I would scrounge the wreckers and get a used stock one. Our Cherokee
doesn't have AC so the electric fan is missing. The mechanical fan only
covers half the rad, the other half is for an electric fan.

Aren't electric fans a liability when Jeepin in deep water? Just askin
cause I was thinking about installing an electric fan on my Wrangler. Had
occassion to ford deep streams in the past and was wondering if electric
fans were a bad idea.

If you have a manual kill switch, no problems. Some folks prefer
electric when they have a lot of water on their routes.

All Cherokees with AC have a second fan in them that is electric. No
manual kill switch though.

Easy to wire one in. If you do this I would suggest a lighted switch that
lights up when the fan is off, so its not forgotten when you return to
everyday use.
