A V6 radiator measures 23 9/16 from mounting tab to mounting tab (width). 22 7/8 top to bottom. The top of the radiator is 2 7/8 and 2 1/2 if measured in the middle of the side. Just measured the one sitting in my garage. Too lazy and it's dark out to measure the one in my 4runner.

hey an....thanks again.

for those of you who did not see the posting.....I met up with this guy ^^^^^^^last weekend to obtain some schtuff. would have liked to see your 4runner man, but the pics you posted are awesome nonetheless. thanks again. hopefully my thread(s) DO indeed help you out some, if not, you always have these guys to help too.

once again, thanks.

***********************

well...true to form, can't really ever catch a break. supposed to rain this weekend, wanted to take Joe's 4runner out cruising and I don't really feel like killing my already killed back lifting his top onto it....so I guess it's stuck in the garage.

started another project.....Brandon has seen it......it's a little trailer I bought about 7 years ago, and it has been sitting for at least the past 3 years.......thought the tires were rotten, but they are not. boys and I put it in the garage and stripped all the wood off of it since it really looked like hell anyway. took the wheels off and are sanding all the metal to hit it with a nice fresh coat of paint. this is all mainly because I need to get that engine lift back to my friend's house and have no real way to transport it because my truck is out of commission. so a few more hours of work on it and we should be good to go.

2ndly..........would like to at least get my truck up and running again, have to re-plumb the exhaust from the cat back and replace the driver's door.

3rd-ly.........the cadillac needs back brakes.....again, the garage guy warned me about it, and now it sounds like metal on metal....never did brakes before, wondering if it's worth my while to do this.

leak test complete. having a steady downpour all day today. 4runner sat outside for about 2 hours or so, no leaks.

brought it back in, was time to add some horsepower to it.

credit to Wab-Fab, KIYO for sending me stickers, the Baller for making stickers and Cody for making a sticker.

No cup-holder you say??

cup-holder mod complete.....even a place to mount the rear window control.

a $1 cheapo wooden hinged box, a ring from a large flashlight FIPG'd in place and the bottom from a Pringle's can wrapped in baseball bat grip tape.....small scrap of plywood screwed into the floor and this is screwed into that.
