Just saying but the stock jeep only weights 3000-4000lbs, what have you added that totals almost a literal ton of weight?

There is a thread on pirate where the guy takes the main support out and fits a taller radiator by mounting it at an angle of about 30-45 degrees.

Are you sure the gauge is accurate, have you tried checking with a temp gun, I know at the shop I work at the stock gauges sometimes aren't right.

I hope the gauge isn't accurate. That's way too cold.

Meh, an OEM XJ should run at 210 pretty consistently. I prefer for them to run at the temp they were designed for.
