Greetings all,

So I felt the oil was probably not as cool as I would like it to be so I decided to buy a cheap oil cooler kit off Ebay and give it a shot. I am pleasantly suprised at what a good kit it is!

The kit came with everything necessary, although to make it work for my application I ended up shortening one of the hoses and changing the fitting from a straight fitting to a 90* swivel. I didn't take any pictures of the kit but included a pic from the auction I bought it from. Seems to be a knockoff of the Lingenfelter kit although I don't know who came up with the design, seems to work well though.

I made 2 brackets to mount the cooler which I welded to the main engine crossbar and located it on the passenger side, basically where the A/C would be, but at this point I'm not pulling the motor to try and get Renegade's crooked ass bracket to work right, so an oil cooler works well there!

I may build a small scoop and rock guard for it, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it! The kit also uses pretty big -10 AN lines so between the lines and the cooler it added about 1.5 extra quarts of oil so I'm pretty happy about it.

If you've got any questions just let me know!
Thanks
J
