Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-WR6-97RD is a red silicone radiator hose kit engineered specifically as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler 6-cylinder. Built to retain factory routing and connections, this kit swaps out aging OEM rubber hoses for a high-grade silicone construction reinforced with heat-resistant embedded fibers, giving your cooling system a durable, performance-oriented upgrade without altering the original fitment.
Mishimoto designed this Cooling system component to handle higher pressures and temperatures than the stock rubber hoses it replaces, with a maximum temperature rating of 330°F. Classified as a Performance grade, specific-fit hose, it’s built to efficiently manage heat in the cooling system while adding a distinct visual upgrade under the hood—Mishimoto silicone hoses are also offered in black, camo, and olive drab for owners who want to match a particular build, though this listing is the red version. Every Mishimoto silicone hose kit is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty, giving you confidence in a long-term cooling system upgrade rather than a short-lived fix.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto silicone radiator hose kit is a direct fit for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler 6-cylinder lineup. Coverage spans the Jeep Wrangler SE and Jeep Wrangler Sport from 1997 through 2006, the Jeep Wrangler Sahara from 1997 through 2004, the Jeep Wrangler X from 2002 through 2006, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon from 2003 through 2006, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited from 2004 through 2006, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon from 2005 through 2006, and the Jeep Wrangler 65th Anniversary Edition for 2006. Because the OEM lower radiator hose length varies across these model years, some trimming may be required when installing the Mishimoto lower hose.
