Changing your radiator is a fairly simple task. But...before you spend $ 200.00 for a new one I would have have your original one examined by a radiator shop. The two most common problems are clogged passages and leaks. A competent shop can boil out the crud, repair any leaks and repaint you original radiator for less than the cost of a new one. I just had my original 1989 Wrangler radiator reconditioned for $ 90.00 . Whether you choose to repair or replace the removal and installation is fairly simple. Be careful not to twist the hoses too hard when removing or you might damage the solder connections, I always use a razor knife and cut them off. Replace the hoses / clamps and thermostat while you are at it if it's been awhile. Use a 50/50 solution of antifreeze / water and you will be good to go. You can do this, just take your time and have confidence in your abilities.
