    Gonna be some good build videos for the gladiator one of these days im sure, can't wait to see it!

Thanks for sharing and battling through those bugs at that!

    Oh, I don't know if you're selling "Big Bird" specifically because of a bad head gasket, but before you do. There is all kinds of head gasket seal stuff, that you just dump into a radiator, with clean coolant, and that's pretty much all you have to do. But ya, look into it, to see what "Head Gasket fix" stuff would work best for your situation, before you sell "Big Bird" then find out, for a $40.oo bottle of "Bars Leaks" Head Gasket Fix you could have kept "Big Bird" you know assuming, the head gasket is the only issue your having with the TJ? New trucks are very nice, but old is gold, my man! 😁 👍 😉. 🙃

    • @SmokinMonkeyOG
      @SmokinMonkeyOG  Місяць тому +1

      Yeah, I think I’m on my fourth treatment of that stuff already lol and I’m not selling it just because of the head gasket I’m selling it because after I fix this head gasket there’s gonna be another problem in a couple weeks and then another one after that and another one after that and I’d rather put money away to buy a house then keep repairing this thing and keep it going

    when the population of insects is high, means u have a healthy ecosystem, as those bugs are food for other animals which attract predators of those animals etc.
