Also might want to check and see if the aux. fan is kicking in. Are you running the AC? Has your cooling system been flushed recently? Have you checked the radiator fins for blockage...bugs, leaves, etc.? In the past VXer's have had overheating problem due to the fins being clogged with bugs...and it is that time of year when bugs are excessive.
how about mud ? just cracked mine because it got a little too caked after some mudding:bwgr:
"traction ? clearance? angles? haha, nah i just go really fast."
