*Removed the radiator grill, removed the car horns to prep for the trans. cooler install:

I decided that the current radiator is still good, for now, and so I opt'd out of replacing it today (though I had a OEM radiator on stand-by). Instead, I removed the 4 bolts and was able to clear enough room to install the trans. cooler. - I had to pull the radiator back, carefully without any damage to the fins, and fasten it with a bungee cord to keep it back far enough so I can reach down to install the cooler:

Found the ideal set up, that everyone seems to use, and pushed the provided zip ties through the ac:

As you can see here, you can get away with the install without removing the radiator:

I decided to connect the tubing from the radiator end and then guide it to the cooler to have a good length fit. Installed the inlet hose on the bottom and the outlet on the top of the cooler:

I already noticed a difference when I was driving around today and found that my temps were 30-40 degrees cooler

*Finally, a new pic without the cringe Amazon roof rack that the previous owner installed.
