Radiator rear install
Moved my radiator to the back using 1.75 exhaust pipe. Took a few days and lots of bending but it turned out really well! You cannot even hear the fan running and the heat difference is amazing!

I would also run a bead of weld around the end of the tubing where the hose meets....will help reduce the chance of the hose from sliding off the tube once the coolant is warm. I used t bolt clamps to provide additional clamping surface area.....generally constructed heavier than a typical hose clamp.

I am literally 15” from the battery and have ran 12 gauge wire from everything. So I should be good there. Good ideas on the air in the system. I did use a new
Uview 55000 airlift Vacuum system to bleed all the air out. It literally pulls 25 lbs of vacuum and the sucks the fluid thru filling the system to capacity. I used 5+ gallons. I talked to Gary From RED dot in Moab and the radiator they run are the same capacity I have now. So I have to think doing all this will definitely help on my heat issues Now my only worries is travel for my driver upper link. It will eventually hit the tube I ran. I am hoping it modifies itself with out issue. I did try and flex it tonight but I don’t have a high enough point. BONUS! I also installed 304 stainless, for the firewall, 1” ceramic matting and the Kevlar I had made as well to block the temps Also today with the radiator move I had to come up with a new configuration for the storage area and tools. So here are pics for those as well Building a new rig is rewarding, challenging and frustrating all at the same time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
