It's still working great for me. No issues. Yes, works great with OEM hoses/clamps. Dude, it's a legit radiator. It's not some koyo or mishomoto crap. CSF is legitimate. They've already made this radiator available for other vehicles for years, including race vehicles which I have for...

It's working perfectly for me and his since day 1. It's holding up to the Phoenix temps quite well, and outperforms the cooling of the OEM unit by a noticeable amount. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Wanted to share some photos. I headed up to Sedona for a couple days to celebrate my birthday with my brother in law. He had never done any trails up there and I had only ever done Schnebly Hill rd before. On day one we came into town off Schnebly Hill, ate lunch, then finished the day with...

I took the 4Runner and family camping last weekend up to Mogollon rim. Weather was decent, and the leaves are turning. Only snagged the one pic On a side note, I feel like the 4Runner has lost some power, most noticeable when climbing mountains with the trailer. I might be wrong and am...

^ This. I had some DEI reflective tape leftover from another project and figured why not. I doubt it makes a big difference if at all, but since I had it laying around it seemed like a good idea. 1. Not sure, I'd guess at least as much as stock. Battle Born could hopefully answer. 2. I...

Happy to report back that all of my mods worked great during a run in the morning. No issues whatsoever. I was really pleased with how the CSF was keeping coolant temps down. It got to about mid 90s that morning and pulling uphill in 4L all morning, and temps stayed very reasonable, about 186...

I thought about a rebuild but was tired of the extended downtime and wanted to try something different too. I might rebuild them still as a backup set for the future. Thanks for sharing the video! There's no detectable imbalance, at least not yet. Centric makes a really good rotor. I get...

I just saw this announced too. I'm at a point where a SC might make sense for the build. I saw in a FB group someone mentioned there isn't a need for the 7th injector kit with this TVS unit, due to "greater efficiency". I assume that is with stock pulley and boost though. I'd like to see...

Welp, that was a lot of work and downtime over the last couple of weeks. I think I'm ready to find a different daily so I can focus more on the 4Runner build and take bigger downtime to do bigger mods. Front-end rebuilding: Remember I shared this image below, earlier? I got the SPC uppers...

TLDR: driver-side caliper was seized, new calipers fixed the issue Closing the loop here. The problem was that the driver-side caliper was seized. The driver-side produced less braking force compared to the passenger-side, causing the uneven pull to passenger side when braking. I debated...

Just wanted to report back that I received the unit and installed it. It installed without issue. I was able to easily bleed the system of air, and no leaks detected. I haven't been able to stress test it yet, but will report back if I have any issues or complaints down the road. Cheers!

Things are in progress. CSF Radiator: Finally there's an awesome aftermarket radiator. I've been running a CSF for about 7 years now in the (time attack) Miata and it's been holding up perfectly to track abuse here in the hot desert. The new 4Runner/Tacoma CSF radiators are basically the...

Winch installation & a pic from a morning trail run Ironman Monster 4x4 12k Winch: I'm done installing the winch. Overall it turned out great. I'd like to still pick up a giant switch to put near the battery so I can disable the power to the winch when not in use. I'm also having a tricky...

Well, I ordered it. I'll report back. There was a $49 promo running right now, which is what got me hooked lol. I have been running a similar CSF dual row radiator in my time attack miata, here in the AZ desert, successfully for years now. I've only had to replace the radiator cap, which I...

Interesting data point: I calculated my gas mileage over the entire Arizona-Colorado roadtrip I did. At ~1,820 miles, I averaged ~17.751 mpg. That's not bad, considering that includes some off road miles and a ton of mountain driving/climbs. Winch Fitment vs. the Addicted Offroad plate...
