well, that would do it. as least you found the problem and nothing got too hurt in the process

no. the thermostat only affect the bottom end of the temp range. once it opens up, it does nothing more to the situation until the temp falls back down to 180. I would put a 195 back in. you want to maintain the proper heat range. too cool can be bad too. 210 is the normal operating temperature for a renix 4.0L. check for radiator condition, fan effectiveness, etc.

upgrades > repairs

there are supposed to be a bunch of new things coming for the wrangler. let the battle begin!

definitely the rad temp switch. do you have a fuel pump resistor?

bump so I can find it

I've only towed a truck on a trailer once and I did all of the above. straps and chains EVERYWHERE. I'm pretty sure if it had a rollover it would remain exactly where it was. good vid!

my 86 was a base model but still had the v6 yes, it should have the chrome too. but it's been 30 years. no guarantees. have you added them to the Registry yet? that might tell you what it came with out back.

nope

found the lsr 2 thread

I see no reason why it wouldn't.

no idea what that would cost, I'm just passing it along. https://wiringharnessrestoration.com/

I like the "lock one rear tire" tight turning feature. I'm sure Jeep will have that soon too.

ebay. amazon should have them too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Trim-Removal-Tool-Pry-Plier-Door-Panel-Dash-Radio-Audio-Interior-Clips-Kit-U/123926961580?hash=item1cda9f5dac:g:TckAAOSwctddZjuW

the owner says he "got drunk and gave it to his son". so I guess it's still in GA.

how tight did you crank on it? I would give the steel a day to relax and then re-tighten, like a lot.

my newest set of tools. trim removal stuff. the one with the arrow is just plain awesome for christmas trees!

found the original thread for #53

the reusable catagory has lots of options that don't involve the trees https://www.ebay.com/itm/Plastic-Set-Rivets-Fastener-Fender-Bumper-Push-Clips-with-Tool-for-Toyota-192pc/224012799266?hash=item3428340d22:g:dZkAAOSwdzte~Lyg

got 2 of those. plus a huge collection of disney, muppets, and other kids shows on tape. it's what my nephews watched while they were over here (aside from pbs)

I completely understand that being a milestone.
