My son just bought this thing and was trying to fill the radiator but says there is no radiator cap on the radiator. Anyone know where the cap is?

Should be right on top, in the middle.

This isn't an XJ Wagoneer, is it? I only ask because my 87 XJ Cherokee has no cap on the radiator. I installed a filler junction pipe in one of the hoses.

You folks don't live in one of those neighborhoods with the "Slow Children" signs do ya?
Just kidding!! :D

If it's got a stock radiator in it the cap is right on top just like on your J10.

edit: After reading the above reply...
If it's not a FSJ you're talking about and one of the itty bitty ones it may well not have a rad cap. My 90 XJ doesn't and they didn't go back to using rad caps till 92 on the baby non-fsj Wags. You'll have to do the fill thing through the plastic reservoir tank.

Ha Ha Ha guys..........Thanks for the info. I guess it is one of the xj models but I don't know for sure. It does however have the plastic resevoir back by the passenger side firewall. The only thing that hooks to it is the bypass hose from the thermostat housing. How does that fill the radiator?
