That thing is sweet. Look into the aluminum radiators on eBay. They are oh so nice.

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

So the radiator. I just went to check out the situation, and its about a half inch too wide on each side to fit between the frame rails. So no dropping it down. I need a different one. Anyone got a stocker laying around?
Thats the first time someone suggested buying parts off of ebay. You are not being sarcastic? I'll check em out if not.

 

I dont think hes being sarcstic you can get some good stuff there sounds like you already know to BE CAREFUL

 

Is aluminum really that much more efficient? Seller states 30% cooler running engine.

 

If your engine is running hot, isn't that a sign of an issue that should be fixed? Shouldn't the stock radiator work just fine, if the truck is running as it should be? Anyway, just a thought...

Nice buy! That thing looks really cool.

 

No way not being sarcastic I buy and sell on eBay a ton. I think 4Crawler has one of those aluminum radiators if I remember correctly.

I agree, get a stock rad. and maybe a cooler stat or somethin.

 

Thanks guys. I was thinking about all these things too. Why would Toyota put something in their cars that wasn't efficient? I think I am going to get the stock turbo Rad, and I did notice the fan clutch needs replacing. Fan spins a little too freely with engine off. That could have been the previous owners problem, and there is no fan shroud on there now so who knows what he had going on before.
