Very cool idea.

Oh hell yeah! MUCH cheaper than the $300 bones I was planning to spend on a Black Magic fan for Mr Greybeard.

That's what I was thinking... also I was thinking about my shitty gas milelage. It may even be as simple as a new... (hold on a minute)...

Oh shit I was looking for the picture of my backing plates and thinking maybe my bent rear housing would contribute to my shitty gas mileage. While I was looking I came across a funny picure I once made and to me it represents how someone would like to send many people to the poor house in the name of modern reparations or a Robinhood complex.

He may not have anything to do with my brakes or my mileage but he influnces how much of my money goes to the Saudi family.

Here we go... was thinking it was more dramatic... or maybe I was just thinking one of those TG housings would look good on the Taco!

So you bent the housing on your tacoma?

I think he's harder on his than you or I are. Tacoma... he's harder on his Tacoma. Just to clear that up.

And for the record, I'm no longer hard on mine (I laugh when I type that).

Well the housing aren't all that hard to bend, I've got a trashed on in my garage that was supposed to be going under drews runner till I had a bit of a mishap with a tractor and a parts truck.

LOL... tractor.. parts truck.

But he bent his wheeling... no secondary vehicles involved. Those Morning Glory guys like to jump shit and go fast.. crazy fawkers.

Taurus fans are a popular swap, but not as good as the Mercury Villager fan, they are a bit more powerful. YT has a ton of thread about the benefits of the Villager vs. the Taurus fan.

Good to know Rob. I am planning a trip to the pick-n-pull in the near future to locate a steering column cover and maybe some fenders. I'll add Mercury Villager fan to the list.

Cool

I might just have to go pick up one of those fans for the chevy. The price is certainly right and I could really use the extra power/mpgs. If I can just get it back to double digit MPGs I'll be happy.

The Villager fans are better but harder to find. You can get a Taurus fan all day long at any salvage yard. If you find a Villager fan get get me one too, I'm good for it.

The Taurus fans are sweet. I run mine on high only and it keeps everything very cool all day long. Got mine at a PnP in houston for $35.
