    Junk yard pull. If you want, I can ship you one of my old ones. Only the clutch pedal cover was torn, so the brake cover is still good. I just replaced both because I wanted them to match. DM me if interested.

    You sure? It's the same cover for the clutch and brake pedal.

    Exactly why I got them, haha. I was at the yard trying to find a spare tire hoist and figured since I was there I might as well grab the pedal covers too. Turns out 4Runner hoists don't fit Tacomas since the bolt pattern is different, but hey, zigzags!

    I really really really really like my champion radiator. Shipped quick didn't cost too much more than an O'shitty's radiator for a full core Alu. 10/10 recommend. Becertain to order the correct one. I mistakenly got mine 2" shorter (in height) than my stock one. Only made it slightly challenging to get the hose on. But was nice for high clearance everything else at the time.

    In my honest opinion, get whatever works. These are work trucks; it will take whatever you give it. :)

    Thermostat does most of the job.

    Champion radiator is garbage. There's a thread here about the consist leak from a ton of members.

    A handful of guys I know run koyo with no issue. That will be my next rad if my Denso need a replacement.

    I went through three of them before I gave up on them. One of them didn't even make it out of the driveway. I went back to a stock 4Runner radiator.
