New Radiator

Among other carnage from this trip, my radiator finally said enough. There was a big puddle of water under the jeep when I went to unload it. So now I have a new radiator. It lasted 7 years so I suppose that's not too bad.

I also noticed the rear swaybar links all bent again and have really bent up the top link mounts. Maybe I need to take a look at a rear antirock. Will it work with the outboard shocks? I notice I am getting some tire rub on the side of the shock so not sure if it will work or not.

You can sneak the rear AR in there with outboarded shocks. Kind of fiddly, but readily accomplished.

So how's that new 3 row all metal radiator treating you?

I'm cheap and could only afford one row and plastic
It worked just fine at 20 degrees on the trip to and from the car wash.
