    I'll ask him when I go to his shop in a couple days. The only thing is you have to unmount the wheels before bringing them in.

    Once I have the new wheels mounted I could let you borrow my stock set if you decide to get it done

    That's scary. I had thought about getting one of those. Have others had this issue?

    Well I am back at work and realized that I didn't post my last week home. So... a week of updates.
    1.I got husky mats in the mail, love them and so SO much better then the stock sets that I was running. I had a picture installed but I cant seem to find it.
    IMG_0668.jpg IMG_0669.jpg
    2. I shaved the body mount to prevent any more rubbing from the 33's. The old man decided to get in there with a grinder to clean up the cut a little. Pretty funny.

    Before
    P1050033.jpg
    During
    P1050038.jpg
    After
    P1050037.jpg
    3. The most controversial upgrade I have done to date. I posted earlier that I installed a box for a future upgrade. Here is the rest of the duel electric fan upgrade. Tested so far with over 50km per tank further range.
    Here are the pictures. Before picture with the stock clutch fan.
    20160114_121139.jpg
    Sealed Controller box made of a plano tackle box and L brackets. Used gromit on the bottom of the box to feed wires through. Not 100% waterproof but I have been through some major wet area's and nothing stays inside.
    20160114_141025.jpg 20160117_152616.jpg
    Put a couple washers inbetween the nuts and the water pump pulley.
    P1180042.jpg
    Then installed the fans using the push through zip ties. Each fan is rated at 1650 CFM and in testing it cools the radiator a 10 degree change in under 30 seconds with only one fan running.
    20160118_164258.jpg P1180045.jpg
    I am using an inline temp sending unit (0-300f) from Dakota Digital to match the controller that I bought. I used a flexalite 1 1/2" housing (smallest I could find to try and match 1 3/8" hose) and using a little petroleum jelly I was able to slide the hose over without much issue. I had to ground the sensor housing by tapping a small screw through the brass fitting on the opposite side of the sensor housing.
    P1180052.jpg
    And finally wired up the fans to a 60 amp resettable circuit breaker and two separate relays to individually control the fans via controller.

    Are the square cutouts for the D2s new in the Pelfrey design? Or did you custom order that? Much better fit than the round. I'm thinking of switching out my D2s for the round BajaDesigns.
