Mate top mount with thermo fans works awesome on my ute. I'm upgrading to a nissan navara bonnet scoop as they are quite wider than the patrol as will flow better.

the trick with top mounts is you need to build a shrowd under it and fit your fan to it , and the top has to be sealed against the bonnet so as not to suck in hot air from the engine bay it is tight but doable , and easier with a bodylift

some pics of mine during construction ( still not finnished yet :roll: )

Nizzbits on patrol4x4 says around $450 which is alot more than the $110 for the patrol but money isn't really an issue when it comes to the truck.
