    Trans cooler is mounted. Waiting on custom 90* fittings to screw into the cooler and attach the hoses to it

    Toytec offers them as well, at the time ICON was the first ones I came across, it’s two blocks that bolt to the frame which drop the sway bar an inch and shove it forward an inch

    ICONs are black, toytec are billet

    I think running without sway bars for those that off road is causing pre mature spindle failure. Thinking a little less for the gusseted ones if done correctly.

    Ok trans cooler is all hooked up, no leaks. Will see how she does on the way home tonight.

    4423E46F-74C0-401D-A2A6-D6182C7886DE.jpg

    Ordered a few factory parts to make it nicer for the hose setup

    I ordered bracket number 2 which bolts to the drivers side core support

    D1E0AAEE-754B-45B5-8C23-21037814B2D6.jpg


    And the fixed line assembly that bolts to bracket number 2 and makes it where I won’t have the rubber hoses jammed into the side of the opening, and it will make it look factory

    You can see what it should look like passing through the core support here with the bracket/line assembly I ordered

    I just didn’t like how the hoses laid over in the opening so I ordered those two items to make it look much better! And this Hayden trans cooler is twice the size of the factory oem cooler :D

    Edit: Hayden cooler cost me $56
    OEM cooler is $300

    Did you ever get a scangauge or ultragauge yet? I’m curious to see your trans temps

    Do you have a factory trans cooler on yours or no?
