I have a water leak thats coming through the cowling (wiper area) and puddling on the drivers side floorboard. Does anyone know why the cowling is slotted? I'm thinking of just covering it to keep the rain out.

96 4.0L. Been working through an overheating problem. I took the thermostat off to replace it and no coolant spilled out. That cavern was totally empty behind the thermostat. Is that normal? I kinda expected coolant to spill out. The overflow tank is at the right level too. thanks, tim

I'm replacing my rear shock mounts tomorrow. Which is better with regards to binding – the original post style that is perpendicular to the axle, or change to a post that runs parallel with the axle?

Replacing the rear axle shock mounts with the short JKS's. What's the best way to get 'em off? BFH and cold chisel, cutting wheel, or what?
