[QUOTE="7.62marksman, post: 578725, member: 8005"] Took my ute to a bloke who is a metal fabricator and builds race cars and dose 4 wheel drive mods for him to have a look What he found was Bull bar not designed for this model ute so showed me where to cut bits out and also he is going to do a built in air ram into the radiator Replace the original fan and remove the thermo fan i fitted No bash plate fitted so am chasing one of them this week if not he will build me one out of 3mm checker plate Removed the thermo fan Cut the bull bar as he suggested and believe it or not this is what happened The way was it started it boiled (106 degrees) after 10k Traveled today 47k in 30 degree heat (bloody hot here today) the temperature did not get above 82 degrees (normal operating temp is between 80 to 94 degrees) So just cutting the bull bar and doing the fan has helped so much cant wait to see the end result when he finishes with it So the way things are looking i will be back on the road with a bit of luck by the next week or so [/QUOTE]
