Default Tripple Threat fan kit from FFdynamics

did a search, didnt see anything besides someone posting a link.

was wondering if anyone had this, and if so, any pics or reviews on it? Seems a bit expensive but looks like a nice setup.

for $75 less you can go with the double fan at 3600cfm... http://ffdynamics.com/wranglerB.html ....instead of the triple at 3300cfm!

that is a nice setup but would that have the same problem as the other one with towing and heat above 95 degrees or not

Looks good but the jump to the extreme tt seems a little too high in price,

i have the extreme tt kit in my and honestly the radiator is a very good radiator when my thermostat opens up it cools fast i mean really fast and it keeps the motor cool. im just having problems with my thermostat i believe so when i drive up hill or in heavy traffic im heating up a bit so im gonna try and replace that first hopefully its not my water pump. sorry small rant on my thoughts haha
but seriously i would recommend the triple threat extreme tt its a very clean and efficient set up

Those fans are made in china and are poorly designed.

Or you can get a duel fan setup from a Dodge Neon and bolt that in, cost about 25-35 in a JY and has 2 fans that run independently...Tj

Where do you figure this? Not tryin to be an **** or anything, but I have considered buying these setups and if you have good info that says they are bad then I would like to know it before I waste money.

I've had those in the second pic, they were not from ffdynamics but looking at the picture they are exactly the same. The problem is that the mounts are designed poorly: the sliding brackets are thought to be adapted to different radiators and the absence of shrouds leave some space between the outer frame and the radiator. What happens is that air is going to be sucked in from the side and not through the radiator. The motors turn very slow, you can count to 5 and they are still revving up. They were always on.

I've picked a pair of JY Audi A6 fans and they come with high efficiency balanced blades, one piece with the shroud that i cutted to fit on the radiator. The motors are double as big as the chinese ones thus being the same depth. The wires are 7 gauge per motor, i had to do a double circuit with two relays but now when they come on temperature sinks from 200 to 170 in less than 10 seconds.
