Owner Type Jeep 4k Radiator

[Mentis]

First, where is your location?
There are some shop that they called " pinoy surplus" spare parts from locally chop-chop vehicles, you'll find it more cheaper than the usual surplus spare parts.
Secondly, when I still had a jeep like yours they charged me 700 pesos for the repair. So, i can say that 350 is a great bargain.
The usual price you can get for a surplus radiator is roughly 2k up to 3k depends how you bargain.
Lastly, take some local friend to bargain for you.
Goodluck!

Sorry I forgot to mention, im in Cebu, currently in Toledo on the east coast, but always crossing the hills to visit my dad in Consolacion.

Particle X, I'm struggling to find any supplier that sells radiators, i dont really understand what kind of store you need to go to here to get a radiator. It's not something an automotive parts store sells. They just look at me with a disgusted face and tell me WALA, with no hint as to where I might try, just point their lips to the sky and nod their head as if to say, "move away from the store sir"!!
I do like the idea of a plastic tank though!

Things are very hard to find here. Everything is just re-used and repaired, but never repaired properly.
Everyone drives around without radiator caps and just fills their radiators with tap water as it evaporates or spills out, causing a build-up of lime that you wouldn't believe is possible.
I took my 4k apart and did the rings, head gasket, valve seals and carby, and in the process, i found the cylinder head was 100% clogged with lime. no water passage at all.
Also, the head gasket taht was on there did not have all the holes stamped in it for water to get from the water jackets into the head on cylinders 2 and 4, proving the mechanic just threw a head gasket on without checking that it was appropriate.

Hey Mentis, they see me and my white skin, and the price doesn't budge, hahaha.
Unfortunately Ako Uyab is not experienced enough to ask for the part that I need. Whenever we try that, its a disaster, we end up with the wrong part and no possibility of a return. Not to mention I dont like the idea of using her to save me money.

Side note:
I even had an automotive parts store here in Toledo try to sell me a 60 PHP fuel filter, for 180. When i asked Pila Ni, they all looked at each other as if to say "wow how much are we going to F*&k this guy". Then when he said 180, the girls with him laughed and smacked his bum. The most disgraceful attitude.
