Ah. I'm not going to work that hard to clean the radiator I'm replacing it.. more concerned with the heater core and engine. Acid treatment seems excessive for my junk.. I have hot air in the winter and never overheated

How did you reverse flush the radiator (i know you mentioned a kit, but curious about the process)? Or hook up air for that matter? Into a special radiator cap? Or did you remove a hose? Curious how you flushed it "both" ways. I'm less worried about the actual radiator and more concerned with...

Would running the prestone flush and filled system with distilled for a few days and running the heater periodically not be enough to "flush" the heater core? 🤔 I recall doing a flush with a hose on my zj over a decade ago... like medium pressure into the outlet and the inlet or something? But...

This style petcock is an engineer getting revenge, I swear... F that guy

New radiator is on the way.. wanting to flush the crud out before new water pump tstat and radiator in the most efficient way possible. I have some jb weld, maybe I can just plug it and continue with the flush, even if it drips to circulate as much of the system as I can

Hey there XJ fam... it was time for me to do a radiator flush, it'll be easy I thought... wrong. Nothing comes easy on the 97' Xj it seems. Anyhow, I didn't look up the job on the internet, because I've done much harder jobs and this seemed like a layup. Drain radiator, fill with flush and...

Yep... Just Empty Every Pocket- fix it till its broke.. tons would be bad ass man good luck w that! Glad to see you getting it I it's natural habitat. Mostly snow wheeling up here in Northern Colorado. Got some unibody stiffeners (finally) I need to burn in, and will be redoing my front...

Sexy!

I vote dove nose the current rig!! Mainly cus I'm bias and can't wait to twist up a cage and hack up my junk

With the recent carnage any thoughts on dove nosing it??

Nice score on the Rubicon 44! Whatd it set ya back?? I'd love one, but fear the investment might be too steep and nearly to a 60/ 1ton set up. Like I'll ever be on 40s with my budget lmmfao

I think the cut and fold looks silly with some bumpers... never seen anyone crush that lower corner either. Not like it's killing depart angles right? Cut and fold can look slick, but without a custom bumper idk it's worth it? Plus an obstacle that would actually hit that corner, would probably...

You have a cat before the cross member right? The down pipe connection to the header, has a little doughnut right? The piece you pictured with a new doughnut should be good... for the effort though (mating and welding it to your downpipe after cutting it) might be worth the full down pipe to...

I like that the fleabay one doesn't have the stock kink/ crushed spot...

Sorry for the interjection, all the convoluted side talk isn't helpful for the Op. I'll see myself out and do some research on what might work for my setup. I did find it interesting that jeep jamboree has gone away from cb and requires gmrs to partake.

Oof. Had the zj pump fail with a full tank of gas.. I actually just cut an access panel in the rear hatch and had fun that way. Still sucked. Back then, the "swampy mod" was all the rage so I bought a mustang 5.0 fuel pump an installed it inline under the frame rail just after the filter...

Is HAM and/ or gmrs backwards compatible with CB? Or ya need both? I think CBS still are popular but maybe becoming less so?

Is there not a better option these days? I've been using Motorola walkies with my buddy.. be nice to have something that can talk to a group tho. Gotta believe there is better option than the old cb radios here in the 21st century?

Nitro and liberty of the same year works? I need to grab some at the jy for my spare axle shafts.. if a warn hub goes boom on the trail, or a front axle shaft, I want to be able to throw in a spare shaft with the liberty/ nitro rotor ready to rock

I believe it. Seems excessive imo, but holly hell it was on there SNUG when I converted my zj to an external pump
