Hey all, I know this sounds like a dumb question and yes, I've seen and read the "overheating" threads on the forum but have a simple issue. I've added a winch and am now running hot (just shy of the RED) at high speeds and long trips. No issues prior to the winch so I'm confident the cooling system is up to snuff but obviously the winch is blocking the radiator. I can't imagine I'm the first person to add a non-recessed winch so I'm looking for some advice. Removing the winch and selling it to one of you is not an option so don't even ask.

If your sure your cooling system is good shape and if you haven't done it already you may want to upgrade your fan clutch to one for a ZJ (NAPA #272310). It will definitely pull alot more air through the areas of your radiator not blocked by the winch. Direct bolt in replacement to.

Gee oh Dee

Better shrouding should help.

Recess the winch. It's obviously the problem.

Can also try putting in hood louvers to see if that helps.

Otherwise, I'd recess the winch.
