Driving with no sway bars is fun. Just did it for the day after I tested my rear bumpstops

You may want to relocate the track bar to the top of the axle so its parallel to the drag link, otherwise thats gonna bumpsteer really badly. Also, just my opinion a stabilizer is completely unnecessary on crossover.

not bad caught it right before it got to the red.

bad thing is this is the first problem I've had in 1000 miles after it being fixed. granted this is the first day it's been in the 90's

new rad, new rad cap, new tstat (about to replace again since this one was in before I originally replaced the rad) , new waterpump, new sensors, new clutch fan, electric fan wired up and yes I was running it.

I'm going to take it out in the morning and drive it for awhile to see how high it gets.. if it's just from the extreme heat yesterday I'll feel better.. it hasn't gotten to 210 a single time since getting it done. My gauge is supposedly off by 10 degrees but it went almost to the red.. autometer water temp gauge is being ordered now.

Yeah it's a work in progress lol. I've actually considered putting the track bar where the stabilizer is and putting the stabilizer where the track bar is. And no a stabilizer isn't needed I drove home fine last night with no wobble. But I eventually want to install a hydraulic assist for my steering, so I might as well get it prepped and run the stabilizer until then.

I like the function, but it would drive me nuts hanging there.
