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.

No but you can can actually tow. I think 4.0 ZJs have a 5k limit? And all thats using the same running hardware as some TJs.
Pics of a TJs rad. I used my shoe as an informal scale. My boot is around 14" long, the rad I believe is 19.5" wide and ~24" tall
Engine bay. Not a whole lot of directed flow, the PS pump and the alt kinda block the view but if you look straight down its all open. The bay is the full length of the 4.0. The firewall starts at the bellhousing so its a good 3-4ft long and about 4 ft or so wide.
