Since I had the bumper and grill off for my winch install, I figured it would be a good time to add that tranny cooler i've been needing. Picking a tranny cooler is a challenge in itself. I went with a B&M Hi-Tek SuperCooler 70297. It has a built in thermostat that switches the fan on when the transmission fluid reaches 175 deg. I liked the fact that I didn't have to wire any switches or add anything. There are several schools of thought about which way to plumb the external cooler. I decided to go through the radiator 1st and then through the external and back to the transmission. I used brass fittings and 3/8 rubber transmission hose. I didn't modify anything that can't be put back to stock if something goes wrong. I used 1x1 angle iron as mounting brackets. This is a super easy mod that needs to be done if you run larger tires, pull a trailer, or haul heavy loads. Heat is your transmissions enemy. I've had my transmission slip after pulling a trailer loaded down with 4-wheelers and RZR's. I've also had it slip on me after 4-wheeling for awhile in the summer time.
