My '87 XJ is sporting the original brass radiator. Which is pretty phenomenal at 260k. My dad has already brazed one pin hole.. and now its leaking in another spot. 4 hours away where my parts jeep is I have the newish looking radiator that came from it, I already installed it on my jeep once only to realize it has a hole somewhere in one of the cross tubes that only reveals itself at engine temp.
I was planning on getting that radiator repaired.. I've had a couple radaitors repaired in teh past and it has always held. The guy I've used typically charges about $45 or so.
However I spotted these radiators on ebay.. I see that they are two row.. which I assume both of mine are.. I know you can get a three row.. and I also see that the ebay radiator has plastic tanks.. :fuse: However for the price... surely it'd last for a few years..

(yes I know the shipping is like $30.. but radiators probably aren't real cheap to ship)
