So I'm about to change the thermostat but before I need help in few tips what thermostat do I need, I need gasket or RTB and where's the thermostat I think is in the upper radiator hose but I'm not sure and by the looks of this pics do I need to change my thermostat?
I found that my coolant looks like this lol

how many miles, is your jeep running hot, yes - that fluid looks pretty dirty

I'd change the fluid and see if that takes care of it unless you're experiencing other issue. Both hoses should feel warm when you touch them - I'm talking about radiator hoses so get your brain out of the gutter :doh:

Thermostat uses RTV, easy to replace just use stock temperature rating.

Edit - you have a 2008, it may have a gasket - you work in a place with parts access, look it up! :crazyeyes:
