Got the back carpet reintalled and dried out. Still drying out the driver side...I must have sucked out 5 gallons of water with the shop vac....
Found some kinda electronic thing that I think was part of a cb at some point...not sure. Its full of water so it don't matter lol

Still waiting on the drivers side to dry out a bit more before I finish putting it back toge ther

 

carpets dry but still stinks.....

i think i toasted my fan clutch in the water too... she getting hot when im at idle now. but driving around shes fine. aux fan still kicks on...sooooo i think ill be swapping my taurus fan in very soon....my bdays coming up and i think im gonna get some tow hooks out of my dad lol

..and ive still got my whole exhaust to in tall

 

and for those of you who care to know the story behind my xj's name.......... http://www.damnlol.com/scarlett-joha...-all-8570.html ....................that is all

 

When your jeep is cool spin the fan by hand.. If it spins excessively then the clutch is bad. You should hear it when you come from a stop pushing air. On a past jeep of mine the thing was so bad that when I put the new one in it took some getting used to actually hearing it work.

 

yea the clutch wat spinning in the water for a couple hoursso i think the the extra strain killed it..ill check it in the morning

 

Haha a couple HOURS. Yes that will do it that's for sure.

I thought about going with the efan.. But how do you regulate it? The motor dictates the manual fan and keeps everything balanced.. So how would you get that result with the efan?

 

ive had one of these for ilk 2 years still in the box http://www.dccontrol.com/relay_controllers.htm

its built specificly for non taurus uses of the taurus fan
it ties in to the ac clutch line to kick it in high as long as its engaged
other wise it kick on low at the temp you set it at

its adjustable andits got a temp sensor you wedge into the radiator

 

That's really cool, I had no idea. Thanks for that info maybe I'll do it after all..

 

yea the controlor was 80$ i think and the fan was 20 at the junk yard

 

Pulled this thing from under the back seat...no clue what it is

 

Do you have the infinity gold sound system? Could be the stock amplifier for the speakers...

It's either that or the acceleration sensor for the abs system if your jeep has abs..

 

Better picture? My guess is a factory amp.

 

I don't have either O.o...

 

Idk lol

 

No real updates today but I thougbt I'd mention that I was reading up on strokers and I'm really itching to build one.....lol

I also thought I'd explain my obejective for this build:

1. Have a capable offroad rig and daily driver
2. Keep gas milage at in the 16 to 20mpg range
3. Have a great performance curve.
4. Keep fab work to a minimum
5. Try to keep costs down as much as I can
