offset to center fan mod

[omega_rugal]

now that i got a nice open cooling radiator ready to swap in, the next step would be to move the mechanical fan to the center, to the water pump, as for that swap, what parts do i need to get? the whole water pump? or just the fanclutch? because the offset fan is attached to the pulley with NUTS and the waterpump has BOLTS on it... the way i see it is to replace the bolts with studs and get a new fanclutch from a 4.0 wrangler, those have the fan on the center right?

Unless you mount the rad more forward than factory, there is no room to install the fan on the WP like most other vehicles.

Why?  And how did you actually do it?

several reasons the actual rad is in pretty bad shape and it`s closed cooling, the base was bent maybe from colission so i took the chance to pick a better, open cooling radiator, fix the mounts and mod it to receive the new rad... as for the offset fan... i don`t know, i can`t stand it, besides the new rad is more square than rectangular... and my efan broke some tiem ago...

How about pictures?

if you have a square radiator instead of a rectangle one.... its not the right one.

 

 

not sure about YJs but TJs used a single threaded nut for their water pump/fans, not the 4 bolt flange like the MJ uses.

i know, the mount was modded so it fit
