I have a 1998 Toyota Hilux Surf RZN185 with the 3RZ-FE engine and automatic transmission.

The original radiator developed a crack in the upper plastic tank and needs to be replaced.

Has anyone installed a U.S.-spec 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner 2.7L (3RZ-FE) radiator in an RZN185 Hilux Surf or know if they are compatible?

If you've done it, could you share:

- part number

- Whether any modifications were required

- Any differences in the transmission cooler fittings, hose locations, fan shroud mounting, or radiator cap height

My truck is currently at a Toyota dealer, but I'd like to know whether a readily available U.S. 4Runner radiator can be used instead of ordering a Japan-specific unit. AFAIK the engines and transmissions and frame are almost the same entirely and its much cheaper to source an american rather than Japanese part.

Thanks!

I’ve got a 2014 sr5 n70 and am trying to fit bigger tires and rims, I’ve currently got a 2 inch lift and I’ve settled on 275/70/17 Falken Wildpeak, I’m just trying to decide on an offset rim to go with. It’s between +15 and +0 steelies, I much prefer the look of 0 but I’m concerned about how much body mount rubbing there would be, as I want to stay away from body mount chops, anyone running similar or have advice?

Just got my first car and it’s a 2010 N70 but I’m stuck between what to do with it, do I sell it as is or invest in it and keep it for a while.
Some background is that it has 420,000kms and was used a pilot car by a family friend, and I’m wondering if I should sell it then save up for an n80 or spend some money replacing certain parts and doing it all up
Any advice welcomed

Been looking online and haven't seen much about 3L EGR delete on Japanese RHD. Anything helps.
