From online radiator guy,
"I hate to do this and lose a sale, but your best bet would be to seek
out
some sort of Baja racing cooling system. We don't carry anything that
would stand up to the extreme conditions you'll be driving in.
I'd be more than happy to provide you with an OEM 2-core radiator (you
can't go with a 3-core due to the fan clutch) and all associated
components.
If I can be of any additional assistance, please let me know.

Re: Back after 2 yrs. Radiator question
Ditch the engine driven fan and go with electric. You will save needed low
end horsepower, all that room, and remove the danger that a hard bump will
flex the fan into the radiator when off-roading.
Aluminum radiators are lighter and transfer heat better. First quality ones
are also very expensive.
Then you add in the electrolytic action when steel and aluminum meet either
in direct metal to metal contact or via the coolant and the choice starts
getting a lot more complex.
How will you mount it so there is absolutely mo metal to metal contact?
Are you willing to replace coolant annually or sooner?
There is a reason race cars use them... well... 2 reasons... saved weight on
the nose and cooling capacity. Durability doesn't matter as long as the
cores will last a 500 mile drive one afternoon.
