I didn’t realize you were in Grand Junction. I’m in Denver. Going up i70 I’ve only ever been to Georgetown but can’t say I’ve overheated, I’ve had my gauge read about 200 though on the longer climbs. One of these days I’ll test it out heading over vail pass.

The closest I’ve ever gotten to even proper operating temps is long extended climbs in the mountains at 60+mph. Theres certainly something mechanically wrong here.

And none of those are adjustable.

You talk like someone who has never experienced good tunable and properly tuned suspension.

There’s a difference between a firm ride and a rough/jarring ride.

I had a similar issue with gates thermostats. Couldn’t get my 09 over 160* all winter no matter what I did. Replaced thermostat again and same issue.

I’ve used a bottle jack and block of wood off the frame top pop a wheel off that’s stuck.

I picked up some new seats for the rear. Can’t beat free99. Just need to make some brackets for them.

You are 100% incorrect on Jatonka seat covers, sir.
