Thanks for the ideas on the tranny cooler. I'll be using the FJ60's radiator that doesn't have an integrated tranny cooler. Since the diesel tends to run cool I just bought a 3rd gen (dodge cummins) tranny cooler that uses coolant. The idea is that the tranny will help warm up the engine. I'll definitely be running a temp gauge on the tranny and if it's running warmer than I'd like I will probably pick up one of those inline coolers like you suggested.
I'm planning to run the contour dual fans. I asked the 4bt guys about needing air flow through the intercooler (having one of the fans running all the time) but they said at idle rpms I'm not making any boost so cooling off the intercooler really doesn't do anything. I'm thinking of wiring them for on/off operation with one thermostatically controlled and the other for additional cooling (maybe for the a/c). That way i could turn them off at a stream crossing or deep mud hole. Plus since I'll have more shifters due to the doubler, I can get more switches to make the dash look important.
