memorial day, it was hot as *****, jeep was running a lil hot. so i figured a great day to do a zj clutch upgrade. my fan clutch was toast. part came in from autozone, and it was a tight fit, but i made it happen. take off in the jeep, i hear the clutch rubbing on something. get out, its a little rod on the radiator causing the rubbing. i say **** it, and keep going. i get to the cook out, and smell coolant (not too much, but the sweet smell when it burns). check the radiator, and the clutch had carved a perfect circle (from the 10 oclock to the 2 oclock) in the radiator. sweet. time for a replacement (mind you my rad was missing one of the top mounts.

tuesday, call out of work. find out afterwards that if you call out the day after a paid holiday, you dont get paid for the holiday. ****. oh well, time to go to the junkyard. find a new renix radiator (super shiny and all the tags were on it), $43. take it home install it, nearly passed out from the heat.

wednesday, driving home from work in stop and go traffic, i took off from a stop, to hear the clutch hit the radiator again. i cant just fix it, so said **** it again. get home, same thing happened, just 2x worse.

...i'm sure it'll settle down with weight in the back and it's on 4 wheels, and after i breaks in....i hope....

It should - hell it's only a 4 leaf pack, and two of those leaves came off an xj sagging almost as much as mine was
