Replaced the thermostat in my Jeep. Guess it got fried when the oil cooler blew out.
What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Installed a Rhino Rack Backbone and Pioneer Platform on my Jeep JL. Great product and company! Was missing a keep component in the packaging, contacted RR Customer Service and had it the next day (from Colorado).
Couple lessons learned
1. Tape below the mounts on the outside of the hardtop. Tightening the hardware is awkward and can easily lead to a slip which in turn could result in scratches to the hardtop
2. The Butyl Mastic you apply around the holes gets everywhere. Make sure not to apply too much.

Today I finally had time to install the sliders I made.
I picked this up from a guy on Craigslist. He bought it for his 2017 and his wife hated it and made him sell.. pretty new and in great shape. Just dusty from sitting in his shop for a while. Gonna clean it tomorrow and throw it in!
I also ran sealant around my bed seams to keep out undercarriage dust.

Swapped the intake tube on thecopcar. Note theothertwin looking on sadly.
It’s good for 47.2 HP, and dropped 3 seconds off the 1/4 mile ET.

Once you hit 60% throttle position, yes. Which is what I wanted.

I'm jealous I'm being forced to go to the nasty beach after Thanksgiving with family, I've been trying my hardest to steer em to want to camp up there rather than in sand. No dice yet.The XJ hauled me around in the Ouchitas for a 2 nights.
Today I continued on the install of the decked system. Cleaned the whole thing and installed it. Overall a very nice system. My only gripe is the drawers don’t open as far as I’d like. I’m already thinking of ways to remedy that issue.

Had a nice experience today. I had an unexplained loss of coolant for some time. Well, a damaged spot on the radiator was found and now I have a new radiator in it. Hope that was the damage and now all is well - must watch it.
Well, today made a longer test drive. Checked everything in a parking lot. And there was someone with a cooling problem, all water boiled over. Got the vehicle towed to the next place where he was picked up and got help. As a thank you he wanted to give me money. I refused of course and told him that the next time he sees someone with a breakdown, he should help that person, that's the way to go!

Got the frame cleaned up with the wire wheel and needle scaler, cut off the rusty battery tray and welded in a new one and welded up a series of cracks on the front of the frame and used the flap wheel to clean up those and some other nasty welds the previous owners have done. Tomorrow I hope to lay down primer and paint on the frame but they're calling for a very windy day so I may not be able to without moving it into the garage. This is the last large item before I can start going back up with this project. I have a giant pile of parts just waiting at this point but I"m sure I've forgot a few things and will be waiting on parts at some point.

Nice. That looks like a Rago? I wish they made one that fits my ZR2.

Yep it is a Rago! I will say I have big hands and it was tough to install in the front mounting holes. Would have been easier probably to remove the entire center console rather than just the top. I think if they were to branch out from toyota and lexus they'd be very popular.
