Yep I've been running a Taurus fan for a couple of years. I'm just hoping to get something that fits a little more OEM. The Taurus fan is 16" so it hangs under the radiator 5" and it's not maximizing cooling. The 2 speed fan controller also leaks so it's rusting my frame under the battery box.

Stabilizer is a band aid for an existing problem... it will never "fix" anything

Bumper is finished. Everything is good to go for the postponed grand canyon trip and the awaited EJS trip.
Shakedown run over the weekend on a several miles of really harsh dirt road trails with no movement.

Anyone going to EJS?

The stabilizer is also for dampening steering deflection, hit an angled rut on a washed out trail and it will help absorb the blow along with the power steering.

Ben is saying that a front suspension/steering setup on our jeeps (any jeep actually) that is in proper working order will NEVER need a S.S.

I understand that but I just replaced ball joints, axle side control arm mounts, wheel hub units, New tires just balanced, and brand new steering. So why waste time and money trying to fix it if I can put on what the factory did and be done. And like ghost said it takes a lot of beating off your steering box and pump. And arms!

Did you check the body CA mounts? They wear out just as fast as the axle end.

I mentioned before to do the dry steering test and see what moves. Did you do that? Real easy way to see what is bad.

I have long arms with Johnny joints. But yes. There is no play in anything.
