Lookin' good, brosef! Looks like you had plenty of up/down travel in the rear too. Was it on the bumpstops back there or was it just not enough of an obstacle to engage the rear axle's articulation?

An electric fan will save about 10-15 hp because of drag. Plus it will run cooler.

I don't personally. But there are a few. The 90's Ford Taurus fan is the best on the cheap. Hit up pick n pull. I did it on my ZJ. Piece of cake.

Not pictured here is the doggo that came running up to me crying looking for love. I was well outside of any houses so i figured she was lost. Took her to the humane society and they are gonna try to find her family or adopt her out

You know I found that out the following weekend lmao went to some other trail and passed about 5 hunters getting ready to head out. Went back to this first trail and didnt see anyone so I popped the hammock back up and shut my eyes for about an hour in the tree. Didnt hear a thing! Thanks for the heads up tho. Ill be sure to stay out of the trees

You oughtta come down for a visit some time, man. Between the Ocala National Forest, all the lakes, rivers, and the Gulf, and Hardrock and a few other secret wheeling spots - you'd have a vacation you'd never be bored on!
