i cut the plastic infront of the a/c condensor and cut notches in the frame rails that the a/c hit so it could go farther back into the frame, gave me like an extra inch

I plan to do mine like Hamrhead did his with a twin pusher and single puller fan setup. I will take pics of the process to give eveyone an idea of how easy it is to do.

No link on OFI's exsiting site. Maybe it will be on his new site. I ordered a BeCool, but I ordered the wrong one. Yeah me and Ebay. The one I ordered has the outlet on the driver side bottom and the inlet on the passenger side upper. I am going to wait till it arrives to see if I can make it work. If not hen I will try something different.
