His is the body style before that one. Don't know what if anything carried over. If it's cheap enough, get it, fix it, and abuse it proper.

I keep making up things to fix and replace so I can borrow rigs from you and Jon. I just miss driving a lifted XJ :ROFL:

I hear fan replacement is the way to go if you want to see a significant temp drop.

well it usually runs fine but it sat out in the blazing sun on a freshly paved driveway all day so I feel it may have just seemed hotter cause that.

I for one thought the ones you showed were too much.

I was looking at those about a week ago while I was at work. Then I saw the price. Not worth it to me when I can get something from the JY that works just as well, but if you like the look, go for it.

My jeep stays around 210-215. Only goes up when I'm sitting still in traffic for a period of time. Even when wheeling all day. I did hook my electric fan to a switch so I can turn it on when ever it gets to hot.
