I heard they fit, maybe a bit smaller as I tried one in the XF. but you have to blank off the recovery tank hole in the middle.

just looked and the ute is a 1994 buld so does this mean it should have the same radiator as eb ed ef el?

I tried to put them in but the fans were too big for the radiator, so I installed an EF-EL radiator but to do that I had to change the mounts a bit and you have to block the small pipe in the middle on the drivers side.

As to the use of an EF/EL radiator, I couldn't see why it would not be possible? The mounts at the bottom of the radiator are the same on the XG, XH. EF/EL, ED.

I moved only the Passenger side mounts as the bottom mount supports the tank I moved it further out then welded the top to suit as its 60-80mm or so wider very easy 10-15 min once the radiator is out

You would need to weld in a EF or EL radiator support panel, and the you might aswell convert to a XH front. Ash Cook did this with his XF ute.

Why Weld that in you just move the standard top bracket over?

The bits you need to do that are rare and cost a lot if you can find them.

I suppose it really depends on the person then. make a decision on weather you want to spend time looking for the parts etc. But its not like XH ute where a limited model. there should be heaps of panels out there. If you where looking for a XH XR front bar I would agree with you on it being rare but thye made 10's of 1000's oh XH utes
