Yeah no kidding.
Went to assateague. A long way down the beach Jeep started getting hot. Turned around. Stopped to let cool. Noticed the E-fan wasn't coming on. One of those stops boom. Radiator blew. After looking at it more it looks like the head gasket could use replacing as well.
Took a JK and a diesel to tow me off the beach. Then a F150 towed me to the campground.
My buddy towed me back with his Duramax.
The F150 shifter cable also melted so it had to be manually shifted, and on the way back the Duramax's exhaust fell off after the tunnel.
Been a long stressful, eventful, fun, challenging, exhausting, exciting weekend.
Regardless with all that it was fun, especially after we got the towing figured out and the Jeep was off the beach.
The 33s didn't fit the straps on the trailer. Luckily my buddy picked up my old rims and tires (when I got the Jeep)

Just got charged for Amazon prime. I didn't sign up for Amazon prime.... Sent them an email, and in about 5 minutes I got an email with an apology and my money being refunded.
