Re: 95 XJ rocker panels
Cut out is for the door pillar post, if you look at yours you'll see the
rocker goes around it.

Re: 95 XJ rocker panels
My son just changed my pump out for me and back flushed my heater core.
While I had the rad out, I welded up a metal strap down the side of my
radiator where I snapped it in half and removed a couple end cores that
were stretched beyond fixing so now have really nice heat again and
hopefully a rad that will hold.
I gotta take her up the 400 highway where it is safe for a high speed
run to see if the new pump will keep her cool above 75 mph or 120 kph.
I will take her out of the slow lane and maybe keep along in the middle
lane at 80 or 140 or so for a while to see. :-) The fast lane is too
insane for a CJ....
If we can set up a date, I can let the rest of the local RAMJ+W folks
know. A bunch will likely show up for moral support if nothing else or
a general fixit party.

Re: 95 XJ rocker panels
My son just changed my pump out for me and back flushed my heater core.
While I had the rad out, I welded up a metal strap down the side of my
radiator where I snapped it in half and removed a couple end cores that
were stretched beyond fixing so now have really nice heat again and
hopefully a rad that will hold.
I gotta take her up the 400 highway where it is safe for a high speed
run to see if the new pump will keep her cool above 75 mph or 120 kph.
I will take her out of the slow lane and maybe keep along in the middle
lane at 80 or 140 or so for a while to see. :-) The fast lane is too
insane for a CJ....
If we can set up a date, I can let the rest of the local RAMJ+W folks
know. A bunch will likely show up for moral support if nothing else or
a general fixit party.
