August! 8/2/15! Sorry about that

It'll be good on Sunday, if that helps at all. We are meeting at the Estacada Ranger Station at 9:30

Trying to setup some good times and trails for Sunday!:patriot:

I won't be able to make it:( I'll be down in North Bend visiting a buddy down there for New Years. If anything changes though, I'd go. If not, then have a good run guys!:patriot:

Here's a link to some pics from previous years of XJ's doing it. http://www.ttcw.org/results/2009/cp5_pictures.htm Pages 5,6, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 ,47 http://www.ttcw.org/results/2009/cp6_pictures.htm Pages 1, 2, 6, 7 http://www.ttcw.org/results/2009/cp4_pictures.htm Page 2...

I just read their site, a team consists of 2 vehicles and 2 people per vehicle, so 4 people and 2 trucks. That's awesome. I'm sure we could figure something out. I know my rig is to small but it sounds sweet, especially these parts: Roll Cage or Hard Top (Roll Cage Strongly Recommended!)...

Bleeder screw? Any certain brand? I've never heard of it on a t-stat

They actually hooked me up with two fan controllers for the triple fan kit, and it seems to blow a heck of a lot of air through. It enough that it'll suck a peice of paper to the grill of the XJ. lol

The radiator is the original renix style but I added the newer upper radiator hose and inserted a radiator filler tee into the upper hose. The t-stat is a stock style t-stat, but I was thinking of getting a Robert Shaw or Stewart/Shaw (a modified Robert Shaw t-stat). So you're saying that the...

Oh and before you asked, I did retorque the bolts. lol Also I have a Stant SuperStat t-stat. If this is the prob, I'm going to get a Robert Shaw but what do you guys think?

Thanks for the replies guys! This is my second new radiator cap so I'm guessing this isn't it. When I did the head gasket, I had to take 14 thousands machined off the head to make it flat. I didn't use new head bolts because these all looked brand new, plus none of them had any paint on...

Yeah, I burp the system every time I add coolant. I added a newer t-stat housing with the sensor, which I use as a burping method. And I also have the coolant back flush tee in there that I burp from as well, so I know that it gets burped good. I even squeeze the lower radiator hose to pump...

I was told that the head gasket was probably blown so I changed it out, when I inspected the old one, it seemed perfect. The hottest the motor ever got was the line after the middle line on the gauge. The radiator cap? Its a brand new Stant iirc.

No, is there a tool/gadget that can check that?

I have an '87 XJ Wagoneer with the 4.0, NP242, AW4, 30" tires and 3.55 gears for starters. I have updated the cooling system to the newer open cooling system. During that update I installed a newer style heater control valve, radiator filler neck, all-aluminum radiator, 16lb radiator cap...

I have the TnT stiffeners on my XJ and it did make a huge difference. It is true that the 3/16" is a little thick to weld to our thin unibodies but it did do the job. I'd recommend the HD ones just because of the ease of the welding application.

I'm glad that it sounds like she's starting to pull through it! I'm sure she will and tell her that my family's prayers are with you guys as well. If you guys need anything, let me know.

Yeah I'd LOVE to get one, I just can't afford the membership right now. Is there any "red members" that would be willing to take a PayPal, or something?

That's about as rad as rad can get! I would definitely need an exernal heater for my cab! That was the first thought after seeing those pics. I wish I could be retired and doing all this stuff already.

I live out in Estacada, I'll keep an out here. There are a TON of XJ's out here, and a lot of people drive thru Gresham from here, so I'll keep my eyes open and new hard bumper ready for him. I'm glad that you guys are feeling better! If you need anything, please let us know. And from a...
