Not too bad. Pretty busy, with all of the Easter festivities, so I didn't get a chance to play in the garage. Hoping the weather starts warming up here soon, itching to get back to work!

Morning everyone.
Jeep survived its first outing on Sunday. Dave and I took both wives and kids out through Mormon Wells Pass. Was a bit worried about the Jeep as it was showing almost redline on the temp gauge about halfway up the mountain. We got to the top without issue and the engine wasn't showing signs of overheating. Down the mountain it was fine the whole way.
Once we got out on the highway at the other end of the pass it started reading hot again. So took it easy until we stopped at the truckstop. Opened the hood and nothing in the engine bay was hot. The engine wasn't boiling or gurgling coolant. So we figure either the gauge or the sender has an issue. I will be flushing and cleaning the system this week sometime just to be sure there is no junk or blockages causing a hotspot at the sender.
Man it was a blast to be able to drive the trail and not just be a passenger. The wife and minion also had a blast. Today is back to the grind as Springbreak is over.
for a size comparison for those that don't understand how big the bronco is. Here it is in front of my cherokee.

Good morning guys
Our Easter weekend was good. Although Kaedons birthday was yesterday, we celebrated it on Saturday with some of her friends & her boyfriend over for cake & a bbq. Her boyfriends dad got to take the Ninja for a spin too & now he's itching to repair the vehicles in trade for it.
Easter Sunday was nice...quiet.
I hope you enjoy your day.
