    Has anyone changed their stock radiator for a better one (2 or 3 lines). Thinking on doing this mod since it gets over 120F on July-Sept :eek:

    I'm still stock but hey if you want to go for it man. I am not sure how an aftermarket radiator would perform on a Tacoma.

    There are only a few people that I am aware of who have aftermarket radiators. Me being one of them.

    Mine and DoubllD's are both from Ron Davis Radiators. His is more of a bolt in, and mine is a double pass. Mine had to have a lot of customization.

    Another guy has one from AFCO.com It is in his 4Runner. He goes by Whitebeauty, on www.XR-underground.com and www.T4R.org.

    Do any of you know if Toyota replaces your radiator, if they are supposed use the same brand as the stock (which is Denso)?

    Yes sir. Had to, due to the custom nature of it.
