Busy weekend on my new "to me" 2004 jeep WJ 4.7 trail edition. 137K miles.
Changed the Radiator because after I purchased it I noticed it had a small leak.
Installed a "Mishimoto" thermostat so it would run a bit cooler.
Replaced all the plug and installed new denso coil packs.
Replaced all the window seals and got ahead of any rusting issue I could find that may become an issue in the future.
Made a huge mistake and listened to the guy at the auto parts store and used ATF-4 in my power steering/hydraulic fan. (Now I'll need to flush the system when the correct Redline Full synthetic power steering gets here.
)
Ordering a RC 4" lift, and STT Pro 265/75R16 tires. (Debating on staying with these stock rims and adding wheel spacers or buying new wheels?)
There's a weird sound on the passengers side almost like a slight exhaust leak?? But because it so tight I'm having trouble seeing where it's coming from?
But it runs great no death wobble, however, I did take a look at the upper control arm bushings and they look like they could need to be replaced? I guess I'll tackle that with the RC lift install.

There's a few thing that I still need to correct. the more I dive into this thing the more I find whoever worked on it previously was a "Brokekanic" But I guess what can you expect from a car that is 18 yrs. old.
