Whats the brass one in the middle? A Dipstick?
I honestly do not know...not even pictured on their website catalog...I'm guessing a boss for a temp probe? I'll look at it more closely during tomorrow's install...had to be Mr. Mom tonight and cook dinner...this domestic s**t sure cuts into my wrench time! :happy175:
Just like work negatively impacts fun time...as you are re-discovering! Still, I'm glad to hear you are once again nose-to-grindstone...:whip:
Ubuntu? Debian? OpenSUSE?
HP DL380 G6 with 6 VMs running on it (Windows Server 2012 R2)
HP rp2470 HP-UX box with their custom POS software on it
Kind of looks like a sight glass, to see how full.

Seeing as our stock cover has the fill hole a little below center, that brass plug would then be the "fill to" check point, while you're adding the oil into the top opening. Filling the oil up to the top fill plug would put the oil level waaaay too high.
But that's like extra gear oil for, you know, like later, man...

Riiiiight. Like with engine oil....if 5 quarts is good, then 7 must be better! :happy175:
Installed my Cb, my lights, cut the bumper, relocate my fog's, put my RTT, 3 inch leveling kit and went wheeling in Casey north region in Quebec.

I bought it here in Quebec craiglist for 550$can. Very good price. They selling it for 750$can Tx in. It's must be some Chinese importation from the same plant that makes ARB RTT. The brand is Explorer.
I installed it on the original plastic and aluminum rack but I did reinforced it with some rubber pieces between the rails and roof. Dont put an RTT on your roof without doing that. Illtry to post some pics soon to show exactly what I mean.
Stock roof rails are only good for 150 lbs max, so yes install some good aftermarket metal bars to hold a RTT.

I notched out my shroud this morning.
7" x 0.5" notch was barely enough get the shroud out.
The dimensions may vary depending on what clutch fan you have.
The goal is to notch it out enough to move it pass the clutch fan.
Now I can get to my oil pressure sender, lower rad hose and thermostat.

Well done man!!
Told you it wasn't much of a notch - just enough to get the shroud wiggled out. You'll do it a few times and be able to swap it out in less than 5 minutes :waytogo:

Thanks Bob!
I took a video of me taking the shroud out and explaining the process in case I ever forget the steps.
Very specific steps just to remove it.
The first and best mod I've done on the jeep.
Any other helpful mods?
