[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 719893, member: 6317"] Took half the day off today and will be off tomorrow to get this thing ready for the trails tomorrow. Started out screwing with the cooling system...was having issues getting coolant to flow. It took pressurizing the system with the hose end sprayer to get things moving. In the process I put a new water pump and thermostat on the motor too. The VW fan switch works...I think I wish it had a lower cut off temp though. At this point it runs 210 and cools to 195. Plan to hook up the Torque app tomorrow and see what the ECU says the temp is compared to the autometer gauge. Once that was working I moved on to cut off the upper link mounts on the axle. Got lucky and made a single... albeit very long ...single cut from end to end with the sawzall. The mounts are moving 3 inches outward on each side. Here's where I stopped tonight...
