So I have been making a big deal about wanting to use my A/C while wheeling in the summer so I installed two 7" electric push fans and that cooler is my power steering.

The idea was the electric fans would help the stock electric fan and the clutch fan pulls enough CFM by its self.

I really like that! I may try that on my brothers jeep when I start it!
If that cooler is your ps, where is your trans cooler?

That is my PS cooler
My 97 doesn't have a tow package, so no auxiliary factory cooler.

I will be installing a trans cooler and temp gauge

I have an idea what I am going to do about the cooler

I'll show you when I get it

Couldn't find my shock bolts, had these laying around and the square fits in the bar pin so it won't spin.

Took it out in the snow with a few guys

It did well, the steering loosened up so I still have some work to do. But other then that I was super happy

Got back to Scott's and put a few things on

Terra hand throttle
Manuel high idle and for those long pushes in the snow.

Installed at ZJ gas tank

Scott had one laying around and its 23 gallons


Scott puts 23 gallons in his ZJ from empty and I can only fit 17
So this should be a 6 gallon upgrade

Online says my XJ has a 20 gal tank but I have never been able to get that close.

ZJ one is the cleaner one

Got it all in and was able to save a full 5gal out of my stock tank and put it in the XJ for now. Gave me just under and 1/8th of a tank.

Installed (under driver side)

Under passenger side

Passenger side from rear

It's close but there is a 1/4 inch from the tank to the shield and from the shield to the exhaust
