Rollover rescue 05 tundra

Wait, there is a CSF radiator for the 4.7L now?? It’s not in their website. Does it fit the 4Runner/Sequoia also or just Tundra?

 

tundra they list. but as i found out the radiator is only for double cabs.. sent it back. having a custom one made for alot more money. but im tired of plastic tanks bursting at the worst times possible

 

How much $?

 

Uh... about $800

 

Black, I just think bronze with cement is weird.

 

Do they make them in gunmetal? Of those 2 options I would pick black.

 

I’m leaning black. And I believe so on the adventure edition 4runners

 

Still waiting on radiator, but my @Coupe battery hold down came in!

 

Well look what I finally have, was starting to have withdrawals not being able to drive the truck!
Beautifully made, fits like a glove, andyou can see the hints of water inside thetank which means it’s been properly leaktested.

 

got tired of the cabin noise, put at turn down on.. amazing how much it changed the tone and the drones still there, but way more bearable till i finally do the whole exhaust...

and the radiator is in, cooling as great as expected

 

Factory Toyota hitch installed. Same 6 bolts as the old one, but trucks up nicer and is now also bolted to the bumper. Now I need to make a bracket for the 7 pin to tuck up to the body.


And 7300 lb capacity vs 5000 on the hidden hitch

 

Well, change of plans for the trans cooler, the new radiator has made a noticeable difference in trans temps, so factory cooler is being used instead.
Tomorrow I have to do the trans fluid level check, but, my tundra officially has the complete factory tow package. Trans cooler in installed!

I will be putting the bolt in larger CSF cooler at some point though, the 30k cooler is actually on the f-350 since the trans was rebuilt and it needed some more cooling

 

I also have to move one of the horns because of this need to actually quit being lazy and make a nicer harness for the horns too...

 

Oil change today, checked for leaks. Looks like power steering return line has a wee bit of a weep. Will keep an eye on it. Engine and trans are dry as a bone
And the belts starting to make noise. Looks like it’s getting the updates tensioner and a/c bracket soon...

 

made a quick bracket for the 7 pin so i can acutally use the truck for towing the mercedes tomorrow.. temporary as it is.. i'll work on bending it up more and tucking it up by doing so. then paint it

 

Puttin’ in some work Moving things today. Towing like a dream, trans temps only hit 150 pan and 170 was the highest I saw converter unlocked on temp sensor 2

 

Really digging the style this truck has. Keep it up the awesome work.

 

Things happening to it are going to slow down. But next year, full exhaust with long tube headers, sliders, and hopefully have a complete interior. As of now Mercedes has to get running before winter and over winter Tacoma gets focus for a bit.
Trying to get more projects done. The tundra was fast to get to a useable state comfortably. Lol

 

gave it a nice cleaning and installed more LEDs. so as of now the only halogen bulbs are the headlights and fog lights. Might go LED on the fogs, have some philips gt200 bulbs coming to get some more output out of stock wattage bulbs (the 100w harness caused all kinds of weirdness for my headlights...) Still need to get video of my diode dynamics smart tap.. maybe next weekend.



still trying to find a donor for interior pieces. and VERY tempted to pull the trigger on long tube headers and start that mess of a job...

 

never posted this here. but 3rd gen long bed double cab taco next to my truck, noses are level, my truck is obviously lifted. my regular cab is the same size as a access cab 1st gen tundra too. Double cabs are different beats entirely
