...by tearing the winch and solenoid tower apart and relocating the solenoid & control. With the full solenoid tower, my XJ was starving for airflow at speeds causing the temps to ride. We is all good nowz.

Man, that is a ton of height gone! Nice work!
-
Is it supposed to be a remote solenoid. Or did you just hook it up? {toast}

The winch came with an integrated solenoid tower from the factory and I "redid" it. :) Here is what it looked like before I "redid" it.

very nice. Where did you mount the solenoid?

It's all up under and behind the bumper up near the top plate.

Looks good Chris, where did you put the solenoid? What was your temperature beforehand?
-
Funny thing is that at speeds, it would climb to about 225*. The solenoid is under the front bumper.
-
wow, that looks really good... running at 225 doesn't sound good, should be much better with the relocation.

Holy crap! Mine goes to 210* and sticks there like its taped down. (210 still seems high to me coming from 5 liters though, lol).
-
Mine too
-
210 is where it should be. Mine stays on 210 all the time when warmed up. Krawling, highway, all the same.

I know, it was just weird getting used to seeing 210 and not freaking out when my 5.0s ran much cooler.

i have that feeling to Jimmy, Although mine still goes to about 220. I have a leak though.

Jeep fixed this problem in the JK. The temp gage doesn't have numbers. ;)

They were too cheap to spring for the extra ink. ;D

I'd rather know what that baby is at!
-
Mine stays at 210 even with that powerplant blocking all the air
-
Is it me or does that thing look lower ;D

Nah, just a taller angle. On the last pic, I squatted to take it. PS, so are we in a karma war? I noticed you were -2 yesterday and today you are +8. LOL!

I think it is because of the discount i am working on

The 35s look wider...
-
Probably just an illusion. Although they do look wider. Wheels maybe?
-
Nope, the distance of the camera lens from the front is distorting the perspective. Same wheel and tire width.
