I spent most of yesterday replacing the rear most freeze plug on the drivers side of my 4.0. @6'3" 250lbs it was a bitch!! :sad0147: Getting the manifolds mounted back up was torture!! Or I need smaller hands with two more joint in my arms!! Also found exhaust manifold cracked. Welded it up until I find a good replacement.

I replaced my cracked exhaust manifold with a header. OMG! What a PITA! I'll invest in some new wrenches (or wrench) before I try that again. I think I spent 40 minutes on one bolt!
