I don't know about the later ZJ's, but I don't know how much more open the engine bay can get. Maybe on the later ZJ's and WJ's it's more sealed, but I've been under mine too many times. There's really not much there. Although you guys don't have much place for air to come in. We've got 2 grilles apposed to one, and the grille openings are wider. But you'd think that an open engine bay would be able to pull more air into the radiator. You're guys' aero much worse too, and the weight difference isn't much between the two. Maybe Jeep should have thought about the cooling system better? Just because the ZJ is larger doesn't mean it needs to be cooled more.
