    :pout: lol it doesn't matter to me what it's called but I do agree we should just use this thread since it already has traction and a regular group following it. Starting another wouldn't really make any sense

    Think we gotta tag @schecter517 though since he's OP and can make the title change, if he's up for it anyway

    Gotta take advantage of this cool weather while we can, once the heat hits I'm always less inclined to go out unless it's a cooler weekend. Wheeling in the heat is never as fun.

    I'm with you on that one. I loved the weather on our last run. About as good as I could have asked for.

    It used to be worse for me because my truck came equipped with aftermarket electrical cooling fans that the PO installed, and they were crap. Truck would overheat if I was in 4WD with the AC on, so I had to do it without AC.

    Luckily one day on my way to work, the wiring harness for the e-fans caught on fire (didn't seem like luck at the time) so I ditched them for a stock fan clutch setup. Been golden ever since, but I much prefer being able to wheel with the windows down and a cool breeze in the air.

    TLDR - e-fans suck, don't use them

    Honestly, I dont mind the warm weather as long as we have a lot of water, but i definitely see how some people dont enjoy it lol. To be fair i have never had problems with my AC though lol
