Hello to all, hope this finds ye well. I do a lot of driving in forests. Looking at the beam types below, it seems to me that the wide beam of the fog light would do a better job at illuminating the forest around me (this image is lifted from the PIAA website) - but what do I know ! Anybody got...

I ant to add some additional info to this thread after living with this modification and suffering with it until I got it right. observations: where I cut the metal cooler lines with a grinder, is fine, but there is no flare for the oil hose clamps to bite onto I used mega strong 'bolt head...

Cheers man, I read that thread, lol quite a thread. The Hippopotamus song is very good. So how has it worked out? The pictures of your rad caked in mud has convinced me to add something to shield the rad from the glorious mud ________________________ I have been reading Jeep XJ forums, and...

Mine didn't catch fire. Strange that it didn't catch when I ran the blowtorch over it. Chrome it, galvanise it, both interesting suggestions. I did another two hours grinding it flat with a flap disk, so it's further on now. Gonna stick it on the car tomo and see where I'm at.

cheers bud ) did some more work on it yesterday. Nearly there. Trying to figure out what to paint it with, I'm thinking stone chip might be durable, normal paint just falls off as soon as you impact anything. I built the bumper for shunting things. gonna ask the guys on...

added more metal to the bumper. Gonna use the perforated metal for the radiator as well. Fun.

That's a very interesting device. The top hose on the P38 is 34mm. I am using one of these x-engineering x-fan adapters, and today I bought a new switch for it. This switch turns the fans on at 95°C and turns them off at 90°C The switch I have in it right now comes on at 93 and its wearing...

very correct, and it really looks crap as soon as you start to putting a custom bumper on the thing.

I ran the blowtorch over some transmission fluid, and it didn't catch fire. So I felt safe to cut the transmission cooler lines with a grinder, near the main radiator. I let the lines bleed for a moment to clear away any metal particles. Then I attached the new oil hoses, and refilled the...

Hi all, I am making a bracket to relocate my transmission cooler, becuse .. I want to finish my plate steel bumper, and thats stupid transmission cooler is blocking my view. So now I moved it, and I can see ways forward here is the bracket I'm in the middle of making, good craic this, all...

Both my spares car and my daily driver are 2001

Sound. Will look into one of those so, cant be dealing with that stupid plastic cap.

Is the aluminium oil filter housing a straight swap? Its its not too difficult, I might just do that.

@Grrrrrr good point regarding nanocom , be an expensive mistake. @marjon - lol. So it can happn... It probably will. I'll need to relocate the fan again, c'est la vie. @D2206 the plastic oil filter cap is a nightmare for breaking. I did more work on my trans cooler bracket. I love a bit of...

@RangeRoller dt I'm fitting an all singing all dancing sony double din next month (Sony XAV-AX7000) will sit nicely I think, some P38s had sony units fitted from the factory I have a few gauges to fit as well, trying to think of an ergonomic place to fit the gauges. That's interesting about...

I would like to hear about that mod, its next on my list.

the P38 top hose needs a 34mm adapter and they can be found for peanuts online I fitted an electric fan that operates from a switch like the one above. The fans that Revotec fit the the P38 are 10 amp, 15.2 inch Comex fans, I bought the 20 amp version and fitted that. It has a taller motor...

its an interstinfg solution Mark, I like it more than piercing the hose with one of those lances. few things today. Im relocating the oil cooler, I have a spares car so busy making a bracket for the spare trans cooler I have. I finished the nanocom mounting plate, sprayed it with stonechip...

I see. Right. There is an overtemp alarm on the nanocom, I became confused and thought you could trigger a fan with it. I have a madman EMS3 that can do that. I need to figure out a gauge pod to fit it in.

Thanks for the description DubbleRR. Iveco's fitted with the 2.8 engine sometimes have an engine fan that's activated with an electric clutch. That's a very interesting solution; The power of an engine driven fan, with some control over what it does. Mark Piercy hi, I have a nanocom, I built...
