If you go back a few post there is a pic of the fan and the box it came in. I got it at west marine for $30. It's a 4" fan and if you look on my switch panel on the dash I have it wired to a safety switch. Runs as needed. I put the safety switch on it cause my son likes to press buttons (2y/o lol) and you def don't want to run it when you're in deep water. When the engine is running you really can't hear the fan and when I'm parked you can def hear it on but it's not a big deal. Plus it reminds you it's on so you don't forget to turn it off.

I took a piece of galvanized steel flat stock and bent some tabs on the ends and fastened it to the frame. I drilled some holes in the frame and tapped it to fit some 10-24 screws. That hold one side and the other I just drilled a hole in the round frame tube. Worked out real well. So far so good and with the fan and heat shield I put under the seat it is notisibly cooler in the side area which is what I needed for my boy riding shotgun all the time.
Hope this helps.

Do you have any updated pics with the new wheels?
How is the ride with the HL kit? I am between this and the StrongMade...

I never got the new wheels. Riding out on the stock steel ones for now the HL lift is fine. No issues at all. I'm riding on 30" itp blackwaters and they only rub just a little bit when I turn it all the way.
