Darren Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 So I opened up my hood today and noticed a crack in the radiator hose at the themostat. $7 to replace it. Hmmmmm, I have a better idea. Soon after that............................... Plans include open cooling swap with the Taurus fan. I should probably also upgrade the headlight harness while the engine bay is so open. But my plan is to be done with this by Wednesday. We'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reson46 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 No more baby bottle! :clapping: What are your winch plans? Most likely in front of the cross member? Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 So I did as much as I could today, got a few more things ready. Tomorrow I'll make a run to Napa to get all the parts I think I'll need. What did I get myself into. :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 What are your winch plans? Most likely in front of the cross member? Willy That's where I'd like to put it. But as of right now the winch will be a garage ornament for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPB Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Did some wheeling with the infamous "Battleground Boys" yesterday. Nothing real technical just FS roads up passed Sunset Falls. At the top by the lake there where still patches of snow that made for very sloppy muddy trails in spots. Overall it was a good time. Now its time to go wash my truck. What mall was this at??? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 I've got the open coolant system in place except I haven't mocked up a overflow bottle yet. As far as the Taurus fan goes, I had some clearance issues so I moved the radiator 1" forward. I still have some more trimming to do on the fan shroud, as well as some mounting brackets. Then all the wiring. Plus I still have to figure out a serpentine belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up one of those cheap overflow bottles at the parts store, mounted it where the old pressure bottle was, and routed a hose from the radiator to it. What do you need to figure out with the belt? Are you changing the configuration of your pulleys? Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 What do you need to figure out with the belt? Are you changing the configuration of your pulleys? Willy I'm ditching the mechanical fan. So my new belt will be quite a bit shorter without that pulley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 OK, I'll admit it, I'm a kitty. I'm throwing my mechanical fan back on. I butchered the Taurus fan. How in the hell did anyone ever get that thing to fit. Maybe I'm just a dumdum. :doh: But hey now I have open cooling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 So my cooling swap is finally done. I'll post up some pics tomorrow. Does anyone have a spare fan shroud? I may or may not have destroyed mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 I finally got up off my @$$ on put some hood vents in. Anyone remember how I laid the all the vents on the hood and had a poll up? Well I didn't end up going with any of those ideas. And a view from the drivers seat. (Damn my phone takes good pictures.) I'm real happy with the way they turned out. Open cooling and some super sexy hoodvents, I'm even cooler now. (I'm talking about me, not my motor temp.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 What are those vents from? Willy The vents are from the junkyard. They were on a rx-7, but it was obvious that wasn't their original home. I've been told Trans Am, but honestly I have no idea. Anyway, I was so bored today that I just started walking around my Jeep looking for things to do. So I mounted my high-lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 never thought of mounting it there. good idea :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reson46 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 How did you attach it? Is it pretty quick to pull off? I've been contemplating some type of mount that is easy to remove the jack from and incorporates some type of lock. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work very well and have holes drilled for locks. Here is where mine is. VERY handy!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 I got an ipod from my brother-in-law today! For free!! The point of the story is I have an ipod plug wired into the center console of my Jeep, and I didn't even have an ipod. (came with a deck I bought on craigslist.) Pics later.
