Im in the same boat. Some days I want too. Some days I dont. Dont really like the look of a four door with all four doors off.

I drove her to work. 80 mph on the tollways without issues as usuall.

I got another stock elec. Fan. And a couple relays so I can try ANOTHER fan set up. Lol. Why not I get it at cost.....
