Mine works good - but doesnt look factory! Are you going to leave your factory cooler in the loop? It is so far down on the condinser and there is a plastic thing underneath it, that it attracts leaves, mud, etc, and it not easy to get clean.
For anyone that drives an auto JK....clean the lower part of your condinser on a routine basis (it's your factory transmission cooler). You will need to pop off the grill to really get it good and clean.

I have many tools, but not a "double flaring tool". And I am not expierenced with a tubing bender....that is the main reason I went the rubber hose route

Are you planning on running a completely new line or are you going to splice one steel line into the other? Just curious. I prefer the steel too, but I have already purchased the braided steel hose and connectors along with the cooler a couple months ago, I just haven't installed them yet. ....mine also has the built in electric fan, so if blocking the radiator is a problem, hopefully the extra fan will remedy that.

I'm going to splice into the existing line coming OUT of the cooler. I'm not going to use compression fittings. I am going to use 3/8" flair fittings. The side coming out of the factory cooler will be the inlet for the additional cooler and the additional cooler outlet will be routed back to the transmission return line. Dammit, all of yall's questions are gittin me excited now. I wish my cooler would get here.

Lads I bought mine thru amazon, $46.00 including shipping- had it in 2 days. This cooler is the size of the factory condenser LOL. Yes Redneck I did splice it into the rubber flex joint in the original lines, not crazy about that but I wanted it in until I get enough time to do the lines right, I installed it Thursday on my lunch break at the shop.....
