ZJ trans cooler
I just picked up a ZJ trans cooler from the junkyard today ($15!). There's tons of posts regarding installation of other coolers, but I couldn't find anyone that installed a ZJ cooler. Has anyone here installed one on their XJ? If so, how did you go about it. I am familiar with which line to use.
Looks like I need some 3/8 line, barb adaptors and hose clamps. Am I missing anything?

Alright, I completed the install this weekend. I had to saw off the hook style bracket so I could fit it vertically. I ended up going with the zip tie mounts because I couldn't easily mount it anywhere else.

I ran it in line with the rad cooler (after). Overall, it was about $45 including the purchase of the cooler. Not much of a savings from a brand new cooler, but it was worth a shot. Also, on my 2000, the top trans line going into the radiator is my return line. I confirmed it by following it to the rear of the transmission. This is the return line according the service manual.
