J, what radiator did you end up using, and is it working good? The Raider is running a bit hot and I want to get the right one to rod out...
Thanks.

Jon, I backflushed mine and soldered up a leak myself. It's been working good since, but I still want to replace it. I replaced the fan clutch and that made a big difference. I also rigged an extra switched AC fan for crawling.

Ok, I've got to do something. Thanks. I'm trying to find the thread I started on mine to lay out the initial impressions of the black one.

I'm not a native English speaker, so maybe blueprint was no the best word to use :P Well, what I wanted was some measurements, some instructions on how to build the mountings so it is stronger than the factory bumper, and maybe some kind of diagram. Looks good. I'll give it a try when (and if) I have the time. Blue print:
Buy 2"x 5" tube, 2" x 2" tube, cut and bend, weld. Use your truck as a template to adjust to your measurements. Use 2" wide flat bar stock to box up the openings. Use angle iron for the mounts to the frame. Order some shackle tabs from a fab shop and weld those on.
Grind, then grind some more, sand, primer, filler primer, light sand, paint black.
Thats pretty much it in a nutshell. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
Not laughing to be an <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> I just dont have any blue prints as I've pretty much just winged it using my 89 as a mock up to ensure a good fit. Hope this helps, the progress pics should give you a good idea

Jon, I'm out on a training op in the desert right now. I meant to take the pics before leaving but things got a little messed up when I had to get a new garage door put on at thevlast minute. Hopefully I'll be able to sneak home and take a pic for you soon. J, you back at the house? Any chance of a pic of that frame notch? If not, no problem. Whenever you get around to it... Thanks,

OK jon here are the pics of the frame notch finnally: Overall view cut an L shaped notch in the front of the frame horns. This retains the stock captive mounting bolt holes on the sides of the frame rails. ![[Linked Image]](http://homepage.mac.com/zone1wst/.Pictures/wheelin/framecut1.jpg) side view cut 1 3/4" back : ![[Linked Image]](http://homepage.mac.com/zone1wst/.Pictures/wheelin/framecut2.jpg) Front view: cut 1 3/8" down: ![[Linked Image]](http://homepage.mac.com/zone1wst/.Pictures/wheelin/framecut3.jpg) Dont forget this is for the 2" body lift. PLH you will need to cut strait down since you have no BL.
