There's so much conflicting info out there if you start reading about trans coolers. This one isn't anything too over the top - Hayden 678. I had the oem cooler installed on this jeep previously and overall surface area isn't all that much smaller. Temp gauge is definitely happening, but I'm not worried about it right now.

All mounted up. Few changes going on here - installed the ACOS up front and also swapped to some Metalcloak 3.5" coils, antirock, and went with 1 ton TREs for the steering. Long time coming, but this thing may actually be capable of being outside of the garage by the weekend.

Compared to the rest of the EXTREMELY CLEAN undercarriage yeah...I could see that ;-)
For most of us that's just camouflaged into the surface rust/dried mud of every other part down there.

I'm noticing a lack of pitman arm in that steering brace pic.. also appears to be a lack of splines on that output shaft. Would you perhaps be doing full hydro?

Pitman arm is there. Actually replaced it with a new one from Barnes 4x4. This one is longer to match the length of the high steer arm and also already reamed for a high angle 1 ton TRE. What you're probably looking at is the shiny new pitman arm nut used for the support brace
