Have just got my self a surf with a pat gardener v6 conversion
Anything to look out for on this like dramas anyone has
Only thing worrying me is the fact that it is running a 2wd Hilux radiator with 1 10inch
Thermo
Any suggestions on others to use haven't been game to go off road with it being so little

I currently run the stock diesel radiator with a single 16" Davies Craig fan and it only gets warmish around 95 degrees pumping the air con on a 35+ degree day. This is running a 1uz-fe
