Gotta new radiator showin' up tomorrow, saw some how to R&R the thing, but, don't seem to be able to find them NOW!...Any clues as to where they might be...or even a link...otherwise, I'm startin' at the top and pullin' everything in my way until I get it out...
So, a brief primer would be helpful...
Thanks!

That's pretty much it. Start at the top and work your way down. Fan clutch needs to come off. There is some debate as to whether to pull the rad with the coolers attached or not. I left mine in the truck. If you do it this way.. There are only 2 Phillips screws (1 per cooler) and they slide off of the radiator. Little hint.. be careful with the plastic hose. Take note of the thermostat orientation.

Other than that take your time. It is actually one of the easiest radiator replacements I have ever done.

Filed a claim, because some @#$hole hit my parked Disco. Smashed the bumper and bent the rear quarter panel. Happy Memorial Weekend!

can't sell princess truck! had '01 in arkansas at a vaca. place. sold the property a few weeks ago and now the truck. it was not for sale. I was going to go get it, but got a call from a neighbor.....price was right. so, on to the next guy.
bought it as a parts truck and I accidentally got it up and running, for cheap.

Installed trailer wiring harness from AB. Now I have to find something 'fun' to tow... Been thinking about an offroad tent/trailer setup for camping. Lot's of cool options out there; albeit pricey. Decisions, decisions...

I keep eyeing those too, but so far, they are pretty pricey here too. Last one I saw on Craigslist was $12k. And it was a small one, but set up really nice.

Yeah and they tend to go REALLY fast when you actually find a used one for sale. I keep lurking on the Expedition Portal forum. I have two trailer setups that I keep going back to...


Bivouac Camping Trailers | M.O.A.B. FORT XL


MORV Explore | Manley ORV Company



The Fort XL with the kitchen setup is probably my overall favorite. With that one you get the upgraded (larger) Tepui RTT. Hard to justify spending that much money, but an awesome camping, etc. setup for sure.
