Transmission cooler hoses routing (1 Viewer)

[LC95]

Good afternoon ,Finally getting around to putting my 80 project back together years later after taking it apart! So i kind of forgot the routing for the transmission cooler hoses coming from the hard lines near the radiator. Any body have pictures of them by chance once installed with radiator and shroud in place?I know where they all go but having issue with routing near the steering box/fan shroud area. Once i mock up radiatior seems like its rubbing/sitting on one of the longer transmission hoses .Any info / pictures would be great preferably 1995-1997 but older might be similar aswell.

Thread 'Transmission hose replacement using non-OEM parts'

Feb 8, 2021

Since I've found this community to be more than helpful in getting my FZJ80 in tip-top shape, I wanted to share some experience replacing the soft transmission hoses using non-OEM parts as almost all are discontinued. This project started after one of the hoses developed a slight tear and sprayed transmission fluid all over the garage floor and in the engine bay. After cleaning everything up and identifying the culprit (it was the return line from the oil cooler to the transmission hard line), given the age of the vehicle (and likely all of the soft transmission lines) I decided to replace...

Your first photo shows a hard line with a flared end. There is a formed hose still available from Toyota which includes a protector wrap around it, which I believe goes there. That is the only OEM hose I bought when I redid my soft lines a few months back. I didn't like the non-OEM options, which looked to me like they would sit uncomfortably close to the harmonic balancer. I commented on that in the thread above, near the current end of the thread.
You surely already know this, but the clamps are critical. Constant tension clamps, OEM or OEM style, are by far the best IMHO.
Good luck. Your rig looks too clean to be real. Are those AI generated images???

Thank you, Yeah I actually did see that thread and was trying to follow that the best I could. But it didn’t show with fan shroud installed how it was routed exactly and I was having some issues getting it lined up with radiator in place but eventually I got it pretty situated. No AI pics just another landcruiser that was supposed to get baselined. But ended up with a whole lot of “well once I’m in there might as-well do this “ and some elbow grease later turned into basically and engine/bay restoration
