So took the jeep out for some trail riding last night and back in the pit. Had a good time. First time I had it out offroad at night so the KC's came in handy. In the middle of our trip a thunderstorm rolled in so that was really cool. Since it was pretty hot here i was worried about the jeep and the aux fan not working. But since I did all the tests and they all pointed to everything being fine I trusted it. At one point climbing up a hill she went a tad past 210 and the aux fan popped right on and cooled her off. So now I know for a fact everything is in good working order. No pics bc of the rain and lack of light though!

Coming up this weekend: DOORLESS!

Spoke with Chris at L&L fab and he said the bumper is coming along. Still no tracking info or shipping date but it's well worth the wait. Right now I have a laundry list of parts that I need before June 14th for the jeep invasion down here in ocean city!

Oh trust me I'm the same way. Haha. It's going to have to be a give and take. If always wanted to go doorless bc of the obvious awesomeness. But the interior will probably get dirty. Just going to have alot of cleaning to do! I want to get rid of my ac compressor for on board air so having the doors off will be nice

Get rid of the air cleaner box instead and keep your AC

Yeah it gets hot here but not that hot! Last summer is was like 105 for a few days and everyone was freaking out. It just blows when it's that hot at work. Those engines can get scorching hot it takes your breath away.

It's just so humid here in the summer. It's never a dry heat. Everything always feels damp and sticky bc I'm right across the street from the ocean.

But then where would my air box go? Haha... I don't mind getting rid of the ac. I hate having my windows up. Even in the middle of winter you'll see my Window open ¼ of the way. I'm going to need the stock air box to tie a snorkel into.
