2013Yes 25-35mph. How old are your tires?
Got the paradox line kit installed, got most of everything reinstalled from the water pump install then discovered a stupid crack in the fan blade I didnt notice before...sheesh. Ordered a replacement fan last night from midwestmilitaryequipment. Now to run my radiator down to a shop to have it check out seeing I found some "combat stop leak patches" on the lower hose at the neck. Somebody must have been off roading and doinked the water neck pretty hard creating a good sized flat spot causing a leak. It didnt leak when I bought it but I cant put it back on knowing its like that. Hopefully its not cracked and they can straighten that out.Started the fun task of water pump replacement with all new hoses (not shown), now on hold because I stumbled upon the Paradox line kit to aid cooling the rear of the engine so I ordered that. Replaced fan clutch bearings seeing Its already out. I don't want to have to get back in there for awhile. Nice to be able to work on something not complicated with electronic gizmos.
Update, so I ran my radiator down to the shop I had in mind only to find out the owner stopped doing radiator service last year. I did get lucky because he asked me to show him what I had going on. He said "hold on because I didn't sell everything and kept a few tools". He came back with what looked like a set of pliers but they had half round ends in one hand and a tiny little ball peen in his other hand. He got on it, expanded/rounded it out smooth and had it back in shape in mere minutes. He saved me replacement cost and I gave him many thanks. He wouldn't take any compensation for the work either.Got the paradox line kit installed, got most of everything reinstalled from the water pump install then discovered a stupid crack in the fan blade I didn't notice before...sheesh.

Losing the stud, did you lose pressure as well, or everything else held the inner o-ring in place? Should be pretty easy to pound it out and put in a new one with the tire on -- but I'd definitely remove the air as a safety measure.Last weekend did a trip to Pine Island, FL to bring some supplies and water to the affeceted by Hurricane Ian. The MV behaved as expected, only one wheel stud snapped, will check the torque in all of them.

Nice looking brush guard. Are you planning on modifiying the mounts so you can still use the tear drop shackles or leave as is?And brush guard just cameView attachment 882272
No, never lost pressure. That is the idea, remove the air repalce the stud and torque as necessary.Losing the stud, did you lose pressure as well, or everything else held the inner o-ring in place?

They did, even though FEMA was already on site, there was a church and a fire station at the end of the ialand that they really appreciated it. They say probably they were forgotten as supplies didn't make it that far.I'm sure they appreciated the support. Who's seats do u have in there?
