    Have you considered doing the cover that goes between the grill and radiator support frame?

    I got a feeling that if you forced the air to move through the radiator rather than around it would help a lot. Take a look at modern supercharged or turbo cars and they all have shrouds around to force the air through the intercoolers.

    No Sims, turned off in HP Tuner. Shows not supported. The other can’t complete a Ready Check after flashing and shows Not Ready. All readiness checks reset after flashing.

    I’ve never been able to get my truck to show them as N/A! Interesting.

    I have a cheap Actron (from Autozone) and then I use the MPVI2/VCM Scanner.

    Both read “incomplete”. So I was forced to get creative. I didn’t want my truck failing.

    Let me think on that. The problem is it's a great price but shipping will make them $500 by the time it's all said and done, and new costs near the same. I would have to cut off the vibrant cats anyways since they are not OE cats so I will have to work on them anyways. I only know because I just dealt with this with @Darkgoatracer when he shipped OE manifolds to me. luckily we both ended up benefitting from it and all was well that ended well.

    Do you have any pictures of them, mainly the cats?

    I’ll snap some as soon as I can. In all honesty, if you cant use the cats your probably just better off buying them new if it’s gonna cost you the same in the end.

    That's sort of the dilema I'm in. They have to be stock as nothing else will fly and since I'd rather be compliant than not despite moving or not here within the year or so it creates some complications.

    Hey boys. Fan clutch is bad. Garbage factory parts have kept me from enjoying cold AC for a while now. What brand do you recommend I go for, or is it possible to service the thing?

    It's sold bro. I am running the T4R/ FJ setup now. Plenty of power capabilities all around.

    My dude! Where are you at?

    Just far enough that you’ll probably want to ship it. The factory fan clutches are pretty dang good considering that there are very few issues reported. However this could be an opportunity to go electric if you were so inclined. Can’t use the whole mechanical never fails argument here.
    Pm me on the fan clutch. It’s gathering dust and I could probably get it to for shipping costs.

    edit: also sense you pretty much have converted to fj accessories, let me know if you need a stock fj radiator or alternator. I got you covered.
