My 99 two door seems to have a slow leak from the plastic tank side on the drivers side by the air intake box, the hose seems to be bone dry but if I shine a light on the radiator it seems wet. Any way it's a stock radiator so i guess it's time for a replacement. I was trying radiator barn but looks like they shut down. I found this Spectra premium one on Amazon for $87 and the reviews seem ok but the sides are plastic again, it is also sold by Autozone.
Any of you here use them? I was hoping to see what you had to say about these. I was also planning on replacing the hoses, water pump and thermostat while I am at it.

It's hard to find a radiator for any vehicle made in the last 20 years that does not have plastic tanks. Spectra is a decent brand, made in China like all of the others, but better than other brands. For 87 bucks you can't go wrong.

If you buy it from autozone they give a "limited" lifetime warranty on it. I have one, seems fine, and my local autozone guys know me so anytime I have an issue with a part they swap it because of the warranty for me. In other words it's worth paying a few more dollars to not have to buy it again at least in my eyes and situation.

Just saw it on Autozone and they are having a 20% off sale so it comes to $88.98 shipped to my door with a life time warranty, can't complain about that!

I put a Spectra in my Jeep a while back, no issues yet.

I'm running a spectre in mine with no issues. Fitment is spot on.
