Looks great! Are those fans thermostatically controlled? If so, what did you use and what temp are the thermostats set to?

Fans turn on 81 degrees and off 80...it's a kit that I bought from coolerguys.com
The kit comes with 120v conection. however, I bought an adapter for 12v...these fans are usually used for media and electronic equipment. this is my second kit from them, the first one was used to cool the refrigerator rear compartment.

No. It appears to me it can be seen where it is, but just not easy to see. My bet s if you get stopped the officer will just tell you to relocate it. I think if you were given a citation, it would only be a fix-it citation.

If you relocate it, there is a good chance you will sometimes forget to put it back on the truck. Then you will have no license plat to show. Don't ask me how I know. The design of my TC forces me to move the plate.
