Oh that sucks. Pearl paints only get about 75hp. Flats will net 100hp.

Ordered a fan clutch and thermostat. Drove it for the first time in a week. So frustrating not being able to just jump in and go where I want with it which is why I bought a jeep. Nothing but problem after problem since I bought it 3months ago.

Is that two different on each side? What are they from or did you make them? Got a pic from underneath?

Threw my 2 new rim/tires on it. Tightened up my front shock bolts, as they came a little loose since the install. Oh yeah, and checked the oil. Perfect height, and still pretty thin for the 30F / -1C it was sitting at.

Picked the ice off of it, drove south for an hour, picked more ice off of it, drove south for another hour, picked more ice of it...

Currently no ice left. Managed to get the 1/2" thick stuff off in Toronto where it's merely raining. Trek north continues into power outage and accident land!

Mine was the same way, you just have to fix everything before it gets the best of you and you go on a rampage shooting.

Finally took the time to get rid of the bulky *** SJ wire out and ran THW conductor. Frees up space in the grommet. Did this for the inverter. Also shortened the ground. Tomorrow i need to get a new inverter. Probably an 800w.

Pulled the driver's door apart to fix the window lock button and find out why the speaker wasn't working. Speaker wire was cut somehow between the fender and the door so I put in a new wire. And all the passenger window switches work now! Victory.
