For the OP how is gravity going to to help a closed pressurized system ? As well with a decent fan/clutch combo, and 180 thermostat and good water pump you will be running 185 to 197 under normal conditions even with a stock rad. That is kinda of the sweet spot for these trucks.
On mine if I work it hard up hill and it gets to over 200 the clutch kicks in and coasting down hill I hit 180 -181 for about a a klic, then back to normal at 188ish. That is with a Nissen's rad of unknown age and the same with water pump. If I could get a good well made higher capacity rad I would consider it, but I would not buy any cooling system part of doubtful manufacture for any aluminium engine that is just asking for trouble. And yours sound pretty iffy to me.

Keep bashing the guy for moving his business because it's inconvinient for you too.
For someone that's always putting down people who shouldn't own Land Rovers because they can't work on them...sounds like you need help working on yours??
Maybe it's just me...maybe it's karma??
