Got my oil changed and installed my gray 180 thermostat. The coolant looked pitiful. Time to drain, flush and fill with some good stuff. My temps were averaging 205, drove about 75 miles with A/C on and never got above 196. Gave her a bath when I got home. Stopped at station to fill-er up and the attendant said, that is a beautiful Jeep.

Found a set of new O2 sensors on Ebay, offered 60.00 for pair. Seller accepted and I received them today. Brand new in boxes, Bosch 15175 (seller said he sold D2, before installing them). He offered pair of downstream O2s for same price, now waiting for them and will install all at same time.

I found 1 for 35.00 and purchased it a month ago, but 2 for 60.00, I could not pass it up. Nothing wrong with a spare.

Now is a good time to replace wires if needed and check coils for possible replacement.

Found a brand new set of EBC slotted and dimpled rotors(rear) on craigslist for 100.00, so i went ahead and ordered some Akebono pads for front and back. Found the front EBC rotors to match, they are the 3GD Series rotors. I don't need brakes yet, but I am tired of having to clean the dust off the front wheels all the time.
