New Member saying Hi from Perth
Hi Guys,
We have had our 2001 Solar Yellow TJ wranger soft top from New. Everything has been running great until recently,when our top tank split so we just installed a new Griffin Aluminium Radiator which is suppose to give us 400 more horse power. We now also need to get a new Lower Radiator hose but our dealer wants to charge us $100 for it. does anyone have any tips??? ARe the ones you get from the US the same or would there be a difference with them being Left hand drive over there, as our radiator needed modifications. WE buy a lot of stuff from the US, we have chrome and stainless steel bits all over our Jeep. Anyway we love our car and wouldnt change ot for anything in the world. We have driven from Broome and Back in our baby. well any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Cindy

welcome cindy, shows us a blinged up TJ
As far as lower radiotor hose prices go, they are cheaper from auto part retailers but I still payed like $60 for mine. ...WOW!!! "400 HP" from a radiotor, is that a misprint/typo/joke or BS or something, cos a supercharger wouldn't do that? LOL

I honetly dont know. So I guess we will find out LOL. They use these radiators in the nascars. Wether it is a Typo I am not sure
I rang repco and coventrys (about the hose) and they told me it was geniuine only. Maybe it is different over east. who do you recommend we try?
I will try and get some pics soon. we still need to get the bar work done but all of this cost $$$$ which we are going to spend on our car this year. SO when it is complete I will post some pics.
