Seems like those radiator dimensions might be a tough find.
This one is 22" wide x 19" high, could probably rake it back to fit.

The one I run is 27" x 13" tall. If you changed up your front hoop situation it might fit.

Dodge Durango's had a hose mounted remote fill cap. Hit the junkyard.

looking good!
You are going to want more than just those 4 tabs holding your radiator, I would build a cradle for the lower tank to sit in and then make one for the top as well then line them with some rubber or foam.
I learned the hard way and broke a radiator mounting it like that

Got a bit done on the buggy this past weekend, switched tires around, that and running to SLC for some coils for the coilovers (Thanks Lance!!!) took up about half the day.
I got the grill mounted, and got the cross bar between the shock hoops built.
You may have noticed the gap between the grill and hood. After mounting the grill, I built the cross bar. It is actually holding up the hood so it doesnt mount flush anymore. Trying to decide if I want to cut the hood more to bring it back down, or just move the grill up...
it gotta be in a roller this week

I'd move the shock hoop crossmember down and forward if possible. It'll give you a better view angle and close that gap and the hoops could stick up through the hood like planned.
Got some more work done on the buggy last night, I was trying to get it into a roller, but didnt have some of the parts needed. Got all the links and brackets welded in place, as well as some bracing built and welded in for the front hoops.
Waiting to finish up the drivers side until I see where the pedals are going to sit... Speaking of pedals

Getting closer! Any plans to further reinforce that section where you notched the frame?

i am probably wrong but .. since hes linked the notched part of the frame is probably plenty strong how it is
