Yup. I am going to stick a garden hose in the thermostat housing and flush the turds out of my engine with a reverse flush. Then make sure that the heater core and radiator are thoroughly flushed before installing a new thermostat. I also need to pick up some new hardware as one bolt broke and the others are pretty rusty.

Anyone around central AR interested in doing any welding? I have a rear bumper kit that needs to be welded together.

What kit did you get? I might be able to help if we can sync up timing.

I don't remember the brand. I bought it from someone on mud that had it for several years and never installed it. I will take some picks of the pieces. For some reason I think it was called Redline or something. Consists of two pieces that fit into the frame. I already drilled the rivits out of the frame and removed the stock bumper brackets. A bumper that those pieces penetrate through. End caps, and a hitch receiver.

Victory today. After slowly working out all of the air I drove it to LR this morning to go to work. Stayed right in the middle of the temp gauge the whole time.

I test fitted moving the winch mount on top of the frame. I was going to leave the grill and lower valance off but it looks hideous. So I was able to slide the mount forward just enough to fit everything back on. The motor is right against the grill and I had to notch the balance in two places to clear the mount and simple the balance to clear the brake assembly. Now I get to take it back off and put a small piece of plate between the frame and mount to level it as the back of the mount rests on a piece of place that is welded to the top of the frame. Then mount the side braces back on. Also going to check into making a skid that goes from the front of the mount and down to the front cross member.
Copycat.

Smoothed over the end cap welds to make them match the bent edges.
Turned out good!!
Looks really clean! I've got to learn to weld! So many ideas that I want to do.
