Default Radiator Install?

How difficult is a rad swap on a 94 Cherokee Sport?
The last radiator I changed out was about 20 yrs ago on a 73 GTO.This one looks very involved. Also best price I've found is 129.99 O'Rieleys, AZone 139.99.
Going home, I'll check tomorrow. Thanks!!!

ahhh the Goat. It is easier than you think, If you have simple tools and a torque wrench for the fan bolts. Search your radiator more. I found one for a hundred bucks and I only searched for a few minutes. Good Luck

P.S. go with a 3 row.

They are very easy to do . Took me about an hour from start to finish on my 96. Never removed the fan. Remove the radiator support bracket on top and thats the hardest part .Everything else comes out easy. Unbolt your fan shroud and slide it back towards the motor ,unhook your hoses, pull out electric fan . Its not bad at all. Good luck.

Sorry I never have time to get in here. School, Work and Music keep me occupied.
Well the Radiator install went pretty well, It did not go back in perfect but it works fine and no leaks. Nice to not have to spend $10 a gallon for anti freeze all the time.
New hoses and clamps also. I have another issue. I'll put it on a new thread.
