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...
