Anyone see any issues here (possible radiator problem?)?

My dad borrowed my daughter’s 2009 Wrangler and he said when he got to work there was steam coming up from the engine and fluid gushing out like a hose. I just got here to the jeep and can see evidence of a bunch of fluid that spilled out onto the parking lot.

However, I opened up the hood and coolant level looks fine, just a little low. It’s been running for over 10 min and nothing is happening.

It seems safe to drive but I’m wondering where all the fluid came from. Any ideas?

EDIT: After posting this, I saw smoke/steam starting to come up so I shut the engine off.

How do I set up Pacer Pro for track run and lap splits?

I just got my first Garmin (970). I used to have a Samsung Galaxy Ultra and then tried Apple Watch for about a week and returned it (hated it).

I love the 970 so far but can’t figure out how to set up Pacer Pro for a track run and show split times for laps. It just shows 1 mile as an option for splits. Well I’m trying to only do one mile and my goal is to get it under 7 min.

I have auto detect on for laps but when I did the run it just showed one big 1 mile track.

Is it possible to set up my watch to show me what pace I need to be at to do a 1 mile run on a track and let me know if I’m behind on each lap in real time?

Changing own oil

I’ve been paying for oil changes about the last 15 years. It was just easy/convenient with young kids but I want to start doing them on my own again. Some reason oil changes cost around $100 now. lol

I got rid of everything before when I last moved. Anything I should order to make things easier or faster? Thought I’d ask before I order the same stuff I used to use.

5 Tire Rotation

Just did my first 5 tire rotation at Discount Tire. Not really Gladiator specific but Im not on any other car related subs or forums.

They just rotated the tires clockwise. When I google 5 tire rotation patterns I dont see a clockwise pattern at all. Is this rotation pattern OK? Seems like a lot of unnecessary work but I know nothing about tires. I guess I'm not confident because they asked me how I would like them rotated and I just said whatever is recommended. He then told me there really isnt a standard way. But now that I'm googling, there definitely seems to be standard ways.

Defender commercial (wade depth)

Saw the commercial last night. They advertise 36", and of course my GF asks "What can yours do?"

I have 37" tires and 2" lift. I doubt I would even go through even half that depth, but it made me curious. What do you guys think would be the max wade depth with this set up?
