Now that is a Roo bar

Looks like those alloys would allow a bit of air flow through as well, and more so than a stock steely.

If cooling is affected it must be so minute that it cannot be detected on the temp gauge. I've monitored temps quite carefully having been skeptical myself. I must say with my set up the tire is not mounted so close as to smother the front grill leaving space for air to flow around the tire.

Thanks ericos_bob. Scooby conversion is one way I'm thinking of going so this is 2X useful. Thanks also for other ideas.
