Updates from last post…
-“Paint matched” fenders and hood…
-Towed in the the front tires about an inch, it tracks much less terrifying now lol still about an 1/8th out.
-swapped to a 195 from a 180 degree thermostat cause I’ve been trusting the stock coolant temp gauge….
I thought it was running rich cause it never got to operating temp.
Turns out my stock gauge only gets to “normal” when it’s at like 210
Put 188 miles on it yesterday with 80-90 or so dirt miles.
Also spent some time in the yucca valley o’rilies parking lot … but that’s @Bpbuilt’s story to tell
It was great to finally get some real desert miles on it.
Overall it did really well the whole day- pretty plush on most of the rocky sections, we didn’t get beat up in the chatter bumps going up rattlesnake, And I can throw it around pretty good in the tight stuff.
As for blasting the whoops…. Small to medium… Super comfortable.
The section between giant rock and Boone RD. Is another story… I tried to chase @Turboyota @BROmanian and @whitetrashkyle
I had my foot to the floor locked in second gear, George Micheal's blasting through the intercom and the bronco was eating up everything that came our way…. For about 35 seconds
my rear 2.5’s had enough of that and gave up in short order lol
We climbed out of Johnson valley back towards big bear and had a stop at the tree
Poured one out for @Bpbuilt since he didn’t make it that far

Then the wheel delete
My dad texting my mom telling her he was gonna be late getting home and that she could start wheel of fortune without him.
“Neature”
But we made it off the trail before dark
