Well its been a few weeks since my last update. I got my heep washed, polished and detailed. Turned my heep into a shiny JEEP!
Also cleaned out my cargo area since I still had all my tools in there from the last job site I was able to work at.

Also I replaced my Electric radiator cooling fan with one from a taurus since the last XJ in the junk yard already had it removed.... the new E-fan shroud was hitting the mechanical fan and stopped it from spinning. It caused the motor to over heat. I moved the e-fan over a few inches with zip ties. Also had to refill the radiator since the fluid boiled over... the fluid also shorted out the e-fan I had just put in there.

But the cooling system is working correctly for the time being. Now I'm just looking for a replacement XJ E-fan

Well time for an update. I entered my XJ into a annual Car Show. Ended up being one of only two Jeeps there and won an Award for Excellence.
Here are the pictures from the show...









I also entered into a raffle and won a detailing kit.
So I left with a glass award, detailing kit, nasty sunburn, and some ideas for the next show I enter in on the 28th.

does your hood not hit your windshield wiper arm when you lift it that high?

RangerWeaver

Gets close but never does

Well check you out, Mr. Boyscout! I recognize that Arrow of Light sash anywhere.

So where ya gonna put the new CB at now that you have the ZJ console? I just relo'd my CB up there myself (haven't posted the update in my thread yet) but also considering the ZJ console myself... I'm kind of a stowage *****.

Actually when I got the console I decided to put it on the passenger side of the shifter console. But since then I ended up with an awesome find at the salvage yard. I found a 2000 XJ Classic that had an overhead console. Pulled that and the wire harness for it for $20.00 .I have since installed that and plugged it in. Just need to reset the built in odometer, clock, and get the outdoor temp system setup.

Basslicks

That's cool... still have the ZJ console? I might scoop it from you.

RangerWeaver

Yup I still have it and most of the wire harness for it

Basslicks

How much ya wantin' for it? You can PM me a price if you don't wanna put it out in the open.

RangerWeaver

Welp looks like I need a replacement master control switch panel for the drivers door. I puled mine since it wasn't working. Pulled it apart to find out that the switches are actually burnt. hoping to find a master control in the salvage yard.

Figure out your coolant level problem yet?

RangerWeaver

Haven't a clue where its going. The heads not cracked... there is no coolant in the oil or vise versa. And reading the trouble shooting instructions on my AUX cooling fan I found out that the fan is set to turn on at 160* by the factory.
I really need to figure out which wire is the power for my A/C clutch. If I can figure that out I can get it turned on with the A/C then.

What I think might be happening though is that the temp is getting hot enough to evap the coolant from the over flow tank.

I also need to find some ideas of how to wire the AUX e-fan to the battery and a switch to turn it on.
