Haha it was actually on the truck when I bought it. It got lost in my storage unit and I found it when moving out. Cleaned it up and threw it on just to see, and I loved the look.

eaglescout526 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Lol. They’re honestly not a bad look to the XJ and MJ. I liked mine for the time I had it on but now it would look odd with my brush guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough, my parents neighbor has an MJ. Ive offered to buy it off him just to add another to the stable. Its a short box 4.0 4x4. Everything I was looking for initially.

70barracuda Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Got some stuff changed up over winter. I'm very very picky with my wiring and decided I wasn't happy with it. So I upgraded everything to 2 gauge and redid the whole 'fuse' area. Very happy with how it all came out. Changed to the Holley mid mount set up for the accessory drive. Cleaned up the whole front of the engine area. New radiator that is mounted and fits way better with more room now. Also changed over the electric Volvo power steering pump. Really nice unit and got a controller that allows me to control the speed of the pump. Much less twitchy at highway now. Overall pretty happy with how everything turned out.

Both options are pretty simple to setup, just trying to decide which is the better route for feel/daily driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using a controller to regulate pressure so you can make it as easy or heavy as you want. Personally I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a good option if it is a simple cost effective setup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70barracuda Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Battling intake temps once again, so now I'm really gonna try and do an actual cold air intake. Made some room by putting the battery in the bed. Really not bad, just a ton of wiring but that's my favourite so didn't mind at all. 14.5 volts steady at idle and driving and the Holley is happy so I think I'm good. All that room now has me thinking though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghetdjc320 Posted yesterday at 06:52 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:52 AM How is that radiator/fan setup doing for operating temps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highway driving it never gets above 190 and in traffic and stopped it gets to 205, fan kicks on, and back down to 190 in less than 2 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
