Here's how to get coolant to the rear mounted radiator. No bend method

So this hasn't been done before, neither has copper tubing never been done before. I just thought I would be different twice and use copper tubing to carry coolant between the ls and the radiator on this Jeep Truck. I do plan on wrapping the tubes inside the cab so It doesn't act like a foot warmer for the passenger. It would also be a good idea to make a fake floor, which admittedly is a blessing as it will give me room for another project I'm planning later. Ill get all this done in another "chores video" next month. for now, I need to get some hose clamps on all this and get it ready for tuning up the engine.

I used aluminum tube, and go with raising the floor. I did the wrap initially and it was still hot in the cab. Raising the floor took care of that. For grommets, I used 5/16 or 3/8th rubber hole split lengthwise to insulate the holes and protect the tube.

Great idea on the hose. I plan on building a false floor over the passenger feet. I'll have exhaust right under the floor too so I gotta do something

Excellent video! Im curious to see what you are going use to protect the radiator from firewood and parts and what not. Great work, I love it!!👍⭐️

I hope to be able to package all my parts and tools so they're locked down somehow but it's worth thinking ahead. I angled the fan up slightly in case it has to flow over toolboxes and a cooler behind it. That's about as far as I got tho

@@BlackAndBlueGarage I get it. I don’t know what others are doing. I like where you put the Radiator. It’s low and protected by the role cage. I was thinking maybe a framed piece of expanded metal from the top of the radiator straight down to the bed and secured. This may help prevent restricted air flow, and keep your ice cream from melting on your emergency grocery runs,😉

@@CounterproductiveproductionDIY that's not a bad idea

Where did you get that bead roller from and how much did it cost cuz that is cool I like that it's small enough that it won't take too much space

[@BlackAndBlueGarage]

Bead roller is just a cheap one on Amazon and I think I paid around 40 to 50
