Overhead console

Around 5000rpm in my TJ. I found it during an obstacle course competition at a Great Lakes Four Wheel Drive Assocition event. Came in 1st place too, even with a 2-second penalty. My spare tire carrier has never been the same....

I did not know about the RPM limiter, there is a MPH limiter on the WJs

4.0 liter : 105 mph 4.7 Liter: 114 mph 4.7H.O.: 118 mph

The revs I get, but Wranglers and 85 ????!

In my entire life I cannot imagine going that fast in my TJ At 85 it starts to drift.

***BLUSH*** Yes, I think so....

I don't undestand the question...

In the obstacle course I decided to screw shifting and left it in first gear

4-hi. That's how I found the rev limiter.

Hey now, you are an hour ahead of the world...

Considering that my XJ is box stock basic (speedo and gas gage), I'll take whatever I can get!

Are the computers different between the XJ and the JGC? Does anyone have any idea just how different the vehicles electronics are? It would be neat if I could get that stuff working but not the end of the world if I can't.

It looks like the temp sensor is just a $20 part, so that shouldn't be bad at all.

Actually one of my biggest concerns is how to support the thing.

Ahh, nothing like another challenge

Thanks!

I halfway expected a pushrod to impale the hood, but she still runs ok.

Someone mentioned the XJ limited's had an overhead console. You may well have the factory wiring for that.

I think my WJ uses the same sensor for the computer as it does for the outside temperature thermometer. You may not need another one.

It looks like Advance Auto is listing the same temp sensor for both the XJ and the GC.

It will be interesting what I find when I get into this project, but first I have to get the console (just won one on ebay), and my Jeep back with it's fresh engine later this week.

I can't WAIT to have my little red Cherokee back!

Did you get the XJ or WJ console?

Which features does it have?

It's from a 96 WJ, and to be honest I was looking at two different ones and its not really clear what if anything this one has other than lights. Guess I'll find out!

I remember going down a 3 mile hill on an old ten speed with the really skinny tires. We were coming down the hill from Skyline Drive to Luray, Virginia. Someone yelled, "It's a race", so off we went, zig zagging around cars and each other all the way down that twisty winding two-lane road. Crazy kids...

Ahhmmm, well actually when I put in bid I was thinking it was for a regular Cherokee, and now I've bought it. If worse comes to worse it will be back on eBay soon!
