2 row minimum. 3 row if you plan on wheeling it.

I prefer looking local....warranty issues via mail order/internet are a hassle to me. A OE stock type rad can be bought at most local auto parts stores for +/-$110. A little research will show that most modern design rads are single, very wide row, aluminum cores.

This is what I did. I picked one up at autozone 4 years ago and never had a problem with it and if I do I just go to the closest one for a new one.

A good radiator read. Going off-road doesn't always require a "Internet" radiator.
