And what is the result? better A/C or better coolant temps? Before/after?

I will be trailing this weekend. I’ll let you know. I literally just installed it.
In general those fans won't help cool the motor.
They do keep the AC cooler in low speed rock crawling or setting in traffic.
I well also leave it running if I stop on the trail to help with heat soak under the hood.
I find it helps more if I turn it on when I start the trail instead of waiting tell shes getting hot.

Says who? I ran Fordyce and Rubicon with a rigged 93+ Radiator and a single 13" puller elec. fan from Napa.
220F ish avg on the trail. No shroud, no foam, no nothing... I did have 2 pusher fans up front running the entire time to help with additional cooling however. I wouldn't recommend doing that w/ the 1FZ-FE though!

except you. This thread is about a auxiliary fan and that’s what the poster installed
I’m sure that your system works but as the main fan it’s much bigger and your running two more in front.
Simply not the same.
The auxiliary fan people are using in front of the radiator are a smaller single fan
For reference my stock fan setup with a modified blue fan hub & 10% underdrive pulley keeps the ET down at 200* or below on the hottest and & hardest trails Fordyce,Rubicon etc., with AC blasting and the single auxiliary fan going.
I also said in general.

Won’t help with ET
What i was saying is, my auxiliary fan in the front of the coil was used to cool my AC , except it can be reversed. The only reason i was able to do a trail fix and continue was because my stock manual fan was broken when it made contact with the radiator. So what i was saying is, i would have been totally screwed have i not have 2 auxiliary fans up front for extra cooling, and i was able to use one of them to use it as a main radiator cooling fan.Most everyone

A small aux fan is great for low speed trail use for sure.......
