Power steering cooler Install (1 Viewer)

[sledge916]

Hello All

Just finished my power steering cooler on my 96 fj80, the cooler is off a Tundra, my buddy gave it to me as he worked at a body shop, I think it was a trans cooler, anyway I removed the stock paperclip and got this on there, what cha think?

wow, cool. is it installed vertically? i am planning on adding a small cooler for my powersteering too. my hdj81 was converted from RHD to LHD and the pressure line was significantly shortened. no more paperclip cooler. because in its current orientation, the gerbox is close to the pump. i have to put a cooler, IMHO, to compensate for its shortened pressure lines. but i am planning to put it in series with the return line. i think yours is in series with return line because you are using clamps (low pressure line)? what is the other oil cooler i se on your rig?tranny?nice project.

What year tundra?

Nice job on this.

One of the first upgrades I would recommend to anyone that is going to do any amount of wheeling. Get rid of the stock cooler in front of the front cross member. Useless for anything beyond DDing an 80.

I like the I/O positions on this unit. Much better than the one I used.

Did it come with that L shapped bracket or did you make that?

I found it in my scrap pile, I have no idea where it came from

Where did you tie into the system?

Where did you tie into the system?

just remove the paperclip and just tie into those two lines, just copy stock configuration

in the spirit of keeping it Toyota i used a trans cooler off a 93 80 for the power steering
had to make a bracket for the right side and drilled the left side bracket to fit existing captured nuts

I have a second trans cooler ready to go with this in mind. Could you share more info/closer photos of the bits you had to change?
