Well I have good news for um me I guess...I dug into the MAJOR coolant leakage from last night in the parking lot of Wallymart. As I suspected the bottom hose from radiator to engine had been cut by the hose clamp that the PO put on. Here is a pic of the damage:
HOSE CLAMP VS. Radiator Hose
Hose clamp WINS by use of numbnuts previous owner not knowing how to put on hose clamp
Total cost for me $9.99 for new hose and $16 for coolant which isnt bad considering this could have happened on the trail or could have been worse!
I am supposed to get rear bumper and sliders tomorrow!
