So recently all of a sudden my Jeep started overheating. I went ahead and replaced the radiator and shroud fan, thermostat, water pump and water temperature sensor and it is still overheating. Any suggestions as to what I should try next?

Just to cover all the bases...

It is actually overheating (separate thermometer) shows temps well above 230F ON COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS?

Or, it your temp gauge showing unacceptable readings?

I'm presuming when the water pump was replaced, the belt was too. And the idler pulleys (and alternator) checked?

Is your JK equipped with and engine driven or electric cooling fan? Clutch or relay/thermostat/controller issues?

If it is really is still overheating, you are looking down the wrong end of head gasket issues.

Take the cover off the engine, and check the oil cooler. Sits right in the middle of the engine. Mine was starting to leak, and liquid was living in the valley of the engine. This is how I found out mine was leaking:

Anything in front of the grille, winch, light bars, angry eyes?

So I finally figured out the problem! It turns out it was the aftermarket fan was not blowing out enough heat from the radiator. I put back the original and it is no longer overheating. Thanks to everyone for your feedback and help.
