    Was under the hood the other day doing some routine checks and noticed something that had previously escaped my eyes.

    On the driver’s side of the radiator fan shroud, there is a “GR” logo molded into the plastic.

    I’m assuming this is a company that manufactures them for Toyota, but I could be wrong. If I’m correct, who is GR or what does it stand for? I figured “The Hive” would know! :D

    It denotes which engine/fan combo the shroud is for. The GR is for the 2GR-FKS V6, 4 cylinder trucks will have a TR, for the 2TR-FE.

    Note the difference in fan hole placement when compared to the V6.

    Oh look, another mod....
    GR stands for "Gazoo Racing". No shit, that is not made up. It is the name of the official Toyota racing team.

    Folks will ask if swapping a TR for a GR fan shroud will make their I4 engines last 5 million miles instead of just 2 million.
