Good run today guys! It was nice to finally meet Derek, & put the BS to rest. Kinda bummed I had to take a rope on WW, but I made it further than the last attempt!

Nice when you come down to UT head for moab, & do you research! You can't go wrong, but you can find yourself on the wrong trail!!!

Thanks to everyone who came out, it was a great day of wheeling!

So if you wanna hang out, drink a beer and talk jeeps let's do it.
Welcome to the forum, keep an eye on this thread, should be a buncha runs coming up now wheeling season is upon us. Just be sure to ask the questions and pick a run your stocker will do, meet some of the guys and you'll be on your way. The guys that hang out here are a wellspring of knowledge when it comes to Jeeps and four wheeling.

it has the t case lowering kit. when i shift it the motor does not rock or shift much. it is the center of the fan hitting the radiator. the blades have never hit it. does the t case lowering kit affect that or can is cause it? if so how.

The lowering kit tilt your whole drive train. Most people me included just have a problem with the fan hitting the shroud! Your fan might not be pressed on all the way... I would just pull it off, & replace it with an E fan like Zach recommended!
