Clutch fan
Hey everyone, Just got a new 2010 JK 2 door 6speed. Love it! Should have got one sooner. Owned a YJ years ago.. what a step forward ! After spending much time looking over every inch of this thing I have noticed the possibility of a clutch fan, ie. the water pump pulley has threads. Has anyone tried to mount one. Think of the electric fan going bad on the trail. just bolt up a clutch fan!

My fan very rarely even runs. I use grill inserts to keep the radiator fins a little cleaner, Water Wetter to lower my water temperature and a 180 degree thermostat in the summer. My fan on temperature is 200 degrees and I would guess that I would have a hard time getting it to kick on at all if it was set to the stock 215 degrees.

I've seen a few JKs here that came with a few different things including a clutch fan, I believe they are Egyptian spec JKs since the lettering in the owners manuals and the visors are Egyptian, they have different front/rear bumpers, tail lamps and other things. I know your concern but the electric units are very effective, JMO.
