Put Rusty's motor mounts in, replaced my front windshield washer pump and replaced the fan clutch. The motor mount i put in the driver's side 5 months amd 8000 miles ago was already showing signs of tearing. Passenger mount looked ok for it's age.

Must be nice to have a Jeep that does not need any work. LOL.

Finished filling and burping the cooling system after new radiator, hoses, thermostat, and water pump install. BTW, if anybody cares, I highly recommend using this radiator coolant filling funnel kit from EPAuto. Makes burping the system super easy and without coolant splashing around.

Well after telling myself for about 45 years that I should learn how to weld it looks like the time might have come.
$250 off Craigslist. A Millermatic 135. To be frank all I know is that it turns on. But the guy, who doesn't know how to weld either, assured me it works as it should.
One of his workers used it to weld the hinges on a Bilco door.
So clean as hell. No gas in the tank but is does have a 2015 date code. And one of the gauges is missing the plastic.
Came with all the crap on the table. It has the flux core stuff in it now. So have find a manual to download. Do some reading. And we shall see what happens.
Before I invest in any gas going to give it a go with the flux core.
I stopped by my buddy's garage right after buying it and he said I did real well.
He knows how to weld. Matter of fact he told me after I determine that it does work to bring it to his garage and he would teach me to weld on my machine.
I like the sound of that.
So............

Changed the oil. Again. Turns out my 200,000 mile engine doesnt like synthetic. Went wheeling this weekend and people behind me reported slight oil smoke. Whoops. So back to conventional until it blows up.
