I put a B&M #70255 16,000 GVW trans cooler and a 10" Hayden rapid cool pusher fan on the LJ. I was thinking about a fan mounted cooler but the thickness is tight and by researching the issue it seems the radiator could use the fan more than the transmission. I was going to use the round braces in front of the radiator to weld a mount to, but when I took it off the tube was full of rusty water. I just made another bracket out of bar stock and mounted both of them up.
I do think I could have put the 12" fan in the space available instead of the 10", now that the project is done. I wired it up with a Painless weatherproof fan relay, hooked to a 205* On 185* Off fan switch plumbed into a brass "T" in the waterneck. It has been cool here and the fan has not cycled much but it seems to work great when it does.
