I live in henderson. Hey, anyone had any overheating problems with their XJ's? I read somewhere that they don't do desert very well. I have an 87 but I have never driven it. I am ready to start working on it and I wanted to know if I need to upgrade the radiator or not.

i have had my 95' for a while and have not had any problems. but what i did do is wire a switch to the electric fan relay. you can keep the fan on when on the trail. it will keep the temp down very well.

but i have know others that did, as you know its hot as F*&k out here. when im wheelin its normally like 112*.
You still have the old system with that weird perssurized bottle, and no cap on the radiator? (those bottle explode sometimes)
you can swap it for the newer 96-97+ stuff pretty easy theres a few 97's and 00's at pic-a part on boulder. cooling ststems intact. grab it all.

Thanks
Thanks for the info. I'm probably going to join the Nevada Backroaders club. They are more into scenic driving which is what I like. I am not into damage and danger.

got the jeep fixed...
hi sorry didnt get this message on time, sorry...it has been taken care of, thankfully because hubby said it lost alot of oil one day while he was at work and was smoking alot more than normal...so that day we went to his buddy's apt. w/ the supplies and got it done...hasnt leaked that we have noticed...so thats a good sign...although we had to get the cork style gasket due to low funds, well keep an eye on the oil leaks more often since our friend said they tend to break or weaken soon...thank you for all and any help this forum gave us...we really appreciate it! if we need assistance again i know where to come back
