59Comanche Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Here's new clip installed with newer fenders as well
ftpiercecracker1 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Is that your radiator sticking down? :hmm:
59Comanche Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Yes I'm going to build a bumper to protect and cover it.
ftpiercecracker1 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Man, that rad sticks out like crazy. How come you didnt have some kind of custom 3 row, all aluminum one built? Actually i think they sell ready made radiators that are capable of cooling the LS1, don't they? Novak maybe? For all the money you are putting into this build i wouldnt think that would have been to far of a stretch would it? EDIT: http://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/cooling/radiators/xj/k-xj11h.htm Ouch, 600 bucks is a good chunk. Do you have any pictures of how you installed your radiator?
terrawombat Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 He didn't install that - the previous owner did. It's just a ZJ radiator stuffed in there, but it doesn't look like it was done correctly. I have a 5.9L stuffed into one of my MJs and I mocked the radiator up in such a way that only about 4-6" of it sticks out from the bottom of the front grille. Also that Novak radiator, although very nice, is more like $720 after shipping.
59Comanche Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 It was done correctly it looks low without a bumper and it cools very well. It will not be an issue once i complete the bumper
terrawombat Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 It shouldn't need to hang down that low. Wish I had a picture of the ZJ rad mocked up in my MJ, but I remember there being a 4-6" overhang past the front header panel.
buffalob Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Man your rig looks killer. Hope my paint comes out as good as yours. Mine is almost the exact same color. can't wait to see it after you get her all buttoned up. Great work man..... but must have more pictures!!!!!!! B.
59Comanche Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I installed a set of 12k HIDs. These things are a great deal for the money
mpace6a Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Got a link for the lights and housings you bought?
59Comanche Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 No sorry i don't. Just go on ebay and search for cherokee 12k h.i.d.s They are somewhere around $64.00 shipped.
