I just rebuilt knuckles and brakes. Hoping once the brakes seat a little the temps will go down.fj60 next to it just sitting all day temps were 113.
My initial thought is that would be about right given heat transfer from brake rotors if there's any reasonable amount of stopping before someone parks their rig, especially on a hot day.Remember that water boils at 220 and your chicken sandwich is supposed to be cooked to 165. A metal surface at 160 degrees on a very hot is not that hot. You can touch a grill when it’s 160 without damaging your skin.
The question I have still stands, what do you measure on a normal basis? What temps are other drivers getting?
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think that’s excessive for the conditions described.
Today I measured it as it sat overnight,In 107 degrees in the sun they measured 127 degrees and I did not want to hold my hand on them. As I’ve said the cruiser had not been driven since the following day. So far the cruiser has about 30 miles on it.
