Total miles @ 39. Wanted to test all the drive train components. Transfer case, torsion bar release, front and rear locker, lo-lo start with clutch out, auto throttle in lo-lo, everything worked well was smooth and no glitches. Very quiet. No hill climbing in Florida but lots of sand and mud. Was extremely well satisfied. Been in CJ 5's since 1982 and nothing of the past compares (never thought I'd say that). In lo-lo with both lockers on, normal tire pressure. selected a "sand pit" of about 50 yards, never touched the throttle moved through the area with very little hesitation. Sand to within inches of frame. Amazing!! Had the mud guards and the plastic thresholds put on today, will get the Mopar front skid plate on Monday. So far, absolute perfection...no gripes, wind (soft top), no dents, no screws or nuts missing, no paint problems, no drips on floor (after off-road)...one concern; engine (obiviously new and tight) coolant temp went to 223 degrees (rather cool day 60 degrees) and fans came on at 209, slowed rise but did'nt bring down...this is my concern when I install a winch which should not restrict flow in any way.

 

Sounds great! Except....
