Nikki's yellow throwback Jeep

So I’m pretty upset to say the least. This is the Mopar radiator that was just dropped off at my house.

Thanks buddy! Looks like you have your hands full rebuilding that xd9000i. Are those pig camo shop towels on your work bench? Lol

Yeah, it is actually a lot more straight forward than I thought it would be. Found a really good write up online.

Haha yeah, my company uses pig mat at work and we order the "camo pig" style from time to time just for fun. I sneak some home every now and then for messy jobs. I used them here just to keep small parts from bouncing/rolling away.

Cooling system all buttoned up. New t stat housing and t stat installed with no leaks, new water pump installed with no leaks, new radiator, new radiator cap, new radiator hoses and a new fan clutch. Flushed the whole system and filled with mopar coolant (thanks for the help @mrblaine ) engine runs right at optimal temperature! Glad to have it all done to be honest.

You are very welcome and even a bit for the shit storm you caused. Gives me a whole new perspective on how folks think about shit.

Well I’m grateful for the advice and time/stress it saved me. 👍🏼
 
Decided to give it a good wash. My thoughts on the new bumper setups: amazing. The previous front bumper was 60lbs, the entire rear system was over 100lbs. Now both front and rear are Savvy aluminum with a MORryde tailgate kit weighing in at less than 90lbs combined. I’m not an expert so I won’t pretend to be but it just drives better now. Very happy with the clean minimal look.
