Is anyone planning on towing in HOT weather with an inline thermostat? If so, please post your findings. My only concern with this mod is flow restriction at 100% system cooling capacity.

Maybe we could gut the stock thermostat housing.... or (a pain) removed the inline stat and just keep the housing for hot months?

Installed mine, and after doing it with/and without a 3/32-1/8" bypass hole drilled, the inline thermostat doens't open correctly. See my thread here:

Well, did a 2k mile road trip, up over the mountains, avg about 70 mph, NO overheating problems, never passed the halfway mark. Total weight in jeep was 1200 + lbs over empty.

My MPG on the trip from WA to MO was about 25 mpg still, I hit 26 mpg never going over 70 mph through OR and ID, but the pass and higher freeway speeds through UT, WY, NE I was getting about 24 mpg.
