Ive driven it a little on the hill roads maybe 1/4 mile and have no large issues. The real test is tomorrow when I take it into town to get those tire’s mounted and the welding done. Because once those two things are done its gotta get hooned for roughly 30 miles(shame I know) to see if the electrical gremlins persist.
