    Ideally I'd rather have a front mount but there just isn't as much room as everybody seems to think there is. The way our frames are and the intercooler not having any room. Just started thinking about remotes today. But I will do a write up either direction I go.

    there is a thread on here somewhere about intercoolers in OBS trucks. try and find it pretty nifty. wont work for me though due to my big trans cooler i put in front of the rad. what im planning on doing is mounting my cooler under the bed or floor pan flat and making a scoop for it along with mounting 1 or 2 (depending on size) waterproof style fans on it. so it will kinda resemble a radiator setup. this will help force fresh air through it sine it otherwise wouldnt get any air being mounted like that. this obviously isnt as good as forced air from the front but i figure with the distance of the cold side to the intake along with the fans, it SHOULD be comparable. just an idea. thats my plan anyway.
    Like Tumbler in "Gone in 60" I'll drive anything with wheels or without
