    HD cooling fan- To Be, Or Not To Be?

    That's the listing, but both part numbers in the description come back as shrouds. Just shrouds. That just struck me as odd, and I don't like taking chances on eBay. Last time I had to file a dispute, I got screwed by a bad description and was out money.

    HD cooling fan- To Be, Or Not To Be?

    Alright, TwoBobs, I pulled the trigger. Dorman electric fan/shroud, Hayden clutch, MOPAR blade assembly. The part# they gave in that link you posted only came back as the shroud itself, so they may have changed something. What part of northern Ohio do you hail from? I'm down in Pataskala, near...

    HD cooling fan- To Be, Or Not To Be?

    Looks like this might open a can of worms, but I gotta know, and I gotta know FAST: Is upgrading to the mechanical HD cooling fan worth it, and are there any surprises I should know about? I'm going from THIS OLD THREAD for the moment. It appears to me the only difference in the fans are the...

    Need wheel suggestions!

    What do you think of 265/65r17 on 17x8, 4.45" backspacing? Cause I really like the wheels I found, and the 16" version is a lot deeper.

    Need wheel suggestions!

    The regear is already in the works. Yukon 4.10s are on the way. Eaton LSDs are on the list, too. All other measurements being nearly equal, the extra half-inch of radius makes that big of a difference? What kind of trimming would be necessary to stuff the 265/70r17 into a 2.5" lift?

    Spare Tire Extension Kit

    Further question: Turning the carrier over doesn't interfere with the glass with a larger tire? I'll be hanging a 265/70R17 off mine.

    Need wheel suggestions!

    I'm gonna need some new wheels and tires once I install my JBA 2.5" lift. I've picked out 265/70R16 Wrangler DuraTracs for the tire. I hate spacers, so I'd like to find something with a 4.5" backspace, preferably 16x8.5 or 16x9. EDIT: Nevermind, I think I found my wheels and tires. Moved up...

    Too many hobbies already!

    I did say "and all you people that own Jeeps, too". Okay, so the wiper motor thing fixed itself, somehow. Typical MOPAR, lol. I've got other questions, though; Is the Dana 30a aluminum housing really so fragile that putting in a locker can crack it? I'd like to put in an air locker, but not...

    Too many hobbies already!

    Good evening, ladies and gentleman, and all you people that own Jeeps, too. I'll be picking up my new-to-me KJ in the morning, a 2004 Sport 4x4 with the 3.7, of course. I finally got sick of struggling to get my gigantic kludge of a 6.0L F-350 to start on cold nights, and just as tired of...
