has anyone done this mod?

I thought about doing that mod once but the mechanical fan sounds cool lol
I emailed them but no response back yet. As of right now it seemed to be just you talking about going so I was in for a run to test out the brackets I made. Seems no-one is going now.

I have read that if you get the fans off of a Lexus that can cool a 350 no problem, but I do not know if they will fit on a XJ.

Yea the Taurus fans are 2200 CFM and most jy's have em. Just make sure you run it through a relay with the power straight from the battery as they really pull the juice.

i might be going to down south off-road park on Sunday and was wondering what to expect? I have a 3in lift with 30in km2s. pretty sure I can handle most of the stuff there. but I would like some advice from an experienced person who has knowledge of this park.
