Wow it's been a long time since I've posted to this thread!
Quite a bit of new stuff has been done since my last update, full list on post #2, but I'll put the new stuff here as well:
New Koyo radiator! Performs amazingly well, fit right in and looks great.
New belts and hoses of course, along with an Aisin fan clutch to replace the original which had seized in the last month or two.
My new boss is an excellent welder and has agreed to help repair my frame, so that's on the horizon.
I'm also in the final decision phase of what lift kit I'm going to buy. Very heavily leaning towards the Toytec BOSS kit since the struts are pre-assembled and it comes with almost everything I need, along with the rumors that they ride better that Bil 5100s. My main concern is ride quality on and off road. Tired of being beaten to death by my worn out stock suspension.
Since it's been a while, here are a couple new pictures:
