I was ****ting bricks and making three people spot me cause I was thinking of the rollover in the XJ

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.

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

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.
