Just saw that Dirt Lifestyle Nate posted on youtube that he's leaving youtube and social media for a while... No reason why or when he'll be back.

Derale 6" fans are rated for 400 cfm each... 800-1200 cfm through a stacked plate cooler I'm guessing will do a helluva lot more than the stock setup. I have thought of toying with other higher performance electric fans - esp since I have some around. The fan from my mustang (2013 gt with a...

3.73s and 30" tires. :sad1: Soon to go all crazy to 31s :D So to recap, I'll be doing a thicker/nicer/aluminum end caps radiator; put the ZJ clutch on with the stock derp-a-derp 2+3 blade fan, and look for a long and thin plate style oil cooler for the tranny to move that out of there...

Yep, e fan works ok, comes on with AC or by itself. Does suck with the room in there... 2001 and yes, i have pre-cats. The head that came on it wasn't a TUPY one and I thought the overheating and the oil pressure was the head, but after seeing how filthy and sludgy it was, I'm not sure it...

Those are on the list down the road as well. :) No plastic fans with more than 5 blades out there that fit the XJ - or no one tried the GM or explorer plastic fans?

My XJ is running a bit hot - I'm in Arizona, and when it hits 117, it's not fun... And yes, I know everyone will say the stock cooling system is adequate if everything in the world aligns properly; but the fact of the matter is, the jeep was really neglected before I got it, and before I go with...

I got ya, but i'm not looking for massive power. I'm mainly looking to maintain that 200hp/300tq that a stroker would make but when it's up at high altitude - something n/a motors don't do well at all. Basically I'm gonna be pulling something between this...

Yeah, not a lot of water to go through here in the desert... If I lived in MN still I would definitely not even consider it. It would hang maybe an inch or so lower than the muffler or cat. The wheeling will be reserved to areas where a camper with flipped axles can get to; so no crazy rock...

Agreed - that all-gears dyno is quite silly... lol. It's good to see that dyno too, that's right up with what I wanna do; very nice torque curve. :)

From my research, the 4.0 can be tuned with the SCT software so that shouldn't be a problem; the guy I used for my mustang can probably tune a bicycle if it's got an obd2 port ;). I'm not looking to tow very heavy - I have my dually for that... The campers I'm looking at, range from teardrops...

My thoughts exactly. The 8.8 axle is almost ready to go in and that will help with the braking part - going from drums to disc - though the trailer will have its own brakes as well. RCP, I saw your thread, I'm sorry, your dyno sheets make no sense. Why on earth they would go through the...

It seems with electric fans it's always a tradeoff, and one very hard to achieve with 10" diameter fans... I have a couple of 12" SPAL fans that were bought for a different project and they are thick... would not fit anywhere that well even if I did fab up a shroud to make them fit onto the...

That's at the wheels? or crank? And which stroker kit did you go with? I'm a bit worried about the towing part - towing at high altitude with anything N/A seems to be an exercise in futility... :)

Here's my situation. My XJ is kind of a toy, but I want it to do a bit more than that - I like camping and while I have a giant toy hauler and a dually, I want to be able to camp where most normal people can't get to... So the goal is to have my XJ (01, 3" lift, 31s, soon to have an 8.8...

Every V8 out there has intake on the inside along with the pushrods, and exhaust on the other/out side... well, except my powerstroke, that's backasswards. Good point, forgot about AMC... And yeah, fuel heat up was my original thought too... but you gotta say, from the early 90s till 2006...
