Toyota shipped out the radiator. They did secure the petcock before shipping to not have it bouncing around. Packed well and still has some bent fins. Any concern with the fins here? They don’t look that bad bc yo me, but wanted to get thoughts on it.

You can bend those back if you feel like you need to. There is even a tool, radiator fin comb, that can help.

Did it come with all those gaskets or did you have to order them individually?

Eventually I have to replace the down pipe and petcock, but I fear that will force me to replace the radiator.

I ordered all of that. I figured while I’m at it I may as well do the thermostat, etc. Tryingvto figure out the water pump as well. I’ve got a thread with a lot of info in it on that struggle…haha.
 
I showed my wife and she said "Maybe she wants him out of the house and back in the shop." ;)
The bumper was less than a year old too. Will wait for another sale from Toyota to get a new one. Got that one for $115 shipped so not a big loss. Anyone know the part numbers for new bumper bolts?
I should have kept the original bullbar from when I bought the cruiser 😅

Ran out of gas...again. First time was a couple weeks ago, new I was low, was near the house so decided to see how far I could go. Ran out about 2 miles from home. Luckily my wife was home, grabbed a gas can from the garage and got me. Got about 165 miles per tank.

Yesterday had 1/8 of a tank left heading to work. Got to work fine. Couple hrs later headed out to a meeting, didn't even think of checking the gauge, about 100 feet from my meeting, truck starts to buck. Was just able to glide it into a parking spot. Luckily only a couple miles from work, had one of the guys come out with a can an add a couple of gallons.
 
Maybe a big empty parking lot would have been a better location for that

You must drive a petrol thats not good mpg..if you're getting 165mls per tank...how smalls the tank, l've a 4L diesel l get that on a 1/2 tank..(full tank takes 23G) with sensible driving 39.9 mls per gallon is the best l've got..usually with commute/town driving its around 34mpg.
