Replaced belts and idler pulley over the weekend. While there my son and I discovered that the oil cooler lines have developed a leak so looks like that's next on the maintenance list for the ol' girl.

those lines tend to seep, if the leak is not bad it may be more advantageous to just clean them and wipe them down with a rag from time to time, even brand new ones may seep in short order....

I just had new ones installed to replace the factory originals that were leaking. And the new ones haven’t leaked at all.

It's actually also producing a drip or two on my garage floor over by the oil filter adapter I just didn't realize that's where it was coming from. I'll be using OEM assembly so hopefully it'll be a high quality piece and not leak for a while after the job is complete.

get a new gasket for the lines when you do the replacment, that's a spot know to leak

Maybe wipe them off and tighten the fittings, keep an eye on them? It’s pretty normal to see some fluid on them like others said.

I don’t think those headlights are legal
:shrug: had them on for over a year and no mention from the popo as of yet. Put out better light than the stock units by a significant amount.

I hear they're offering free drive-by inspections in Washington DC for the next couple of weeks. If you get pulled over, you'll learn everything that's wrong. Just make sure your paperwork is in order and leave the pistole at home.

All is just fine. Been all over the midwest with them, passed numerous LEO and never even a conversation. I have some SUPER eager policemen in some very small precincts within close proximity of me and not even a convo with them after we've driven passed them. It's all good :waytogo:

Recently bought new upper arms, filled them with the Belltech camber kit and installed them before getting it aligned. Super happy now and she sits perfect!

Also deleted the oil cooler lines and installed a block off plate. I do have OEM cooler lines if I got back to stock later but without a lift I didn’t feel like dropped the transfer case and all the crap to replace the lines so out they came!! Very happy with the results and now leak free :pimp:

Now for the bummer news….found this rust a few weeks back. So I’ll hope to tackle this over the summer. I’ll chronicle the process so that the internet can mock me :D

All in all, tho, she’s at about 185k miles and driving super strong. Just as good or maybe better than when we got her 3 1/2 years and 80k miles ago :love62:
