Easy to do. The thermostat is behind the upper radiator hose neck. Unbolt that neck, and pull out the thermostat and put a new one in. Bolt it back up and top off the radiator. Done.

IIRC it's at the top of the lower rad hose. 3 nuts and you're done.

Gotta drain the coolant first, but it's at the block end of the hose....and it's easy.

Just be sure to use a Toyota OE thermostat (probably around $15) and a new gasket.
