Default Adding electric fan

I tend to run a little hot while on trails or long trips up hills. I was thinking of adding an electric pusher fan to assist with cooling. Is there any cons to this?

The amount of room you dont have lol. I dont think you could run and electric fan and your clutch fan. Id just pull the clutch fan off and run an electric. Im going to be doing that soon once i get the rest lf the quirls worked out and my camaro on the road so i have another driver. I havent done alot of research but ive been told a fan from a ford tauras is ideal size air pushed through yada yada yada. And just wire it up to a switch or they have temp switches you can set to a certain temp (i jave one on my camaro and have it set at 100 degrees and the car has never seen 160+ and love the setup

I was gonna put the fan on the grille side as a pusher. It appears that I have enough room for it there.

If you still have the clutch fan you could ditch that for a taurus fan or something...maybe.

There are kits for XJs, maybe one would work somehow for you?

Toss the clutch fan and add two electric fans. One that runs all the time and one that will turn on when it gets up to temp.

Would I put one as a pusher and one puller? It doesn't seem that 2 would fit as pullers.

The Tauras fan will be all you will need. Just pull the clutch fan and wire in an electric fan. It is a 2 speed fan hi-lo. Great swap for any ZJ. Grab the Fan shroud with it for max effectiveness. This is a very common conversion in many different types of vehicles from sports cars to offroad Jeeps! Found on the early Tauras, Mark VIII and a few others cant remember off the top of my head.
