Talking Nice!!!

Fastplastic - Great idea, I like it!

How does it do with the belt mounted fan blowing air around the compartment - any movement? How do you have it secured?

As much a recent (albeit slow) convert to ecomodding (mostly because I do it primarily for MPG reasons, but I like reducing my impact on the environment too!), I'm going to remove my shroud from my cold air intake for winter driving and try that out for a season (once I'm back to the states and all). I don't know if you are up to this, but I'm seriously considering converting over to an all electric engine fan vice the belt driven one that NEVER shuts off. I've heard wonderful things about that helping warm up time and taking some load off of the engine when you don't need cooling (ie, anytime below 30 degrees driving on level ground). Based on almost everything I've read, the fan and shroud out of a 95 year Ford Taurus is the best replacement (just takes some minor modification to the Ford fan-shroud for fitment) as it's the only one that can pull the 4000 CFM that the stock fan was capable of.

Man, I hate being away from my Jeep when I have all of these things I want to try! When I'm back, I'll be sure to post some pics!
