radiator replacement

Hello all,
I was wondering if you guys can think of any other part I
should replace while I have the radiator out?? My current
rig is a 95 4runner v6. Thanks for the input : )

I would change the hoses, the belts, and the thermostat if it has not been changed in a while. Go with a genuine Toyota thermostat. I would recommend using Toyota red antifreeze and distilled water, also. With the radiator and thermostat out, put a garden hose in the upper hose and flush the engine out good. Then flush it again after it is back together to get the old coolant out of the heater core.

Those belts are a whole lot easier to replace with no rad in the way!
