There's a few ways of doing it.

1. Buy a Durango radiator cap and cut it into your upper read hose and add a overflow bottle from there.

2. Buy a newer style radiator with a filler neck, add an overflow bottle and wala done.

Yes, it is....and there are numerous alternatives....

I did it a few years ago, and it was one of the best upgrades I've done to the Jeep....
