Hellas no. J1 is a wreck now. Try that In the snow. Went to Rausch in February. They had bad snow there. By the end of the day, all the trails were dug out. Even simple hills were turning out light blues.

Default Electric fan stuck

While trying to remove my serp. belt, i ran into trouble sliding my electric fan out of the mounting holes that keep it in place. I already removed the mechanical fan shroud, but the tab that is closest to the headlight (driver's side) wont slide out. I have done this many times before, but not since my condenser was replaced......any ideas?

ZJ gas tank skid plates do if you drill new holes. If ZJ & XJ hitches are similar it's probably a matter of different mounting

Reach your hand down the electric fan shroud and try to grab the bottom of the fan near the stuck tab. Then give it a nice tug straight up, that should do it. On mine I have to push the top of the electric fan shroud towards the firewall just enough to get the top of the shroud to clear the metal radiator fan support. You can only push so far before the shroud hits the ps pump pulley however.

Thanks. I am new to the site and not sure where I am supposed to be. I have inspected all the steering and suspension joints and they all look good. If it was one of those joints, why would it only do it for a week or so after a trip and then just stop? I am baffled.

Just got my Dirtbound E-Fan Conversion kit, gonna be installing it in the morning (whenever I wake up); My question is if you have done the conversion can you explain how to wire it up? Like I am 5 please. I got the wire yourself kit like a ******* trying to save few dollars.

I cut a square piece out of mine on that corner, I was so tired of having to finagle it out.
