But I cant wait to do that on the 26 th again.

Chris. I REALLY need to see the places you and Tim went after we went our own ways....that looked like more fun.....
I'm guessing you work with 43people?

yeah they should have heard you when you realized you were stuck I think the 2nd time, you were like o shit oh shit did you get water inside? I'm talking about when Serge was able to pull you out.

so 4.5hrs. I think you need some more practice before the 26th, so you wanna clean mine? I took the doors off today after I washed the engineand radiator but the rest is still like the pics show, I'm hoping the weather man is wrong and we dont get thunder storms/rain

Hey Tom, I believe Serge should have some video of your jeep. I hope he has some good video of all of us.

Its about time and real good timing that they got the part now

Did you wash your jeep?

most of it is good to go. just need to finish getting some of it out of the interior and i am all set. radiator, condenser and fan are all nice and clean.
hey did you take pics before you washed it? pics of the interior all clumped up?

It only took me about 20min to wash my radiator out this time

my interior is SO dusty and I took the doors off yesterday, lastnight I put the top up cuz I knew it was going to rain and I forgot to pull the plugs, well the floors boards were FULL of water, the front can hold about 2-3inches

people definately look at you funny when you are driving a muddy jeep with now doors, top up and its raining

Well my fan took a crapper today, driving home from work overheat came on, opps I forgot to looks to see if I was running hot

open hood and fan is going so slow its almost going backwards, I fiddled with the wires at the motor and it came back on but not on high. So I may just get a B&M and rig it up so I can shut it off when I find mud

Is this a common thing with the new Wranglers? It just seems like so many of you have had overheating problems, I don't understand why. I'm on my second 2004-2006 Unlimited, one auto and one 6 speed, and I've never had one overheat. I've been beating the crap out of my CJ for 22 years, and it's only overheated once - last year when a 15 year old fan motor gave up. Do lots of guys have this problem, or are you guys just hitting that black Piney mud a little too fast?

i'm going to see if i can track will down for directions on how to wire up a switch. i revived a thread in the write-ups where someone (SCF?) knew how to make a switch for on, off and normal operating.

yeah I gotta figure something out, I am going to take it apart tomorrow, It may be from when I washed it down yesterday, I will take plug aprt make sure its dry and no corrosion then put some dielectric grease on it. It was fine till I washed it yesterday.

The older Wrangler models have mechanical fan, the JK has electric, thats the problem.
