Kona Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 So is staring to get cold at 4am on my way to work, so bought a new heater core and got to it!, with The bad that the previous owner had a large family of mice living inside the ac/heater, and they had a feast with some wires and vacuum lines! And the feast! So I'll have to rewire the thing and figure out where this vacuums go to, because I can't find the other end! Lol, also the bolts that hold the heather core box to the firewall were all stripped so a few (4 out of 5) had to be cut! So to home depot we Go to find replacements, the box have a few cracks and holes that will need to be repaired, anything else I should do while I'm in this deep?

gogmorgo Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Looks pretty good. The tires look way too huge though, for the size of the wheel wells. The o.d. and the flat black always go well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kona Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 The tires look way too huge though, for the size of wheel well. Yes, I'm going up about 5" and 33's, that is a spare from one of my tj's, just to see what I could fit. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
