These ladies returned from the spa! 3 out of 6 had "dripping"spray patterns, with a variance of almost 6%! After the treatment, they all have excellent spray patterns and balanced to within 0.7% of each other. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1438856252.556667.jpg

Cool. I'd be really interested to know what kind of temps you see before and after.

Just did a test
3pm 111°
After sitting in sun with AC full blast
air intake 155°
water 209°
vent 68.2°

Turn on aux fan
After 10min
intake 159°
water 198°
vent 64.2

Video and more info to follow on the other forum

Kit available soon

That is an impressive drop. On a hot day on the tarmack, I'm seeing WCT's in the 195-205* range, spiking up to 210-215* if towing or getting on it hard. An aux fan has been on my radar.

I will stay tuned for updates. This is a great idea.

The ARB Sahara bumper has a recess for the winch fairlead so that when you mount a roller fairlead the rollers are just slightly inside the bumper housing. When you mount a normal hawse fairlead it is too far back and there is a strong possibility of rubbing the winch cable against the inside of the recess on sharp angles. So I solved the problem by mounting a Factor 55 1.5" fairlead on top of my warn fairlead. Seemed like a simple idea until I found out the Factor 55 is too wide to fit in the recess, after a trip to a machine shop trimmed it down it fits perfectly, I also changed from a Factor 55 Prolink to a Flat link
