The champions are freaking hard to get a hold of!
I snagged a brand new one off ebay for $200 shipped....
That was a week ago and now I found some from a different seller and bought it as fast as I could....
I've found that the best way to find these things is to search "jeep cherokee all aluminum 3 row radiator" in ebay. The part number is CC1193.
According to ebay, there's still 5 left from the seller I'm buying from if anyone's interested. $209 shipped.

OK update, this thing is a piece of shit. I had to clearance the jeep to clear the adaptor for the transmission line and make a fitting for the upper line.
The deal breaker? Once you assemble the rest of the core support there isn't any room to turn the radiator cap so it comes off.....FAIL. Then as I wrestle with this piece of shit i notice my hands are turning silver because the cheap ass paint to make the aluminum look better is rubbing off on me lol.
It fits the jeep great, but if you plan on hooking up transmission lines or filling it with coolant than this is not the radiator for you!
I will say radiatorsforless.com seems to be great to deal with. He offered a refund before I opted to modify my transmission lines so I just sent an e-mail about this.
Man, you guys with the complaints about worn-out csf-3s and the champion make me want to ride out the 15yo stocker. I don't have to worry about tranny lines(AX15 for Life!), but would want to be able to take the cap on and off w/o any issues.
