For the liner recall? They didn't take my fender flares off...just trimmed the part by the front brake lines and added some screws to hold the liners up better.

I suppose that's one way to toast the engine...literally.
It's never a good thing when you "red line" the temperature...you're risking warped heads and blown head gaskets. As rojenx mentions...mud can't get to the thermostat. It's possible you obliterated your cooling fan with all that fun in the mud, either way...sounds expensive

I would not shoot the radiator or condensor directly with a power washer as you will bend the fins over.
Can you hear your fan running when the engine is getting hot? It should be pretty loud.
And within a couple hour drive, some locations only have mud to play in. But you might want to slow down......

So I cleaned out the radiator.. Now it only overheates when it's idling. So I checked the fan and it was dead... Took intake, fan, and radiator out and thoroughly washed everything. Pulled the motor out of the fan cracked it open and washed it out with wd-40. Everythings running great! So a Saturday filled with these chicks naked mud wrestling, beer, red stag, quads and my jk was pretty fun... But the following day was pretty shitty! All on all not too expensive fix I'm happy! Got my fender clips on order. Oh yeah and I found my muffler the next morning!

Glad you got it all fixed, did it yourself, and it all worked out. Better get a snorkel!

I still remember those days...
Like the time I came home from scouting a trail for an upcoming ride and the wife (#2) was at a neighbors for a superbowl party and when I walked in; she asked the usual question of "How much did it cost us today?" When I replied about $3500 it got real quite & eveyone forgot about the football game and went outside to see the damage.
I had lost it on a hill climb due to busted axle seals and had no rear brakes and was starting to roll over backwards when I hit a tree. The rear glass alone for the hardtop cost $1000.
