Did you not find the unit I told you about from JB Electronics on 32nd? I wired mine all up and it works perfect with the taurus fan, 3 way switch and all!

Here you go dude;

Wiring harness and thermostat controller (MFA 100)

JB Power Centre Website (Calgary Location at the bottom)
http://www.maradynehp.com/products/accessories/wire-harnesses.php

I also picked up a laundry list of extras from PA, 3 way switch, wiring, adhesive foam strips (place between fan and rad), fuses, watertight plastic container to house relay harness.  If you'd like I can come by one night and show you the set up.  If I can do it (with help from Buki) you can too!  :P

For the fuse holder I pulled a bunch of the wiring from the car with the fan, including the fuse holder. I believe it was a 60 or 70amp fuse.

well, quick update because i'm bored as hell at work. i gues people don't like to discuss their investment portfolios when its almost Christmas break ;)

put my new driveshaft in, it bolted up nice, kind of rerouted the exhaust a bit to clear the IRO cross member, hammered/cut some more fender on teh passenger side (maybe my axles bent; lol donno)
and hooked everything back up.  rides and drives nice again.

now she's all ready for the zombpocalypse ;)

Steering got tweaked ? People say the V8 ZJ steering is supposed to be an upgrade for TJ's and XJ's? < snicker>

did some more fun stuff.  blew out the IRO joints on my arms. decided that replacing them with the same would just lead to similar failure. plus they werne't adjustable, so i can't pop the axle out further to run 35s in the future ;) 
so decided to go with johnny joints instead................  stan had em to me overnight, which is good, cause i'm impatient ;)  got some jjs and weld in bungs; now, the control arms aren't the righ ID for these, but having friend swith lathes is great!

gotta say i'm happy with how it turned out. control arm surgery is fun Johnny Joints for the win!
