I also wanted to point out that Mopar thermostats may be in short supply based on my experience. The first dealer I spoke to said they were out of stock and are currently on backorder from the mothership with no ETA given. Fortunately, another dealer further out happened to have 3 on hand. I...

To clarify my original concern, once the rack bolts are tightened down the rubber gets molded into what appears to be a flange on top. Assuming after enough time that when you remove the bolts again the rubber is permanently fixed in that position. I also wanted to give credit to Scamsurvivor's...

Make sure to post pics, you're doing exactly what I'm planning on my Lib in a few months!

Anyone ever try running Marvel Mystery Oil with their preferred oil flavor to help with slight leaks? I've been running Pennzoil high mileage in another vehicle that uses oil, about a half qt every 1k miles, and haven't noticed any change in consumption. I was skeptical about it to begin with...

Charlesthe2nd, how has the powder coat held up over time/use? I've been considering doing this on my rig eventually.
