The lower part of the XJ radiator is held in by 2 rubber grommets into holes in the brace underneath it. No bolts, There are about 10 bolts on the brace on top of the radiator. *note you do NOT need to take the front trim off the jeep the brace unbolts from it. The fiberglass piece with Jeep written on it actually cannot be removed easily at all.

if it is an auto, i would make sure that you get the info on the tranny cooler... I have never done a radiator on an auto. i think you just have tranny fluid drain out from the lower chamber, and then top off the tranny when you are done with the swap. so if it is auto, get a quart of tranny fluid too! I did the radiator in the omni back in november, when I pulled the auto tranny lines, only a little atf came out (little as in a teaspoons worth) most of the atf seaps back intoth e tranny when no pressure is in the system cause the radiator generally site higher than the tranny.

I want to thank everyone for the advice and offers to help! I am going to order the raditatior from radiatorbarn.com today. I will also line up all the other needed items as well. I hope to have it all very soon. Perhaps I can shoot for a week from this Saturday. That would be 4/23. Once again, thank you all very much. With the money I save, I can justify the lift kit! Thanks again. D.

Thats exactly how it worked on the XJ too.
