Overheating issue

[phattyduck]

Any clue on what these are?

Those are the coolant lines to the rear heater under the passenger front seat. You can cap or loop the lines up at the top of the engine bay for now. Later you can decide whether to repair/replace those lines to get you rear heater working again. Later gen3 4Runners had stainless lines in place of the painted steel lines.

Should the fan "free spin" when the engine is cold and off? Mine seems like it may be locked up, but does turn. it just trurns with with a bit of resistance

When it's cold, the fan clutch should spin fairly easily.
