Water pump life not great
I had a rebuilt NAPA one that lasted about 70k and 5 or 6 years. I put a Mopar one on to replace it.- HoosierJeeper

Pop noise from rear at full flex - LCAs?
The other idea I have is worn spring isolators... still on the OEM ones at 215k! Wondering if they're worn to the point they're letting the coil move around too much. I know at full flex I can go to the flexed out wheel and move the coil a bit. Haven't lost one yet tho!- HoosierJeeper

Pop noise from rear at full flex - LCAs?
Noticed over the past few months I've had a pop/knock from the rear at full flex. Bit of background, this spring I replaced the trilink with a junkyard mopar one - went bad in a week. Was tired of messing with it, so let my trusted shop put in a "nice" (one with the blue boot on the ball joint)...- HoosierJeeper

Overheating after longer drives and highway speed
220 is pretty normal I think, by straight up do you mean the gauge is in the middle?- HoosierJeeper

What did you do to your jeep today?
Think that even holds true for something like the Rene? Only 12k on it now but probably will change at 30k.- HoosierJeeper

Tri-Link - Common undercarriage rattles?
The only rattle I've had from the rear of mine was the flipper glass latch. Sprayed some WD40 in it and it shut up right away.- HoosierJeeper

Rear upper control arm...
Yep, that's the same one. Oreillys has it too. I just got it locally since I figured if it breaks it'll be easier to swap out. I think most people have issues getting the bushings out, the arm just bends.- HoosierJeeper

Rear upper control arm...
FWIW, I'm running a Napa Supreme one (think it's made by spicer), one with the blue boot, been there a few months and on a few off road trips, it's been good.- HoosierJeeper

Radiator question.
All I do is mine is fill it through the bleed hole, tighten that back up, fill tank to proper level and then let it idle with the cap off and wait a few minutes for it to "burp" and the coolant level in the reservoir drops, then refill and done.- HoosierJeeper

Feeler - Detours USA Backbone Winch Mount
Might be getting an ARB bumper.... would anyone be interested in the Detours backbone? Winch mount that allows you to run a winch with the stock bumper. Discontinued now I think. Thinking maybe $300 or better offer?- HoosierJeeper

Switching to an ARB from Backbone?
Found a used ARB bumper that I might get if I can get a good deal. Right now I have the Backbone on the KJ for my winch. I don't remember doing any heavy modifications to mount that, but is there anything I would've done to the KJ then that would make the ARB harder to mount? And, while I have...- HoosierJeeper

2003 Control Arms and Suspension.
Lots of info on here for the lifts.... do an OME lift. I'd recommend JBA upper control arms too so you can replace upper ball joints instead of the whole arm. OEM lower control arms are like $700 each. I'd buy the nicest bushings you can find and put those into your current control arms. FWIW...- HoosierJeeper

Clunk going over bumps on 06
No rear sway bar bushings on the KJ. Mine had some creaking from the rear and it was just sand/mud caught in the LCA bushings. cleaned it up and it's quiet. OP, what happens when you go like 5MPH and slam on the brakes? if it pops then, the lower control arm bushings are probably shot.- HoosierJeeper
