I did alot of digging on this lately, as I plan to do it too.
I found the lower hose, a temp sender coupling for a bleeder screw to thread into, and the thermostat housing that takes a GM 180 degree thermostat.
As well as Best4x4's pyrex clear tube mod to go with it.
All of it is really straight forward.

Thanks sixpack! This is really helpful. The original write up is on the Virgin Islands LR Club site, right?
I don't know, everything above is what I pieced together from several threads on this site.
Unless something better turns up, I'm pretty sure these are the parts that I'm going to use.
seens like the inline mod doesn’t change things that much
What did you expect ???? The inline on not inline thermostat does not change the operation temperature of the engine coolant. A thermostat dictates when the flow changes from bypass to radiator.
And does no other function. A thermostat does not make an engine run cooler or hotter. After it opens the flow to the radiator and closes the bypass, the engine coolant temperature obeys to many factors none being the thermostat. Clues: air flow, rpm, ambient temperature, climbing...
