Oh yeah. Jeep did great 150 mile round trip. Except when we did a little slow wheelin to get to the top and idled for a few minutes to take some pics and hang out and things got warm.

Engine did great but the FCC cooked up the fuel pump some exposing a major flaw for off roading and it got hot and shut off and wouldn't restart. Combined with the extra heat from the hills we climbed, elevation, and idling. Not enough fuel seems to circulate from the gas tank to keep the sump cool enough as it doesn't draw enough cool gas when it idles... A couple handfuls of ice and a few minutes wait it started back up and cooled off just fine all the way back np once the air circulation and gas circulation did its thing.

Im building an in tank hi pressure fuel pump system tomorrow and FCC will go back to summit with no good recommendations from me.

And I bet The dog probably said something like,

" Nothing smells more like Jeep than human adrenaline when it won't start up ".

Darn nice looking Wagon, darn nice lookin dawg, the crew with ya ain't too shabby, but the view from where you were is as good as it gets except when it's the one you got to sleep and wake up to!
That's one good JeepDay there! The last ride in the LJ the big dawg stayed home. It weren't the same without the wet dawg smell, DW didn't seem to mind though....hmmmmmmmm what's that about?
