Key Features:

Engineered for durability and reliability, the Mishimoto Silicone Radiator Coolant Hose Kit offers several key advantages over stock hoses:

• Constructed from four layers of high-grade silicone and heat-resistant fibers for superior strength and flexibility
• One-piece lower radiator hose design eliminates the plastic connector found on stock hoses, reducing potential failure points
• CNC-machined aluminum barb and mounting plate replace fragile plastic components for enhanced longevity
• Direct-fit design ensures easy installation without modifications for 2018–2021 Jeep Wrangler JL 2.0L models
• Available in black, providing a sleek, OEM-plus appearance that complements the engine bay
• Resistant to heat, pressure, and coolant chemicals for long-lasting performance
• Backed by Mishimoto’s Lifetime Warranty for confidence and peace of mind

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.

What's Included:

• Upper radiator hose (silicone)
• Lower radiator hose (one-piece silicone with CNC-machined aluminum barb and mounting plate)
