A couple weeks ago posted some pics on here of the Mt Aerosmith area ., Tried to access trails we could see across the valley . Sadly heavily gated so no access .
Went back to Lake Cowichan and explored an area never been to . It was awesome . Shelf roads as far as the eyes could see .

Auxbeam 3.5" spots. Depending on wheel backspacing will determine how big of a light you can go with
Backspacing on my Fuel wheels is 4.5 inches .
3.5” is a half decent size !
Good to know , Thanks .
Going to see what KC has that would fit down there .
No, I live on Vancouver Island which is located in British Columbia along the west coast . Washington State is directly south of BC.
There are 7 big wild fires in the province next to BC . Alberta .
There are also wild fires in Manitoba which is central Canada . I saw a smoke map and noticed a lot is blowing into the US .
Thankfully & Luckily we haven’t had any sizeable wildfires on the Island . Mainland , central BC has had some serious wildfires over the past few summers .
We have an appointment this Thursday with a neurologist about 2 hours away from us. His veterinarian did up his seizure medicine till we see the neurologist. So far we been seizure free
Thank you for asking 
Glad you're not in the fire zone. We got an alert about the smoke and air quality
Went to Maclure Lake area yesterday . Half way between Lake Cowichan and the coast .
Really Steep shelf roads . It was a hot one . 30 def C. Or 86 deg F. . Good way to test the cooling system of Jeep . No issues thankfully .

Worked on my steering today. Got new TRE’s to install. I stripped the powder coat off the links and cerakoted them to match the “nardo gray” paint on the body.
First part was removal. The high steer dies not leave much room
Something like brake fluid must have dripped in the rods. Crusty and corroded

99.9% finished with the steering arm project. I need to get three 5/8 gr8 washers for the TRE nuts. The teraflex knuckle arms are drilled straight with taper adapters, these need a slight gap under the arm, a washer will fix it. It had gr5 washers but they looked a little beat up and bent.
Ordered new battery cables, a new starter, and a transmission cooler. I got the dreaded HOT OIL message a couple nights ago so now it's a scramble to figure out what's wrong. Admittedly a couple of these things I've been meaning to get but kept putting off.
3.6? Probably either a bad oil cooler if it's original or the temp sensor. They are also known for damaged wiring under the oil cooler. Honestly, I'd replace it all if you're going to have the intake out already.
3.8L. I tested every fuse, looked for destroyed wiring, am reasonably sure it's not my TIPM.
Got the hot oil message not long after purchasing 2008 Jeep.
Hot summer day , long mountain incline, Hot Oil.
Added a B&M trans cooler in series with stock trans fluid cooler . Haven’t had an issue since .
I got a Hayden 678, just have to make a bracket for it. This is the first time I've ever gotten HOT OIL though.
What was your driving situation like at the time you got Hot Oil message ?
Stop & Go traffic, hwy or heading up mountain ?
About a half hour of highway driving, outside temp was about 106. I went into a housing development, shut down for about a hour and then when I left, got the message right outside the development, my instrument cluster lit up, and the engine died.
Installed new battery clamps on the daughters JK. Found a bolt to use for the negative terminal as getting an allen wrench in there is a pain. Instead of stripping the cables and putting on new terminal ends, I decided to cut up the old ends and just use them. In the long run it ended up being easier doing it this way. A few months ago did my wife’s and stripped them, cleaned up the cables, and put new terminals ends on. Also put seat covers on the wife’s JKU, someone from work gave her a set. Overall they looked pretty good.
