Please forgive the pics quality first off- best of intent but liteing was bad and such but pic taker did the best he could!
U-Haul part # 13238 heavy duty cooler- cost $81.00
We did two CRD's so this is diesel specific but one can see what is going on and adapt to gasser.
Lift off the grills!
Front bumber and front hitch has to be removed- we used a CRD with lots of valance already removed as cooler (8.5X11X .75) gets stuffed in from the bottom.
Small trim cut on base of plastic that holds those ribs, behind said ribs. Rib 5 to inbetween rib 6/7
Looking to see fit- , some of the unit is behind that large cross piece but it still gets air/cooling
That brace holding fan gets 1/8th hole for rivet
proxy position- top of cooler gets brackets- bottom is held by tight fit and hoses-Mine has held for 50K miles already.
bracketing top of cooler to Jeep
here it is all bracketed
Next is looking UP from ground drivers side to left- stock hose to splice into is RETURN line from stock cooling as we are doing an Aux. the input line is behind my hand. We used little tubes with flair ends to keep the line from coming off
finish splcing/ cutting/ hose routing but now drivers side is to the right side if pic(sorry)
HTH-- it really is alot easier than it looks - but I recommend- get the biggest cooler you can fit and get a cooler made of steel as this takes a bit of moving/positioning.

would you know what diameter hose and connectors i should ask for ?......
