Don't have a pic, but here is a YouTube video of the kit after the install. I've seen his installation video too but can't find it.

To give you an idea of the parts involved and the installation, here is a link to the installation instructions from Mopar.

Hope these help! arty52:

Kitty,
For Cleaning, after wheeling, I use power washer, so hosing it down no problem.
That is where to begin. I prefer to use a bag over the alternator, but heck it's got wet be4.
While washing soap & water on small sponge works wonders/rinse.
Then it is onto drying and fine cleaning detail, using Fantastic or simple green on greasy plastics etc.
Then for the shiny look, Armorall on a small torn off piece of sponge, on most stuff makes it all good again.
It can take 2 hours to do it part by part.

Ya, what Tim said!
Just don't use Armorall on the parts you want to hi-lite with paint.
It won't stick and it's a royal pain in the but to clean that crap off
to get the plastic paint ready!

I wouldn't go crazy with all those chemicals under the hood, harsh chemicals and cleaners won't do wonders for the rubber hoses. I learned that the hard way one night after my upper rad hose split open and the Jeep lost all its coolant. Now I just stick to soap and water.

Ya, I have heard of that happening as well with Armour All.
I prefer 303 products.
I've used it on canoes and kayaks to help them glide through the water.

A much better product.

Hmm, I have the heavy duty shroud and just the electric fan too. No tow package... though I WISH I had the tow package.

As for chemicals in the engine bay, someone mentioned Simply Green... I also use this, but for about everything. It isn't the most powerful cleaner ever, but not nearly as much need to worry about damage. I love it.

I hate you LibertyTC :favorites68:

Before I read your posting it never occurred to me to detail my Liberty's air intake & fan shroud. Now that I have I notice how dirty the rest of my engine is. Now I'll be spending the rest of the summer detailing it!

In Post# 7 Randy you stated:
" Y'know I've never given the stuff under the hood much attention but after seeing those pics I'm now interested in cleaning & detailing the engine bay. Thanks for the idea. "
Now it is you hate me? Ha Ha..got ya doing some detail work now !! (lol)
By the way I like the Red 3.7 and yellow to both Jeep and Fan! Looks Good!
Unfortunately you only have two choices.....
A dirty Jeep = Clean Mind or......

It will only take a few hours to clean under the hood, no promise what happens to your mind though!:smokin:
