    Temp sensor is just the electronic thermometer which tells you the outside air temperature. I had to relocate it, along with the horns, when I installed both the Grillcraft and the original Hella lights I placed behind the new grill. Was very easy to do.

    Do you have an electronic temp gauge on the above center console? Near the sunglass holder? I think the sensor itself is on the center bracket behind the grile.

    ^^ This guy haha. I missed the last big meet they had cause of work. Defiantly going to try soon.

    I gotta ask are you still running those pizza cutter tires? How do you like them? Ive always heard mixed things between more surface area and less surface area. Everyone has their own opinion I suppose :confused:

    Still running the 255's, and I love them! My turning radius here in Los Angeles is as good as any car's, and it's helped immensely on the trails not only with the same maneuverability around rocks but also with certain corners these others can't make without using reverse. I haven't had a problem with grip on rocks, but I wouldn't doubt the other guys may be able to take a little more air out without blowing off the rim. I'll be getting this size again. MWaP gets less scratches on his rims because his tires stick out more beyond the rim, so I get new ones every trip. The KM2's are solid, and I feel safe going over any terrain, but on-road they don't have as much grip as an A/T. What do you have now?
