Cripes. Wednesday it was 88 F outside. This morning? 40 F. "Welcome to Iowa. If you dont like the weather, just wait a minute."
We had that Wednesday and yesterday...Wednesday, we set a record for high (93F!). Thursday? 55F. :swear:

For you weirdos not using freedom units, that's ~34C to 13C overnight. :sun::rain::tumbleweed::lipssealed:

Einstein's desk the day after he passed...

Wonder where he hid his whiskey.

Not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but it looks like your fog lights are installed upside down...

Looks great otherwise! :like:

Clutch hydraulic systems (at least the ones I’ve owned) use brake fluid, but Wrangler’s is interconnected? That means if there is a leak in either system, the combined master cylinder empties and you loose clutch AND brakes?
Yeah it's a bit weird... The reservoir has a baffle in it that separates the two chambers... thus, if the clutch fluid runs down, it won't drain from the brakes passed a certain point.

Brake fluid makes sense - it's a high pressure, high heat hydraulic oil. It's probably WAY overqualified for clutch work.

How does such an interconnected system work? If one slave cylinder can cause another to fail, what's to stop my clutch actuating when I hit the brakes, or for my brakes to actuate when I shift gears?

I don't expect answers, but would love to see how this system is set up, schematically speaking. :movember:

But then how can air get in from one system to the other?
