Electric fan control

I'm considering removing my engine fan from my Jeep, and replacing it with an electric fan, for obvious reasons. I'm interested in anyones ideas for a simple temp sensor triggered fan control...of course, inexpensive is important.
Any ideas?

Does your ZJ have the towing package? You might have a pusher e-fan installed already. You could pull the clutch fan and try running around on that for a bit to see if its enough. Otherwise, what kind of fan are you planning on hooking up?

I know summit racing sells a switch to trigger aftermarket electric fans at the temperature you specifiy. Might be something good to look into.
