This weekend, seats... coming up better motor mounts to reduce vibration, an inline fuel pump to help smooth out lower rpm operation, cruise control and finish up the a/c setup... almost done... Today, swapped out the cloth WJ seats I had installed in my '91 Grand Wagoneer, installed heated leather seats... not tan, and not the top of the line, but nicer... provided detailed pictures of where to drill and what wires to connect: http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/Omega/Leather_WJ_seats-5-July-2008/ john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://wagoneers.com john's 6.2L GW: http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/Omega/ SAVE FUEL use AMSOIL Synthetics: http://wagoneers.com/AMSOIL - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:45:13 -0500 From: Colucci B Subject: xj: Imperial Storm Trooper Sighted Greetings To The XJ World! And so my adventures with the new 92 XJ continue. My wife says its name is going to be Storm Trooper, since every time she looks at it, it reminds her of an an Imperial Storm Trooper, all of the white plastic armor with black accents. You can check it out for yourself on John's site: http://wagoneers.com/XJ/rigs/BrianColucci-92-XJ/ALL.html Keep in mind I have a crummy little digital camera, but you will get the basic idea. Now for my latest adventure. I was driving in town today with the AC cranked and the outside temp hovering around 90, when I looked down to see the temp gauge between the white line that comes after the 210 indicator and that thick red line just before 280. Yikes! I have not owned an XJ new enough in the past to have the "real" radiator / cooling system. I always had one of those with the funky French plumbing on it and no radiator cap. Do these run really hot? Somehow I would think, NO. So is my radiator shot? Any thoughts let me know! Until the next dimension, The Admiral ------------------------------ End of xj-digest V1 #2825 *************************
