Ok guys, so I've started building a new bumper on my Jeep, and well lets phrase it this way the project has grown... I have now removed my stock radiator because it hangs down to low. and I want more clearance than it will allow.
I've also remove AC, every last remaining inch of the factory bumper, plastic light holder. and other randoms
My grand Cherokees radiator comes with a transmission cooler, but with removing my stock rad I've lost it, so I'm going to install a B&M Tranny Cooler separate of the rad.
So heres my deal I've found basically the rad I want...
It's a Ron Davis Aluminum

* 28" wide x 19" tall
* Chevy double pass style outlets
* Dual fans
But the supplier is in Glendale, Arizona and to ship that rad to kamloops it would cost me $670 (not inclusing the $500(guess at price I never did get a quote and the prices are not listed) for the rad). So that's very much out of the question...
So Now I'm looking for a aluminum dual pass 28"x 19" Chevy style radiator. And a dual fan setup that will also be (less than or equal to) 28"x19"
They don't have to come as one piece I can buy them separate but I have no clue were to look, and the parts guys at Lordco always look at me like I'm crazy so I've given up asking them to do research If I have a part # I'll tell them to order it but that's it.
So my question is were would a guy call to get a radiator of this type within the BC border. preferably the Thompson/Okanagon region or the lower mainland.
OR what Aftermarket radiators from another vehicle make and model would match those specs?
I know that with the stock rads a Ford Taurus fan will work in my grandcherokee but I'm looking for a shorter fan.
this is why I'm swapping my old one out for a shorter one.
thats my AC condenser you see, but the rad is also damaged behind it. that's also why AC is leaving.
