Better than OEM but not as nice to look at as the best out there ***Update***
This radiator appears to have a stock core but with aluminum tanks welded on. From the factory the core is aluminum, just as this one, but the tanks are plastic and crimped on. There is a rubber gasket sealing the tank to the core. On this one the tanks are aluminum and appear to be TIG welded to the core. I say appear to be because they welds are not great looking, They look perfectly adequate just not the uniform "stack of dimes" normally associated with TIG welds from a skilled welder. I don't anticipate it being any problem at all.The mounting brackets appear to be steel painted to match and not aluminum. This again will not affect the performance of the radiator but in time they likely will not look as nice as when new.Overall I feel this radiator will eliminate the issue of leaks from between the core and the plastic tank's gasket. The price also wasn't a lot more than on OEM style radiator. It is a lot cheaper than some aluminum radiators out there but it shows in the craftsmanship of the welding. Again, I don't anticipate the welding to cause any failures, but they are not as aesthetically pleasing as welds done by a skilled craftsman as you would likely have from a more expensive radiator. Functionally though, there will likely be little to no difference.The last thing I want to mention, and if the price and craftsmanship don't tip you off already, is that this Radiator is Made In China. Most OEM replacements are made there or in Taiwan also so it's not a cut on the radiator itself. Just more for informative purposes. I expected this to not be made in the USA so I'm not disappointed, but people should know this before hand so that if it is important to them, the can make their decision accordingly.If you are looking for an OEM replacement for your Wrangler but would like to get rid of the plastic tanks, so long as you don't have a show Jeep this should work perfectly.Lastly, if there are any fitment or reliability issues I will update this review.*****Update*****This is just a quick update. The radiator is installed and in use. So far so good. No leaks at all and it pressure tested good. The radiator fit into the Jeep just fine but one bolt hole location for the fan shroud was off. The lower captive nut on the drivers side is not in the correct location for my fan shroud. Because of this I only used 3 bolts for the fan shroud. If I thought it was going to be a problem I could have drilled the mounting bracket to accommodate the 4th bolt. I really don't feel it will be an issue at all but I wanted to mention it any way.So far I'm still very happy with the radiator for the price and performance.Once again, if any issues arise in time I will update this again.******Update******I stated that if any issues arose I would update this review. An issue has arose and all is not well.The radiator has begun to leak. It appears the leak is from one or more tubes where the tube enters the tank. I have not yet pulled the radiator to find the exact place of the leak. Part of the reason I have not yet pulled the radiator is another reason I have dropped the rating to a single star. Shepherd Auto Parts doesn't have them in stock.I contacted them directly via e-mail and they were pretty responsive. They asked where I bought it. I told them Amazon and they requested the invoice number. This took a few days and at the end they stated they did not have a replacement in stock. I'm not sure why they made me go through all of the trouble of telling them where and when I bought it when they had no way to warrant the item. I then asked how to proceed. In my opinion the correct thing for them to do would be to order me one from where ever they get them. At the very least they should have asked for proof of the failure (picture or what not) and then told me they would contact me as soon as they got them in stock again. Instead their answer was to call back in a couple of months and see if they have them. So, if they get them back in stock, but then sell out of them before I call in, I have to wait again? I would think warranty would take precedence. Also, when I first contacted them the leak was fairly small, it have gotten worse in the last couple of weeks and I can no longer wait on a replacement.Because of this I had to order a radiator from another source (still amazon but a different manufacturer). This radiator was supposed to have a lifetime warranty. A lifetime warranty is no good if you cannot get a part to replace the old one. I will likely hold on to the broken one until they get them in stock again and exchange it. At that point it will become a spare I will hold on to for if I ever need one again in the future.I was hoping this would be a quality product and the last I would ever need to buy. I guess that was not to be.

good bang for buck
ended up returning the ring.Pros:- cost- look- free gift and pouch- coated in gold so you don't have to worry about finger stainsCons:- size. if I would have measured using their guide, it would have been even bigger than the already too big ring I received. luckily, I've bought rings similar to this before from amazon and sized it according to another ring that fits the same finger. this was still too big though.- the forehead of the skull is elongated and it makes it look very goofy. this isn't really shown in the pictures because the skull is always angled upward. it could just be for larger versions (size 10) but none the less not what I was going for.Overall:decent product, good bang for buck, just really inaccurate sizing and the look is slightly off on the forehead on the bigger rings at least, which for me was a deal breaker

BEA-utiful!
I love, love LOVE this ring. When purchasing a wedding band for my husband his specifications were: It has to be black with rounded edges.He is an auto-mechanic and firefighter and this ring has lasted (with no visible scratches) yet! It's still in pristine condition and fit well. It arrived early, and when I looked at it I was in love. The picture doesn't really do it justice.

Does the job. After six months they got very brittle. Because of the cheap price, I can afford to replace all of them each time I remove the door panel. Otherwise buy from dealer.

Definitely looks like a quality ring
This shipped very quickly! Product looks really nice- if I didnt know otherwise, I would think it was silver. Definitely looks like a quality ring :)

It's made worse when I extend my arms out straight in front ...
The cut of this garment is a bit off. It doesn't drape from my shoulders correctly. Instead of laying flat, the material tents slightly where the shoulder seam is; as if there's a bit too much material there. It's made worse when I extend my arms out straight in front of me. When I do that I can feel the tension of the material across my shoulder-blades; not a good fit.I can't describe the shirt as being too large or too small but it's tight and loose in the wrong places.
