Cool video. I'm not really good at rock crawling but I do miss driving off-road.

Use plain water. Better heat transfer, and it'll keep you alive waiting for the recovery vehicle. :crazy:

I was thinking just thinning the mix out a bit, nothing crazy maybe 60 distilled/ 40 ethylene glycol.
Then add Redline water wetter to reduce cavitation.

In preparation for my move to Florida:
On my 11 Xterra the radiator is original but belts + hoses and T stat are new.
On my Pathy New belts/hoses plus new Griffin radiator and new OEM Tstat plus AC freshly recharged.

I say to the heat, Bring it on!

I know , I know.. :)
But I still wanted to run my plan by you for increasing cooling efficiency.
