Hi All, After a year of heavy daily use, I filmed a walk around of the water tank, pump and filtration system I built into my Jeep. It's been flawless for the whole time, and is problem my most used modification. Fire away if you have any questions on how I built it. -Dan

I drove a bone-stock TJ Wrangler from Alaska to Argentina. (with 4x4) Every time I used 4x4 locals would come past me in a honda civic with 8 people in it. Same story on the West Coast of Africa. You can travel the world in 2WD if you want to. -Dan

My 3.8 was running insanely high under hood temps here in West Africa, so I put Daystar hood vents in and added a Mopar mechanical fan on the front of the water pump. I don't know if you can do the Mopar mechanical fan on the 3.6. Is the waterpump threaded? that might give a hint. I also run...
