Yes it has 4.88's and supercharger, so it jumps pretty good.

Here's the old rad

I took the headlights out to get the upper radiator bolts out so now that means I might as well put the depos back in so next up will be figuring out the bulbs and getting them in
Just changed my radiator out, looked about like yours. My temp gauge stays right in the middle all day long. I was surprised how good my oil pressure is with 175,000 miles. My idle is too low and needs some help but even at 400 RPM's the gauge stays a 1/4 way up. After changing out the front main seal, distributor O ring, and oil pump cover O ring, no drips under the 80 except I do have a little tranny fluid leak. Thinking about changing the transmission filter so hopefully it's a leak around the pan.

Good to hear on your radiator. I'm glad to put worrying about my old one behind me
Transmission filter is not changed out. You remove, clean and put back in.
Nothing else. It is metal mesh.
@dogfishlake what's the story with the diesel fan clutch ? I'm getting ready to do my cooling system before a road trip. Want to get all my parts ordered up soon. I had planned on just getting the Aisin blue hub from rockauto.

It's to fix the problem with having to run the 3fe ringed fan with the trd supercharger. With the orange hub, I can run the original 1fz-fe fan. Other than that, on a non supercharged engine, the blue hub is great. Here's the difference in the fans
The orange clutch is modified in two ways. The timing of the clutch and the oil used is changed to enhance the air flow and then the base is machined to fit the water pump on our trucks.
So the end result is the same air flow as a stock truck has with one of my modified blue hub clutches as both configurations are now running the stock fan.
What do the colors mean on the fan clutches?
They are different indicators of both engine usage as well as proprietary internal characteristics.
Design is always by Toyota engineers, outsource always to Aisin.

Depos installed with ebay hid lights (for now). Still kind of experimenting on those. I also need led side markers so they match the color better.

I'm finally making some headway on the water/methanol injection system. I really wanted more capacity than the 3 quart tank snow performance provides in their kit. I came up with a tank that goes where the windshield washer tank was and extends into the leftover space there. I drew it up with an angled bottom that fits the inner fender profile pretty nice. The big drawback is it takes the spot where a dual battery would be, but for now it suits my plans. I want to be able to run for an entire trip somewhere without having to fill the tank. This design got me 4 gallons exactly, though it really should be a bit smaller because it is tight between the air cleaner and overflow bottle. I even had to mod the overflow bottle bracket some for more room. I'll get pics of how the tank mounts asap, but for now, these are the tank pics. I mounted the pump to the side of the tank by welding studs to it, this gets,the pump below the tank outlet. I also put the low level float and the windshield washer pickup in the side farther up. The washer pump fits like the factory tank and I welded on a strap to hose clamp the pump in to hold it steady like the factory tank. I figure I can wash the windshield with 50/50 water/meth mix

I like where this is going.
My little jegs upgrade looks pretty pathetic next to that....
