Check out go jeeps website. He has lots of info.

Keen to see the results. I've been reading this thread with interest. My XJ dosent have an overheating problem, but I'm unable to unhook the bonnet latch when it's running due to the heat. I need to use a stick....or I'll burn my hands.

I'm thinking about putting in the wedges to lift the rear edge of the bonnet. Easy, simple and effective.

You could always do something like this....

Think he's talking about the safety catch JJ because I have the same problem.

Yeah I'm doing the same thing but using update XJ's because there more like or the same as ZJ compared to pre-update

With the struts fitted it lifts the bonnet a little more to make it easier to get to the catch but I always found the worse part was actually holding the hot bonnet to lift it up high enough to get the strut fitted, those a things of the past...

These struts are Zg units...

That's a LOTTA louvers.

I notice the first two sets are oriented for extraction..... and the rear set for forced induction????
That would certainly let out a lot of heat....
