Construction & Design:
The Mishimoto hose kit is built using a multi-layer silicone construction that combines flexibility with exceptional durability. Four layers of premium silicone material are reinforced with heat-resistant fibers to withstand the demanding thermal environment of the Jeep Wrangler’s engine bay. This design resists cracking, swelling, and degradation common with factory rubber hoses over time.
The lower radiator hose features a one-piece design that removes the weak plastic connector found on stock hoses. Instead, it incorporates a CNC-machined aluminum barb and mounting plate, providing a robust and corrosion-resistant connection point. This upgrade significantly reduces the risk of leaks and hose failure, especially under off-road or high-stress conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Mishimoto Silicone Radiator Coolant Hose Kit is straightforward and designed to be a direct replacement for the factory hoses. No special tools or modifications are required, and the entire kit can typically be installed in about one hour. This makes it an excellent upgrade for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
The kit fits a wide range of 2018 to 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL models equipped with the 2.0L engine, including Sport, Sport S, Rubicon, Sahara, Willys, and several special editions such as the 80th Anniversary, Freedom, Islander, Moab, High Altitude, and 4xe variants.
