Got to get back in the car again a week after my surgery. Things are going well, and driving is a win. Though the cruiser is HATING the heat. its been 100+ a few days in a row and the AC only works when then engine is above 1200 rpm because there is only a clutch fan and no electric pusher fan for the condenser (yet). plus my evap system gets all gassy when its really hot, which is lovely. Radiator is doing its job though, never spiking above 208 and usually hanging around 196-199.

Also got my GX fixed (new CV) from the dealer gratis...actually more than free because we cleaned them out for free soda’s granola and cookies. take that! Also, this. You know off-roading is serious business these days when this is in the showroom floor (not used). If these didn’t have the worst, approach angle ruining face ever...

anyway. There you go

Glad the recovery is going well, and I hope future recoveries are entirely of the off-roading kind.

Congrats on the recovery. My wife’s healing up from a broken foot. I can’t wait until she can drive again.

Glad to hear your back on your feet, Patrick.

I had the opposite problem recently when my home AC died and I had to go for a drive in the FJC to cool off, lol.

i just cleaned the coils on my ac because at the peak of the day it’s not quite keeping up, but it never gets hotter than 78 so I’m happy. the gx is an ice box with 2 sperate ac circuits for front and rear plus an electric condenser fan... trans cooler is too small I’m finding out though.

fyi. i think I’ve revealed my name to many people here but it’s still not a great policy to do so if someone still uses a pysdonym.

thank you for your well wishes. I'm feeling much better. long long road ahead still but optimistic.
