    just a heads up for those who off road. Keep an eye on your coolant level. I splashed quite a bit out of the overflow jug on some rough trails today. Nothing major, just something to be aware of.

    There was a mod someone posted up showing a way to connect a rubber line so that it would spill underneath instead of all over the engine.

    Mine just hit the radiator and fan. It would slash up and out the overflow hole in the cap on big bumps

    99.5% will never have this issue.

    Hmmmm. The other day I was out wheeling and noticed the sweet smell of coolant. Just chalked it up to being hot as two squirrels going at it in a wool sock. Ill have to pay more attention next time and look under the hood to see if I'm splashing coolant around.
