  • Step by step, how to process of polishing a turbo that started as a cast aluminum housing. Hours of wet sanding and buffing took this turbo from looking like rough concrete to a mirror finish polish!

    A suggestion you can move the fans to the front of the radiator... Back the radiator as close to the motor with some tolerance... That way you will have the space for the headlamps as well with minimal modifications🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

I'm not a Jeep guy typically LOL. But you might be able to get a better radiator at a cheaper price with a tri-five radiator, since they're so widely available rather than a special Jeep LS swap, thing... 😉👍 Just my suggestion... 😁 Can't wait for the next one, maybe they'll be running by then LOL.
