PS i just did mine last month so if you need any help, just post the questions. we all love to help!! axelr --------------------  |

I know you can get better than oem radiators for $130-140. If you do the work yourself, I can't see it costing over $180-200, (not trying to correct axelrduvirage's response, just want to throw my own bit out there)

There is JB Weld but thats not a fix or solution, it is just a temp solution. Get a brand new radiator.

I have already ordered the hoses from toyota online. Waiting to save up for the rad. Mine is 155k old. they ussually last this long.. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |
