That link doesn't work for me. Is there another?

Was please to unpack today and find all the accssories needed, which would have been a bit difficult to find here. My trust level with the Summit representative is low.

I ordered my B&M cooler from elsewhere since the brackets from Summit were not included,,, and at a lower cost.

Another option for you.
You can get a new-used Ford trans cooler from a 7.3 truck they fit perfect and are a stacked plate design so much better cooling than a tube and fin.
Or get a Trucool max long which is about the same size.

Thank you very much for a great write-up... I installed a cooler this weekend and it worked very well! No more HOTOIL warning on Jk 35'' 4.5 lifted.
