Juggy to Glamis

 I took my never-ending Juggy project to the Glamis dunes over the weekend. After 6-7 years of working on it (very slowly) was it worth it? You bet. I've never owned anything with that much horsepower. It scoots!

 Of course, as with any first-time-out Jeep there were a few hiccups. I have a small fuel leak coming from a fitting on the fuel pump, a minor tranny leak at a cooler fitting, a couple bolts were loose, and it overheats a little. I'll head back to the garage and get this stuff figured out pretty quickly.

Although the cooling problem has me a little confused. I'm running a Camaro radiator (designed for a V-8) and I burped all the air out of the system. It doesn't appear to be an airflow problem, it seems like a water flow problem. Even though it's new I'm still pointing my finger at the thermostat. And if that's not it, 4-core radiator here I come.
