    Yes. That and a winch.
    Flat highway doing 65mph under no load it’s between 188 and 194.
    As soon as start going up a hill or 70+mph, it’ll get up to 204. This is in 95 or higher ambient temps and at sea level. I think a bigger than factory tranny cooler might make a difference. TC temps get to 210 going up a grade. Since the tranny lines run thru the radiator, I’m thinking if I can lower them then it’ll help lower coolant temps.

    One, or both, of my hubs only lasted 1 year. I believe it’s the PS that’s howling now. So pissed. Is this gap on the PS normal?

    Looks good! Nice buildup for sure. The hidden hitch is cool!

    What ended up happening with the Dakars? What about your DS, ever get the vibes sorted?
