yeh was lookin at that one but was just curious on how well they would go with the heat coming off the turbo etc, or would a front mount work better?

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

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.Rhysta wrote:Wait till you see the price..neilpatrol wrote:Mate top mount with thermo fans works awesome on my ute.
