radiator placement

[RocketMan]

here is my 2 cents, i think i'd put better lights on the truck so you don't hit BIG rocks @ night ,I'd also put a 1/4 thick plate on the truck cause if you run stuff over that punches holes in a 3/16 plate it must not be good enough and put a new radiator back in it in the front....before you open a can of worms with your cooling system....

I have to agree, Unless you are running a full race truck don't open that can or worms. Air pockets, long runs of cooling lines, it can be a mess. I would say ditch the aluminum skid plate. I had one on my full size Bronco and it took one hit and it was history. You should use 1/8 mild steel with good bracing behind and in the middle. I have one on my Bronco now and I have come off a jump nosed it in and it still works great.

Well I got my new radiator in today and decided it is getting moved to the rear so if anyone has any suggestions for in-line water pumps post up. Thanks
