Since I can’t ride, I might as well rebuild the forks on the bike

Man I’m hating Tapatalk, loading pics sucks
Anyway my brother from another mother in the great white north mailed me a waggy 7 blade fan and reminded me today to try it….. so I just spent the last 20 minutes flogging the hell out of her to try and get the radiator to barf and she didn’t… nice
Adjusted on the headlights while I was at it so I’m not Shining headlights in rear view mirrors
Will have to see if I need a fan shroud this summer

I'm sure the CJ is ok (good gauge sheet metal), I'd be worried about the Civic...

I always thought your jeep was a very dark green, and you were wearing it weren't you ?

It has me in your not going anywhere mode, to crank it I have my foot to the floor til it sputters enough to burn off the excess gas and then it will run fine at around 3k rpm for a few seconds, it seems that once I start to let off the throttle, it will completely die. Gonna try some of thee troubleshooting charts when I get home today
