Just replaced radiator, thermostat and water pump on my 01 TJ. Runs at 85'C all day. Waterpump cost me $75 from local auto supplier. Easy to fit, but obviously the radiator, shroud etc etc has to to removed.... Old girl just clicked over 190 000 ks.

I had to replace a water pump at last minute on a Sunday arvo not long ago.
Picked one up at a premium price (Repco)local auto part store for $120, had it done that evening.

tks, Bursons new $110. or Jeep recyclers $45.
checked temp gauge & its 5% out(reading higher)
but regrettably enough had become enough.
I was concerned that this car may not be what my son really needs, it suited me more than him & I think I built it for me.
I traded the TJ in today.
I bought it for $3500 4.5 years ago as a wreck, totally rebuilt it over the years as an ex 4x4 comp racer would that works in the 4wd industry, it had it all & what I couldn't get off the shelf was made custom it even had new paint,new soft top,new wheels tyres,new bla bla bla, new ect ect ect.
The car yard was pretty happy, they gave me $14k as a trade & said it was the best 2002 TJ they had ever seen.
The car was in show room condition & with custom fabricated guards & fenders ect It looked like it should have been at a 4wd show, It had only done nearly 1000klm since full rebuild & hadn't seen the mud yet.
Oh Well, (sob sob) she is all gone now.
