Just installed a TYC about a week ago. Ambient around 80-85 lately in PNW. Only 7k CST in original black hub fan clutch. But rebuilt for 95f opening. Coolant temps measured with koso gauge, hovering around 185-190 once fully warm.
Just to wrap up this thread from my end, I ended up with a new Koyo A1918 radiator. Been driving with it for a couple days now and it is perfect. Car hasn't gone above 190F once. Hills, AC on, Highway speeds, all no problem.
I guess it really was the CSF radiator.
One data point: my 97 FZJ80 came with an all metal CSF radiator and replacement (not modified) blue hub AISIN fan clutch from the PO. I flushed the cooling system then installed an OEM Tstat and radiator cap soon after purchase. With outside air temps ~85-90'F the coolant temps are at 190'F with AC on, no hills, sea level. So not a lot of load, but have gone on 1100 mile trips 75mph in the Southeast with no cooling issues.
Having said that, based on my own experience (96 model with OEM rad, no cooling problems) and multiple threads concerning cooling issues when traveling at higher elevations and long climbs, I'm replacing the CSF in my 97 model with a new OEM (TRad) aluminum/plastic radiator (plan to take it on a cross-country trip). FWIW.
