And I can probably get a better mounting solution instead of hose clamps.

Is that out by Tierra Verde?
Over the last week I replaced the water pump, hoses, thermostat, and radiator. It was bitch and a half and I cussed the cruiser more times than I should but it's done with only one small leak from over clamping the water bypass hose from the thermostat to the water pump. It's temporarily plugged by clamping over the hole and not leaking. Will get it replaced shortly. Otherwise it runs and doesn't leak. **** 'n A what a job. Hope to not do that again. But the cruiser lives!

Yes, just past Tierra Verde. Enjoyed a great little French restaurant and then enjoyed the sunset. Great spot.
Something's missing, maybe it's just me. YMMV. Wow, that's the way to baseline a cruiser! Might as well bring it a few more steps. Heck, I'd probably blast it and galvanize it. Like a uhaul trailer, last forever. Or, just build it. Great start!Just got this.....

To funny I was just under that bridge fishing. I always launch my kayaks there. Awesome pic!
Might have responded in IG but yeah this made a HUGE difference in my mileage. Went from 10-11 MPG to 16-17 MPG. Was so ecstatic to get that much of a boost.My original 246k mile front oxygen sensor was responding pretty sluggish so I swapped in a new one. It wasn't bad enough to trigger a CEL yet, but it was quite slow to respond. Hopefully the increased cross counts will help mileage a bit too.
Replacing a friend's radiator. This one only lasted a couple of years but I've done enough of them where I can do it in about 1 hour now.
Grew up off 4th St and 83rd Ave over by Weedon Island. Folks lived out in Tierra Verde for a few years before they moved to Georgia. Thought it looked familiar!

Nice, where did the leather come from? I am very curious about the outcome as this is on my list for the next year or so.
Recieved some more goodies for the rebuild. Getting close to putting everything back together
This is how you’re supposed to fix it right??
Next on my to buy list for the cruiser...fire extinguisher ASAP
What started as this..some kind of hose failure possibly...
Slowly turned into this (notice our front row seats to the fireworks show).
There was even a guy that ran up with a fire extinguisher and put out the initial flame underneath the Jeep but it started right up again in about 10 seconds...at least he tried.
Poor jeep
That’s my pops blue Chevy 2500 which was even closer to the Jeep than the cruiser. First time to ft. Fisher in NC and that happened for my dads bday!
On another note, are these the only acceptable Jeep pics on MUD
