Default Dirt Bound Electric fan Set-up

Alright so I am getting ready to pull my motor for a rebuild. I was thinking of going with the Dirt Bound triple fan setup when I re install. Any input on this setup? I see mixed feelings on the company but nothing on the fan setup. Is it worth the money?

Not a real big wheeler but use my jeep ALOT for hunting and your basic trails nothing too bad.

Any input would be great! Thanks

I looked at the fan setup about a week ago and it looked pretty good. As far as the company goes.. I'm not that impressed. I ordered my sye kit through them. Came with missing hardware and no instructions. I called and emailed numerous times with only one reply email with the PDF instructions. No word on the hardware ...this was over a week ago

Love the fan setup and I had no problems dealing with the company when I first ordered my setup and when I had to order another fan.

So the fans work as they are suppose too? Have you noticed it running any cooler? Did you get the whole kit (fans,shroud,wire kit)?

Yes, it is running cooler and I did get the whole kit.

In regards to shipping times, I believe I received mine within 10 days.

I guess you are in the same boat I am? It does not seem to be that popular.

I am on the same page as you. I just cant find any more reviews on it. I am leaning towards getting though.

10 days ship time sounds fair, unless you already have everything for the upgrade, then i guess it could be frustrating
