Yes, normal it is. Makes sense however, it does not... at least to me (yet). I don't care about "quieting" the e-fan, especially if it's needed, but I'd like to eliminate the obvious power drain just from pushing heat at the inside of my windshield.

On my '99 the auxiliary fan runs continuously with the AC compressor. It ONLY cycles on and off to maintain that ~213* threshold (low speed &/or hot weather) if and only if neither the AC nor defrost are running. It used to stick on occasionally, even after shutdown (draining the battery...

I'm just about to try this, in the next couple weeks, having shot old leafs, and new Crown HD's ready to install. Been debating OME AAL's, shackles, and/or trying to bastardize using leafs from the old springs. Currently sagging a bit from stock height (empty), but need to haul heavy loads and...

Different, in this case, means harsher?

Are there more differences than the striker? My 99's doors are all disintegrating (especially front passenger) and I've looked around for skin options. Everything I've found are spec'd for pre-97, but I'm not sure what the difference(s) is/are. Probably like the OP, I'd love a deeper...

Is there no kit option for the rear bumper?

Hoping not to hijack this thread any further, as I'm looking forward to the OP's progress with interest but... That's funny, as I have the '99 XJ (nearly stock, yet) and she has the '99 XC70. I love my Jeep, but on long highway trips... yes, we take her Volvo - especially if I hope to not do...

I was wondering only the other day what percentage of NAXJA folks have A/C, or leave it in place long term. I had my A/C restored only a couple years ago, and have used it (highway driving, with a dog) but... occasionally contemplate opening up that space under the hood.
