I'm pretty sure it's been covered before but... big <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> to radiatorbarn.com

1995 DLX 4x4 4cyl w/ A/C

120 bucks shipped to my door. Ordered it at like 11:00pm EST on sunday. was here when i got home tonight. went in in like 30 minutes, bolted right in, used the same radiator cap, same size inlet/outlet hoses, and same size plugs/caps on the bottom outlets. The *only* mod i had to make was the overflow outlet at the top coming out of the filler cap neck. I had to bend it up about 1/4" w/ a flathead to get the hose on there. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />

Getting the Wheeling Fever
All,

Just tried to install my new radiator from Radiator Barn today. I got the HD one which has the same width and height dimensions as the regular one.

However, upon measuring, the height of the stock radiator that I was replacing is about 1" longer than the new one (16.75" vs. 15.75"). This causes issues with mounting the shroud i.e. it can't be done wihtout trimming 1" off the shroud.

With all this positive feedback on this site about RBarn, has anyone else had to do shroud trimming? I thought these radiators were supposed to be drop in for 1985 4Runners, or whatever car you choose.

Argh ...

Justin

Mine was a drop-in replacement, had no problems at all.
Pretty sure I ordered the "3 row" version.

My 87 4Runner 3 row fit nicely. Just a little tweak on the tube for the overflow hose. Shroud fit ok.

Anyone have their dimensions on their stock fan shroud for the 22re? I just want to verify that my old shroud was/wasn't stock before I go calling Radiator Barn. If it's not stock, then I'll just grab one from a junk yard or something.

Hey all,

Nevermind, I just took a hacksaw to the shroud and cut out some notches. Problem solved.

Now I get to figure out how to get a snapped off bolt out of the thermo housing. It snapped when I was replacing the thermostat.
