Several days of great weather in the forecast so washed and top off!

Those wheels are sick! How old are those tires? Dick cepek haven’t been around for a while! I have a set of the 35x12.5x15 extreme country on my OBS Silverado and I love them! Great traction in everything I’ve had them in. Super grippy on the forest roads to my shooting spot and haven’t had a single issue picking up pebbles with them either. I tried to get a set for the jeep a couple weeks ago that’s when I learned dick cepek and Mickey Thompson are now one company and they haven’t made the dick cepeks for quite a while.

Well, I didnt do it..but my father-in-law finished up the paint correction/ceramic on the Wife's Wrangler last night. He had everything done other than where she has graphics to be placed. The graphics came in and she went straight out there after work and installed them herself. I think it turned out pretty good..but it pretty much ensures she won't take it off road now.

Now, to get the bumper and winch sorted..and I believe cosmetically its done. Unless she has other ideas.

I put the top and doors back on. Setting up the Jeep for some travel and wheeling. Taking the 40s off today and putting the 37s with bead locks back on. From Mall crawler to off roader in two days.

I patted my Jeep as I offered my compliments for its superlative functioning from new.

Installed my new takeoff wheels, waiting for the black lug nuts to show up.

AWESOME!!!!!!

It's particularly sweet because it captures the spirit of the ownership experience that I wanted with my YJ, but was denied.

What are you doing to ensure coolant content after this? Assuming you drain the last clear water, then refill with concentrate I would guess you're only around 35% coolant instead of 50. Draining twice?

@Lapis @Heimkehr

I went & edited my post again...

In general, the best & quickest way is to use a vacuum (with air compressor) system that pulls all the water out of the Coolant system via a vacuum and once it holds that vacuum (meaning NO coolant system leak) you will be able to reverse the system & refill the coolant system with the appropriate OEM 50/50 Coolant like @Heimkehr posted. This vacuum system is attached to the Coolant Reservoir Tank opening and everything goes through the Coolant Reservoir Tank.

BUT if you don't have the Vacuum System (which technically called a Coolant Vacuum Leak Test System and is pretty inexpensive & so is a small air compressor), you can do as @c20040215 suggested. This will be fine as the water in the system will evaporate when it gets to boiling temp and will need to be replaced (why you will need to keep checking the Coolant Reservoir level & fill as needed) with appropriate coolant until the system is all 50/50 Coolant again.

This is what we just had put on our Willys.

According to my super engineer father-in-law..this is one of the best single-stage out there.

I made an attempt to repair my damaged fender liner.


Before:

After:

I think this is the best I'm gonna do without replacing the fender liner. The top part seemed to have moved up so I just rattle canned it to hide the body of the Jeep.

This should hopefully hold up until I eventually decide to replace all of these RC liners.

how did you catch that spot on the fender liner? I am curious as i have the same setup.
