Thanks for looking out, that would have been a bad mistake had I ordered the wrong ones lol (I double checked )

Yeah thats what I am going for, I want to get the M.O.R.E. mounts as Jack it carriers/stocks them locally for easy replacements, and the mounts are only 64.99 new, cheaper then most. accompanied by the less expensive brackets should do the job!

If you get that kit, do yourself a favor and get rid of the stock connectors on the fans and just wire them up with butt splices instead. The ground leads on some of mine were like hot dogs down a hallway (rounded male/female connectors) and killed two of the three fans. Dirtbound replaced them for free and the connector style isn't their fault (though they could replace them with a better type) but it sucked driving around with only one working fan.

Good to know thanks! I was going to order the "wire it yourself" setup once I get around to it.... I like how it pulls more CFM and is 100$ cheaper then the triple threat setup.

Thanks for the info JK. Gorilla, I bought this but have yet to do the install. I can shoot you some pics if you want to see the kit up close.

Right on, Not so worried about how it looks, more about how it works. let me know once you get it mounted!

The controller is for the Triple fan setup to maximize cooling. the link is for the whole setup not just the controller.

I have been getting some bad reviews about this setup since I have had my eye on it... I guess its back to the drawing board for now... but I'll get it running before I worry about fans...

Go with the dirtbound kit. If you skeptical look in naxja vendor area there is a bunch of documentation on it cfm's. Plus max is a great guy to deal with. His kit is what I run and have no complaints.

Just factory replacements. No need for head studs as It wont see forced induction.

I wish the fans where black lol

This is the kit you run? I'll look over there, the tipple threat is lifetime warranty... which kinda makes it look more appealing... but haven't made up my mind anyway...

Max's fans are black I'm running his prototype triple fan kit ( which was called the triple threat but forgot its not now) I'm not running the high dollar red fan kit just the dirt bound kit and I've bombed around sand hollow said dunes in 111* weather and the jeep stayed around 220-240* with all 3 fans going. I rarely run all 3 tho, only if needed I hit the 3rd fan. Mine are all wired independently so I have control. But I do have a controller if you want to buy it.......cheap
