pic request: 3rd gen t-stat

exactly what the title says. looking for a good pic of where the thermostat in a 3rd gen 4runner is located. ive read the writeup in the tech section, and spent 15 minutes out under the 4runner looking for it, and have had no luck. now i was outside with a flashlight, so that could have made a difference.

or maybe an extremely detailed description of where it is located.

(im replacing it with a 170* one...beginning of some small fuel mods; tranny cooler and smt 6 to come very soon)

Follow the lower rad hose to where it connects the block, thats the t-stat cover. It's held on by 3 bolts, one of which is hidden under cover. Some of the covers are plastic so be careful when tightening it. It's in the centre of these pics, by the dipstick
