Radiator install
I found a crack on the top of my radiator, below the neck, and now I need to replace it. I used JB Weld for a temp fix while I'm waiting for my radiator to come in.
Should it be a good time to replace my drive belts while I'm trying to replace my radiator? Any thing else I should do while I'm doing this? Any tips from other members who attempted this?
I have a bout 108K and try to DIY most things in my G. Hopefully this goes well.
Edit:
For you guys that have Koyo Radiator, what fans are you using?

Thanks N8Deezy!
I did change out my belts while the fans and radiator was out. I was going to change my thermostat but I had a hard time removing the lower radiator hose that connects to the thermostat and ended up cutting it off. I replaced it with a Samco hose but didn't have an extra hose for the oil coolant line that also connects to the thermostat.
Issue now is bleeding/burping the system. I've "eaten" coolant the past 2 days since replacing my radiator. haha. Just waiting on my Lisle funnel to come in the mail so I can burp/bleed the system even better.
