im gonna wait til the beach.

the front tucks perfectly and the rear has about an inch of clearance at ride height but doesnt rub at all

water temp tops out at 230 when cruising at higher rpms. otherwise stays right around 210-215

isnt that a bit high for a 350?

its a little high. we have a flex a lite fan here at the shop i might put on along with a new fan clutch.

but ultimately i need a radiator, or re-core this one.

but im not too worried about it. it only ran at 230 when i was on it for a long period

when the hoses all explode at the beach saturday, i will "lol"

flush that shit, fill it with a 70/30 water/coolant mix, make sure the cap is good.

 

[ktm racer 419]

it'll be fine.

ill pick up more chicks in this thing than explode hoses

 

[ktm racer 419]

hey why not

i flexed it out and drove around, hit some big dips, bottomed out the suspension and everythang.

they do not rub. i didnt believe it so i put masking tape on the parts of the fenders closest to the tires and there was no sign of rubbage

Its sweet because the blue beadlock ring matches the blue of the truck.

i planned that.

when i painted my beadlock rings for my white cherokee i thought "one day im gonna have a blue j-10 that these would look badass on"

Sam buy http://forum.neow.net/index.php?showtopic=99819 and then shackle flip the rear

 

[Dundy]

don't do that.

 

[ktm racer 419]

i think i might bring it up 2-3" for now with a shackle flip in back and some leaves in front.

i dont predict tons any time soon though

 

[mini=man]
