Anyone Run an Electric Fan successfully?

I attempted to fit a Taurus fan but with my alternator up top  the belt was in the way of the fan motor and I gave up. Instead I installed two 97+ XJ fans on switches and have not had any issues. It runs below 100. I ditched the a/c condenser that was blocking flow in front of the rad, keep the rad clean and always have the fans running (except for water crossings, but I usually forget to turn them off anyways  )

The trick there is to move your rad forward about an inch and a half
It requires cutting a small amount off the metal support-beam thing across the top to make room for the rad cap.

I think the Real trick for a TJ is to stick with mechanical...thank god for an iron block and an iron head. Stoopid Taurus fan ran my jeep to boil over more time then I can remember....on the trail....on the road..you name it particularly when you didn't expect it.

I'm not going to drop hundreds of dollars on a fancy fan .... not enough benefit...Taurus fan was good because the whole thing could be done for just over 100 bucks

Jamal it can be done for much less!

Mechanical fan, way more reliable than any electric junk.
