Radiator design alternatives...

My '19 YXZ doesnt have the best radiator placement for vision out the back. Has anyone experimented w/ adding smaller radiators to the sides instead of the bulky central unit? Your feedback on efficiency and setup for dirt trails is needed.

Yeah, that stock radiator's a blind spot! It's a common issue.
Skip the hassle with the side radiators and go with a rear relocation kit.
That's what I did. It cleared up the view and it keeps it cooler in the cab.

A rear relocation kit sounds like a smart move for clearing up the view. Have you noticed changes in cooling efficiency or how it handles dirt trails after the swap? @jack.4wd

I've seen folks move radiators to the sides for better rear visibility, it can work if you get the right setup, but be careful about airflow and cooling efficiency. Smaller radiators can handle dirt trails fine if you mount them properly and keep airflow in check bu make sure to test temps under load

Got it. Have you seen setups where smaller radiators struggled despite proper mounting? Always good to learn from others' trials. @Brittke1

Relocating the radiator improves visibility and cooling, especially on trails. Kits like Hess Motorsports and ABF Fabrication work well but may require some modifications. Have you checked out any specific kits yet?

Yep, went with a sidemount radiator kit. Cooling's holding up fine and visibility's waaay better. @YamOutlaw
