Catching up on a few maintenance and clean up things on Righty, my BJ74.
Replaced radiator hoses and every last original coolant hose, especially those with the cotter pin clamps, the toughest being those behind the valve cover near the firewall. Why I didn't do that when the head was off a while back, I don't know...
Addressed this mess with a knuckle rebuild kit from @cruiseroutfit and a ton of elbow grease. Would have been far easier if whoever was in their last hadn't used some sort of sealant everywhere...between gaskets, on cone washers, everywhere.
Replaced worn and aging visors with new, clean ones that thankfully were an easy bolt on (well, screw in, I guess) improvement
While on the easy bolt on improvement track, I also replaced the rear door stopper bits in hopes of one less rattle on the trail
Then, for one last tweak, a new hood strut grommet. Exciting for sure.
