Good Replacement Radiator?

My 2007 JK radiator has a major leak, and I think I want to just replace it instead of fix it as it's got 105K miles on it.

I can't seem to find much out there with people's experiences with replacement radiators. I see aluminum/plastic and aluminum/aluminum. I'm not looking for a performance once that costs $500, just a really good replacement that might be better than stock. There are a bunch on Quadratec, just looking for personal experience.

Thanks!

I looked into replacing mine a while back. I think I did an internet search, can't remember the company now, but they make radiators for everything, up to 4 core. The factory is 2 core, I was thinking at least a 3. If I remember right, and I will check, but I think there was a replacement radiator in one of my 4x4 mags, might have been JP

rockauto.com, under $100 plus shipping. I've bought many parts from them the last few years and have never been disappointed.

rockauto ONLY carries the radiator. No water pump, no insulators, no drain valve, no reservoir tank, no seals or gaskets and the thermostat is twice the price as other places. I'm looking to do it all at once since my 2007 has 150k miles and I'm not positive which was the problem child. I can't seem to get parts from anybody in a reasonable period of time.

I ordered from wermopar.com. They have one shipping option - FEDEX 2 day $50. I ordered last Tuesday and they are still processing my order (5 days later). They said once they finish processing it will be shipped via 2 day. if that isn't bull**** I don't know what is.

Any other ideas? Thanks

Rock auto has water pumps and gaskets. I purchased one from them about a month ago, and it was crazy cheap, so much I kept the core. Also I got my t-stat at the local autozone for a couple bucks.

Just buy a stocker and leave the top retaining bolts loose on the isolater pads. Use blue loctite to hold the bolts from backing out further. I run a stocker Jeep rad to cool my Chev powered Jeep with no issues but run a mother of a fan - a 2015 Camaro SS unit. I swear that fan on full speed would pull the Jeep along the road
