Hey guys, Im finished mounting up my roof rack, and I want to do a baja / trophy truck rear rad mount up there with shrouds, dual fans, one as a push under and one as a pull on top. I will be using exhaust tubing for the long lengths and flex marine grade for the bendy stuff. I will most likely be drilling thru the roof down into the cargo area with the tubing and running it under the jeep as well. Any thoughts/ suggestions? Anyone ran into problems before from rear rad setups? Also, Im putting a pic of the rack, I set it forward so I will have plenty of room, thanks for your input guys.

 

Anyone?

 

you dont want it up top that is alot of luid to push.... keep it level with the motor as you can.

i have seen people mount the gas tank inside and throw the rad where the tank is but I would not really suggest that.

just get an all metal 2 row or 3 row and never look back your cooling will be fine

 

If this is a stupid ? correct me, but isnt gravity your friend with coolant, the lines will be going almost straight down before getting closer to level with the engine right? Ive seen quite a few mounted almost where the rear seat is, and my original idea was to replace the rear cargo/ window area but thats more of a buggy idea and Im not down for coolant spraying potential passengers lol.

 

you can make a rear firewall, but you have to get the fluid up there yes?

 

this is a all show no go sort of thing i believe.

 

Thats true, never thought about that. Well if its not my rad itll be something my solar setup, my buddy is a solar tech and we are doing some cool stuff in the future! Also, a small inline pump would help upward fluid correct?

 

Not so much for me personally, I want a larger rad, I would like to use a lot of the cool outside air, the cargo area Im iffy on but still might do, and the fans are very loud to use inside of the jeep, also there is more dead air flow inside. Just wanted to bounce ideas off of you guys.
