Default Leaky radiator

So my 93 XJ has been leaking from both bottom corners of my radiator.

This is what I am losing every time I park the jeep.

I think the radiator is a factory one. For those that have done this themselves. I have a ton of tools and I have the know how. I have not done this repair on an XJ before. So my questions are:

1) How long does it take to replace it?
2) Is there any little details that I need to know about?
3) does anyone have a reliable parts source?

This thing is my daily driver. I work 6 days a week so I want to make sure that I can do this job in a day or so before tearing it down.

Replacing the radiator is easy. You should be able to do it in under 3 hours if you are taking your time and being really careful.
