As you stand in front of your Jeep, the radiator drain plug sticks out the bottom of the left side. With a large gathering container on the floor, loosen the drain plug with an open-end wrench (or more suitable tool if you have one) only until the coolant flows through the spout, it's made so you don't have to (or want to) completely remove it. Now empty, you can either use a flush-N-fill kit, or if you're on a budget, run water at moderate pressure through a garden hose at the radiator cap opening for 20-30 seconds and let it drain. Tighten the drain plug and refill with a good mix 60/40 or whatever's best for where you live. [Take care to refill slowly - even though OEM radiators are supposed to purge air pockets, I had already installed a new aftermarket radiator and didn't want to take any chances. Air pockets can cause cooling system malfunctions and engine damage in a general sense, I'm not enough of a technician to list specifics.] Good luck !
