so do the earlier JK's. But it is inadequate for too many scenarios. (stop/go traffic, wheeling in 4-hi, sand)
Lot's of folks put on auxilliary coolers.
Others just use a temp gauge and wheel in 4-lo when called for and seem to avoid the problem that way.

seriously!
Is OP's model the one that came with the transmission "skid bar" and not the skid plate?
Smanenti, do you have a skid plate or just bar? if your build sheet says plate and you got a bar, there was a post by someone who fought that and got the plate.

The sales manager calls me into his office with a broken cv axle on his desk and tells me the celica has obviously been abused. I said " I couldn't agree more, definitely major abuse" and his jaw nearly fell off. I then calmly as I could explained the odo issue and he quickly changed his tone and tried to smooth it over as best he could. A little less than a year later the engine spun a bearing on the turnpike while accelerating behind an eighteen wheeler. The dealer replaced the engine without a word. Thankfully it was a lease and I was rid of that ticking timebomb shortly after.
