    Alriiight, got my radiator installed, but still seeing temps go from 185-195 up to 220+ and then falling back down while I drive it. What’s the safe operating temp and when should I think about shutting it down? The needle doesn’t even start to creep up until 225ish.
    Cleared all the codes and the only one that came back was the O2 sensor from my meth special cats.

    Edit: new $35 radiator cap too :kona:

    Anyone on Vancouver Island looking for a project canopy? Free (actually they’ll pay you $20 to take it) AC one missing back glass.
    Not sure if I should post this here or elsewhere?

    Someone could definitely make that a fully functional topper for ~$400 and several wasted weekends. Or they could buy an already functional topper for $400. But if you were dirt broke and just really, really needed something covering your bed, it's an alright deal.
