Bro, what time was that at? I haven't seen those temps in my 8 yet. Then again I am in the office for most of the day. Thank you desk job, no more turn wrenches in the heat for me. Accept for when I work on friends cars. I hope it rains.

We just had 6 inches of rain. A drop every six inches. Typical desert stuff. Though we did get a thunder storm to the South of us here. I took some pics of the dust storm that never made it here. Thank God.

124 - wow. Not envying you a bit.

Have you done any mods b/c of the heat? Like Mazmart water pump, Redline Water Wetter, etc?
