I converted mine to electric with a 15" aftermarket fan mounted into the original shroud. Works fine, never had an overheating issue even in traffic or hauling the big trailer, but this is England, so probably a bit colder than where you live. If you haven't watched it, look at my Jeep stuff playlist.

just speaking from my experience, I messed around with the 3 10" fan setup from FFdynamics, ended up having issues with their control module melting relays and not keeping the jeep cool in general. perhaps your fan is better, and it may be a viable alternative if the right fan is used instead of that set up my kit had. what is the temperature like where you are at? here in Louisiana somedays we see 100F+ and its usually very humid. our average temps are around 70-80F though

100F is rather unusual here, perhaps 90F on an exceptional summer day. But pulling a 2.5 ton trailer through the Welsh mountains on a hot day can be a challenge, even for the stock setup. Looks like your control thingy is just a poor design, i use the signal for the stock electric fan via an extra relay to switch my fan. Not sure if the LHD version is the same, but the RHD model got the visco fan, plus an electric one behind the trans cooler which also comes on with the A/C. Correct shrouding is essential to get good and efficient air flow, that's why i use the original shroud and a 160W electric fan which is as big as the belt driven one, also the blades are much more efficient and quieter than the bent sheet metal of the stock visco fan. I don't think that 3 x 10" fans can move as much air as the stock electric + visco replacement fan, just calculate the effective open surface area (don't forget to subtract the fan hubs) and you'll see that this can't work, most of the radiator is just covered by plastic. I am not saying that my version is the one and only solution, but it works perfectly for me, over 5 years by now....and last but not least, it saves some fuel, too.

What kind of headlights do you have? They are pretty cool.
