It was a beautiful day, and all seemed to be well.

First mistake: Should not have gone into the never ending miniature ATV trails, They are ATV trails for a reason. Very exciting though almost rolled a few times.

The red wrangler was afraid to go through the left part here, So I went in first! LOL Have video of it.

He gave it a good effort, but unfortunately not even Bill Cosby would have had authority over this pudding-like mud. Luckily the Liberty is a great recovery tool.

Mud, mud, mud, mud...CLUNK! Goodbye drivers side half shaft...

Shortly after he broke down and then hydrolocked, my precious Liberty failed in the most unexpected way, overheated... radiator fan seized up and I boiled out about a gallon of coolant.

Our day ended before I even had a chance to pull out the tripod and take some good shots.

I guess I'll just have to revisit the mounds in the near future with a better plan, for saving my fan.

Has anyone else ever had any problem with the radiator fan dying from mud intoxication. It wasnt even thick mud either.

Well anyway, I'll add a video link in this thread in a day or two. The vids are much more interesting.

This is why I'm not a real big fan of mud. :-s

Did you have fun? LOL

Though I don't have many pictures to support it, the hour I spent there was a blast, but hardly worth the $60 bucks it cost me to get up there.

My brother has an 04 sport that the fan failed just this past weekend from mud intake. Cost him $300 to get it fixed.

Did he try blowing it out at the quarter power wash for like 5 minutes straight, cause that fixed mine. the_finger.gif

Unfortunately, he didnt' get there in time and it burned out the fan motor. #-o

Still for the $60... looked like a good time and you've got the photos that prove it. (Cheers)

Scratch that, it stopped again, and for good now. ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

Does anyone know if the 2005 electric fan is the same as the previous models? None of the parts sites I have found list anything for the 05's yet.

 

[jfortier777]

Still having problems with the fan kicking in, and its on its way to the dealer monday.

Does anyone know where I can buy a mechanically driven fan for an 05 Ren.
