I'm running B&M 70266. 11x8x1.5 NPT threads, installed hard lines like redneck's writeup. You can see my results https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...-Install/page4 . I recommend hard lines, gives a lot more piece of mind and a much more trick install, although definitally demands more time and effort... my 2 cents. BTW the B&M design is apparently much more efficient, and seems nearly bulletproof to road debris because of it's robust design, there are no fragile fins to get clogged and bent like other styles.

Awesome thread! Especially since a trans cooler will be one of my must-do, near future mods.
