Default Radiator -- recommendation or suggestions?

Hello everyone,
i have an 01 xj that I'm going over the whole cooling system. Does anyone have a radiator they can recommend or suggest? I've been reading reviews online and many people have had fitments issues having to modify it or it not being a direct fit. Just either share a link or drop a part # of a radiator you have bought and used which you recommend.

Thanks in advance!

Here's the one that's most recommended. Lifetime warranty. Comes out to like <$85 to your door.

I have the one from advance auto parts and has been fine since. no problems at all. I would go with any of the OEM equivalent or an OEM one from the dealer.

AutoZone has a lifetime "in store" warranty if it should ever fail.

Well looks like I'm going to be going with this one A friend of mine just recommended it and I'll give it a try. Has anyone had experience with it? Also looks like I'm going to be going with a flowkooler water pump, would I need a different thermostat other than the 195 that's currently on there?

I know a guy with a radiator shop that sells radiators made in Canada. Cost slightly more than Chinese but they are high quality stock replacement. Not sure what brand name they are sold under.

Thanks for the link. That is a decent price on all aluminum. I am close to needing another radiator myself. Those plastic tanks on the cheaper rads always seperate eventually. I am on my second in about 6 years. Second was a freebie replacement, but still a hassle.

Those Autozone rads to my knowledge are Limited Lifetime, I think its like 2 years or so.. Double check if thats the route a guy goes, cause those plastic tanks will leak eventually.

The one I picked is a 2 row, if you want a single one it's cheaper. Also all aluminum. I figured the difference in price was worth the upgrade.
