After installing a TNF plate bumper, I saw no changes at all. I use an ultragauge to keep track of temps.
Edit -
Prior to the work I was seeing up to 212 engine and (shudder) a max trans temp of 249. Only once (that I know of). Work to fix that began immediately.
Now I see engine temps of 188.6 all day on the freeway and 194ish under max offroad strain in hot ambient temp (4Lo OD off)
The trans temps now are at 155 freeway to 190/200 in the max off road conditions above.

Thank you for the detailed info!
It's interesting that you were seeing such high temps even with the stock bumper. I do have a new radiator/cap installed but maybe I should look into replacing the thermostat? I'll track the engine temps on the way up the mountain on Friday and that should shed some additional light on my situation.
Either way, it sounds like adding an aux transmission cooler is a no-brainer but it would be nice to isolate/fix any other issues that might be contributing to my high temps.
