Time for a new radiator at 94k, not too bad! Should I go 2 row (factory) or 3 row? Ive had no problems cooling with the 2 row, but just was wondering what other people thought Im doing hoses, thermostat, etc. of course...should I do a water pump while im at it, anyone know the estimated time of death on those on TJs? I may just replace it when im there!! Thankx guyz

A water pump isn't a ton of money, might be worth doing it when its all apart; it's not like you're paying someone to do it for you. Depending on the price difference, I'd get a 3 row.

do all places sell the same radiator, or are they all differet per the different retailer's specs/design? i mean will you get better quality with one place over another?

Some shops suck, some don't. My friend picked up a radiator for his TJ for around $100 shipped from radiator barn, he has ran it for a year with no problems.

100% stock with a custom body work (top is sawed off, and the back seats were cut out and a bed was fassened in its place.) its not a clean hack job by anymeans but it works.

i got my 3 row from 1800radiator.com, and I think radiator barn is the same company. it was around $200, and I can't complain about it. it is a cheap upgrade. if you really wanna, you can spend like $700 on an aluminum one! BLING BLING!
