So I just got back from a trip in Blue Ridge, Ga. While on the way back to Florida, I noticed when I was stopping for gas (with the Jeep turned off) my Water Pump would dump the radiator fluid in the water pump. I was having to add a little coolant to the tank occasionally. I am going to go ahead and replace the water pump. While I have it out I was going to also replace the fan clutch, alternator, and serpentine belt. Is there any other parts I should look at replacing while I have it apart? I have several small projects I need to knock out before I make any other trips. They are:

Replace Water Pump
Replace Alternator
Replace Serpentine Belt
Replace Fan Clutch
Oil Change
Diff Oil Change
Replace Rear Upper Shock Mount Bolts (broke one off on the trails, so I am going to replace all the shock mount bolts with Grade 8 Bolts)
 
thermostat (factory temp, add bleed hole if needed)
back flush the cooling system (heater core) before installing new components
 
Add these to the list:

- water pump inlet tube
- upper and lower radiator hoses
- heater core hoses
