The electric conversion kits are NOT cost effective. If you can do it yourself with a pulled part you'll see a benefit, otherwise it's just for show.
Thanks for the info. I'll check Rangerpowersports.
I bought the relay kit for $35 and the fan came from a yard at $35 also(if I remember correctly), so altogether that's only $70 bucks in this. I should recoup the money in about 2 years of driving if gas stays at $2/gallon.
I'll try to take some pics of my progress and final setup.
