Ive got an origional horn you can have if u pay for postsge will check if it works ?

[ScottieJ]

not my type of thing really i know the exhaust gets hot but i think it could just eventually hold water possbily and damp in cold mornings i dont know just personal choice.

Ye true but I just want to cool my engine bay a little as it gets really hot when out greenlaning

As in Hot on the temp gauge? If the rad is clean and cooling system is in good nick then it shouldn't get hot, especially with a stock fan and shroud fitted. I presume you have checked the water level hasn't gone down? is the thermostat opening fully at the correct temp?
I agree with Tom, when it comes to an offroader that is used in wet environments exhaust wrap isn't really a good idea, it will hold water in and corrode your exhaust at a faster rate than normal.

The temp gauge is at a good level its just the engine bay gets hot around the manafold erea i nearly cracked open a egg and put it on my bonnet as it was getting a bit hot lol

How hot is hot, your only out pottering about greenlaning at most, sj engine will survive on no water and hot on gauge. Probably due to all that exhaust manifold pipework filling engine bay and not heat absorbing cast iron lump you had originally. If you want to lose some heat cut some holes in your bonnet.

Well It wasn't too bad it has gone hotter in.my engine bay as I have put my Janspeed exshaust on

But I might take the heat wrap of as I don't.want it to trap any water underneath it and rust

A little update I got bored today and a bit yesterday so I built a little box to go in my boot and tad dah stop everything rolling around in the back when going offroading

I'm well pleases with it I might get some fabric to go over it some thing like speaker fabric or some black thin carpet but I havnt really decided yet so that's that

[turbo-tom]

good radios they are! my father has one!, looks good i would either paint it or plate it as carpet holds moisture

[dazerede]

Ye them radios are good

Ye the box is made out of ply wood so it is nice a strong and it should last a long time

I was thinking of covering it in spaeker fabric just to cover up the gaps I made by not measuring properly

Finally an SJ with a cat...
