The 80 drove me to a buddy's house where I helped him install a lift on his 200 series.

Finally got around to installing the new radiator in the 92. I installed the old one on October 16th, 2008. How the hell do I remember the date? Well, I keep records. But it was also the day after I was diagnosed with cancer and given a year to live. I think I may box it up and ship it to the doctor I told to FAWK off when he told me that. A little note attached "Hey doc. I outlived a radiator. Guess you were wrong. I'll make sure my kid doesn't go to U of Texas. Clearly it's a sh!tty med school. F&@$ Texas!"

Also figured out that the nuts that hold the radiator to the mounting brackets are the same exact nuts that hold the fan clutch on. This is coming in handy since I forgot to order new ones from @NLXTACY and stripped out a couple. Will put the ones from the brackets on to the fan clutch and order some new ones up.

Maybe the quack will think fitting radiators cures cancer....sounds logical...:flipoff2:
 
New windshield!!!!!

Care to share brand/part number or any info about which windshield you bought.
If there is any tint? What color the tint it claims to be or what color you would say it is.
Please.
I'm in the market for a new windshield as mine is getting opaque from tiny chips.
 
Changed out all the low pressure power steering hoses. Had done the high pressure one, but not the low pressure ones. A line to the cooler failed on the trail last weekend.

Swapped out my dented door for a unicorn one with very good shape 40th badge on it. Bought it from a forum member and had a little cosmetic repairs done to it before I installed it. Deleted the spoiler and had the holes welded shut. Need to install the sombrero badge and get a new washer nozzle, the old one was trashed.

Havent done it TO my cruiser yet, but hit the pick'n'pull on her behalf (50% off) and scored some good stuff. Not shown: 2 lexus seat heater switches.

Unfortunately I did NOT get the trooper gas tank that I went for. They punched holes in all of them.
 
Topped off my A/C with some R12. Chilly.

Glad to hear it! Keep fighting..... "F" the Dr's and all their "knowledge"! Having "heart" beats medicine any day...... here's to reading of you replacing 10-20 more radiators!!

I mounted my hi lift and then took off the bumpers so I can take them to get powder coated...
