Here's my .02 cents

Thank you for the info.
I would have given you a $1 for this!
It sounds like this is the way to go, though you raise some good concerns about the cons.

well i installed a electric fan from a 1998 sunfire and seems to be working fine. I just have it on a toggle switch but work good. Even took it out in some pretty severe terrain with no problems...

2001 sporty, tj rear springs with rav4 shocks, ford alloys machined centers with 30x9.5x15, front spacers. more upgrades to come.

Post some pictures of your work!!!

Might want to put in a 95c-102c snap switch and relay...much safer.

SPAL ( like the one i used ) is a solution..
Also many AC fans can do the trick

you need it to be 16inch diameter
