Safety Feature
 
Yesterday I was working on motor and a paper towel caught in the fan blade (Yes it was running). Today I painted the tips red so they would show especially since they are open to touch. Not that any of us would put our hand in there, someone else may not know its spinning and get cut. You can see it spinning now. Nerd or NO?

No clue it even had one. Was not one on there when I got it so I didn't know it came with one. O'well "I" needed it done.

You know these XJ's should have their cooling systems running at 110% efficiency,right? You really should get a shroud as it concentrates air flow. And they're cheap to.

X2

The other safety bit would be don't put yer digits anywhere near the moving bits when it's running, just sayin'

Oh, and you can get em even cheaper at PNP

If you're talking Pick & Pull They don't have one in Houston. I WILL order one. Briefly meeting the PO and where the Jeep came from, I am sure it was just to much trouble to put it back on when they took it off. Or, they couldn't figure out where it went. :gun_bandana:

That's a clean lookin' engine! I like the idea

Yeah, you definitely need your fan shroud, but I do kinda like the the painted fan tips :)
Kinda reminds me of a WWII fighter plane lol

Sandyman Sep 29, 2015 06:33 PM

That is exactly where I got the idea
