pick n pull. I think shipping would make it cost prohibitive. If not I have one on an 87 for $10 plus shipping. I'd do the wrecking yard solution.

Not to hijack, but does anybody know any good pick and pull yards around Austin? I can't seem to find one.

I thought there was a Jeep salvage yard between Austin and McQueeney.

I bought Taurus fans and I'm not doing it because of the following reasons:

1. Not enough time in my life for it now
2. Bought the wrong generation of fans. I have to build shrouds for them now to clear the radiator and provide proper flow
3. Don't want to cut engine brackets and grind on other brackets
4. Difficulty finding a belt that fits. Evidently Renix and non-Renix engines use different belt routing and what not.
5. I need my Jeep going quick. I have to have it ready for the Warrior Jeep Run at Hot Springs. That and its sat not running now for 2 months or so....


Thats why. The Taurus fans are going in eventually, but I'm waiting to buy the right parts now.

What zip code are you shipping from? I may look into that. The pick-n-pull around is a blankin' crook. That and car-part is listing the fan at $65 in my local area

By the old airport or the new one?

I knew a jeep only part yard (no pick and pull though) out by the old airport but their phone is disconnected. They were expensive too

Since I'm not sure which is old and which is new, I'm gonna say old. It was on 183 is all I remember.

To all of those that live in the N.Austin area, Harolds is THE junkyard to go to. It's out in the country, big and cheap.
