Had to relocate my cooler from grill to fog light.

"Here's mine mounted. Lines run directly to the stock quick disconnects..."

I mounted mine in the front grill at first and it looked very good...
but failed the temperature test.
Temps were 220ºF even driving fast on freeway.
So followed Jason's set up and advice and relocated it to the left fog light area. Now highest temps are 181ºF when moving,
and 200ºF if stuck stand still in traffic.

I am going to install a fan with thermostat to help with standstill traffic ventilation.
I will update and start a thread to show the results.

Pros: temps drastically lower than grill mount.
Cons: you have no fog lights and a permanent fog light fault code.

I ordered the vent grills for the right inner fender lining and dremel cut it to fit the left side. See pics.
