Loaded her up and went out for a good leg stretch/flex. Went to Prairie City OHV Park outside Sacramento for some fun, and was not disappointed, until the rear view mirror fell off....Seems the windshield in that little section was getting fatigued. Hit a decent size rock coming off a small ledge and THUMP! Mirror falls off the windshield, metal plate and all. Took a little chunk of glass with it as well, about the size of your thumb.

Got a couple videos with the help of a suction cup phone holder on the windshield and I'm working on trimming them down some, length and size. A 22 minute video is 1.57GB ....Not surprising since it's 1080i....Here's a pic of a concrete pyramid she conquered, along with some other Jeeps. That ledge you see near the bottom of the picture is about two feet tall, and there's three of them. So, about six or seven feet tall in total, and surrounded by rocks and boulders.

Eventually when I can afford it again. Still lookin' for another job, so little trips like these are a luxury right now....I think for now, I'll just get the old glass off the metal tab thing on the mirror and stick it back up, either off to the side or under/over the original spot.

hey somethingclever have you removed the stock fan from the engine to run the two fans. ive heard of people doing it and never seen it don't , do you still have a stock rad or is it a bigger one? also does it help with temps at all on any level of degrees?
