in september, i noticed a small coolant leak at the radiator outlet. the radiator was a csf replacement, and all metal. so, i replaced it with another csf all-metal version. it wasn't quite an exact fit, as the core was about a half-inch shorter, so i had to modify the lower area of the shroud to allow it to clear the outlet.
all of the mounting holes lined up, and the factory hoses fit perfect. so, not horrible, but a minor inconvenience when installing. kept the old radiator, so i might take it to a shop to see about repairing it.

the non-liquid filled gauge failed last month. stuck the old gauge that leaked the glycerin out of it back in place. it works for now. i'll probably try a smaller liquid gauge similar to RAD4r's gauge when this one inevitably permanently fails.
the fuel pump is still working, too. now almost 4 years.

an update. very soon after purchasing the 4r, i added a headlight relay in order to preserve the column switch contacts, and that modification has worked very well now for over 5 years. i did eventually take the switch apart to clean the internal contacts, using emery cloth, but the headlight relay has been doing its job. one thing that i didn't like about adding the relay was losing the high beam indicator light on the dashboard. the relay prevents the dash light from picking up enough voltage to light up when the high beams are on, and i had been unable to come up with a solution that would restore the indicator function.
fast-forward to today. i ordered and installed a LED from superbrightleds.com - WLED-CWLX: 194 LED bulb - 1 high power LED - miniature wedge base. annnnd, the high beam indicator works again after 5 years. so, if you have added a relay to your headlights, and want to have a functional high beam indicator on the dash, this works.

earlier this year, i picked up some later toyota alloy wheels (the “offset 8” version) that had 32x11.5x15 tires. two tires were junk, but two were good with plenty of tread. i bought two tires from simpletire.com, desert hawks, in the same size for $215 delivered. i’ve put several thousand miles on these larger tires, and they have worked well. no fender rubbing. i do need to downshift a bit more often, but still plenty drivable.

Sweet work! If you want it done right, do it yourself. I wish I had the room and equipment and lear how to rebuild.

If you want us to help from afar please let us see, hear, feel what you're dealing with.
A picture paints a thousand words.
Toyota components are bullet-proof. Issues often arise from poor wiring, assembly and/or maintenance. Suspect those first.
Next only to our senses, the multi-meter is the most important electrical diagnostic tool. Spend $6 at Harbor Freight or $$$ blindly replacing parts.
