Zack, I need to see that front end maxed out already


That's a sweet picture, though.

 

Decided to go wheeling at 7 and hit all the water logged trails and the " pond" I wade thru....for my first 4 wheel drive vehicle I'm pretty damn happy...especially finding trails !

I wish my ride to work went thru the forest

 

How about some before and after pics? What size did you move from and to?

 

Here you go. When I first got the truck in August, and yesterday. I went from 255/65 to 265/75 tire sizes. It is amazing the difference the TF lift made to the truck, my net gain from the lift was almost 3.5in over the old suspension.

 

New upper hose and gen. LR 180* tstat. What a difference from the motorad.

 

Yeah about to do the same. I think pretty sure previous owner had 180 LR stat in it as I ran about 185 to 190 when I first got the DII. Earlier this year I started noticing the temps creeping to 210 here and there and found a leak in the old style upper hose. Ordered a new upper hose and actually had the motorad thermostat I bought when I got the car just never installed since temps were good. Well decided to go ahead and replace and sure enough my avg is now about 195 so up about 10 degrees. Now thats it is hot out my temps are getting in the 215 range with AC on and sitting still. Just replaced the condenser fan last year (blowing the right way) and the viscous fan after warmed up only spins about 45 degrees so think it is good so suspecting my radiator may be in need of a good flush or replacement. Figure I will flush first with motorad thermostat then replace it and see where I am at. Didnt have dexicool in it from previous owner but still suspect it could be sludged up some

 

I wish I lived near a natural tree. one would be enough.

 

Where you live there's no trees ? I just found miles of trails close by...one is only about 1/4 mile from home... Spoiled here in north central Massachusetts
