What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

[marshal]

Picked up a set of nearly free AEV shock shifter brackets and a Rigid SR20. Have a wheeling trip planned for the weekend of the 20th

I think this is how it goes right?

I've resorting to welding everything I don't feel like bolting on

Pulled the tabs out of the harness, need to put spades on for the SPOD. It shares a common ground so we gotsta hack it off

New ends

Running

Thats awesome but it looks like you have a few hundred dollars of light bar as your front bumper.... You may want to rethink that, just saying...

Not concerned with it, I don't really have a bumper to begin with. If I get into a front end collision more than 1 thing is going to be messed up, and I don't really have any other place to mount it. I don't run a rear bumper as it is, and i use a body mounted tire carrier so if I get hit there my jeep will more than likely be totaled.

I live dangerously.

Picked up a shorty spade shovel and FINALLY got a spout for the Scepter Gas Cans I have. Now I can actually use them! lol Might mount the shovel on the trailer... haven't decided yet?

About to go out and install my CB finally. Pretty easy install, the tuning part, that will be interesting. Built in SWR meter so it is supposed to be reasonably easy to tune this one in. Internet search don't fail me now!!

Got my Hi-Lift and 4 gallon RotoPax mounted onto my trailer-hitch spare tire carrier.



There's juuuust enough room to close and secure the hitch, as well as open my rear glass without hitting anything!

Very well. I like the way you roll...

 

[VanIsle_Greg]

Did this... Quick Fist Clamps and a cheapie shovel just in case.





Also picked up a Scepter spout for the Scepter Gas Can's I have so I can actually use them now! Finally... some piece of mind on the trail.



Still need to work on the CB install once the kids are crashed!

Went back over a bunch of rushed wiring and made it right. Crimped, soldered, shrink wrapped and fused. Headlights and electric fan.
Also put some WJ lower control arms in my XJ. Much nicer ride owing to larger bushings.

Ordered some new 4" round tail lights:

Tried out the new combination of MTR Kevlar shoes, mechanical fan retrofit, and MOPAR auxiliary transmission cooler over the long weekend camping in the Carpenter Lake area, British Columbia.

No more flat tires and much more reasonable engine intake and transmission temps on the climb up from Pemberton along the Hurley FSR. Love the reassuring new sound of when the thermal clutch engages the fan.

You have a write up on the retrofit?

 

[mmaattppoo]

Sure thing Marshall. I found this post on Jeepforum: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f96/oem-mechanical-fan-retrofit-1378143/

All part numbers (including pictures) are available in the above linked post.

Note: the complete auxiliary fan assembly is not readily available: however, assuming your existing OEM fan is in decent shape you can disassemble it and reuse the fan and motor. All you need is the mounting bracket.

There's not a lot of detail out there regarding the installation process but it's about a 2 hr job. One comment I would make is make sure you have all the fasteners before starting the job. I made the incorrect assumption that the parts came with the necessary screws. You do reuse the existing fasteners but you need several more to attach the new electric fan bracket.

Hope that helps.

Retro Clutch Fan Install

2011 JK Rubicon Converted over to the Mid-East Cooling Package... Electric AND a clutch fan!



Better cooling and the cost is WAY less than a vented hood! :wings:

Dig it! :victory:

Lightened it up a little from my last camping trip.



I see some grinding and welding in my future.

Wrapping up my Taurus fan install tonight after my third half day.
Full custom wiring loom including maxi blade fuses in the PDC, low speed on with ignition and high speed on with PCM or manual switch triggers incorporating extended idle + stock XJ fan.
I cut the Taurus fan shroud down and mounted it to the modified stock shroud.

I plan to add a new high speed switch and a kill switch with indicator LEDs later on too and will share a write up once this is done and bedded in
