Nope ... they aint .... seem to work reasonable tho.

Theres nearly more polystyrene in the box than radiator. Be careful picking the foam off the fins if they jammed it in the box before the paint dried ...

Good Aussie stuff too ... proudly made in thailand ...

Have a good look at the mounts & grommets when you refit the radiator.

If broken, the lot can move forward and flap against the already flapping oil cooler and you can end up with an aircon leak.

The top ones separate like an engine mount and the bottoms ones wear letting the locating pins rub on the bodywork ... which could lead to radiator electrolysis & rotting out .... an aluminium radiator problem mainly tho.

Jeep is finally home...

initial impressions are good but there is a bit of things that need work.
the car already has headers and exhaust, it has the soundbar and roof console with compass and temp which which is good.. no central locking remote though.

Fitted a set of new yokohama g12s in 235/75/15 which i chose because they were $50 cheaper each than the bfg's i was looking at.

new radiator seems to work well, but i need to check if the electric fan kicks in (need to lookup the temp it should kickin) temp driving home last night on fwy was at 1/4 hasnt hit half yet but did heat up close to half idling today.

not happy though i saw excess oil on the lines near airbox and ended up breaking the 90deg valve things on the rocker cover so now i need to replace both of them as the gromets were RS anyway. (where is the best place to get them?)

also need to dump out transfer case fluid and replace as it doesnt want to seem to go into 4x4Low.

and i have some rust in the right rear passenger floor im going to have to work out how to fix. i think its caused from heat off the exhaust muffler box underneath it.

apart from that it seems to be good haha

PS this thing has like 12 interior lights....insane!
