Mine had a viscous fan, I removed it completly an then fit an electric fan. Easiest option for me anyway.

If your planning on using it for offroading electric fans are the way. you can switch them off before going into water or mud to stop them throwing water all over the electrics. If your running a link computer or the likes you can also hook them up to that so you can control what temps to turn the fans on and off.
