Radiator, fan and hoses

You will be able to retain the stock 3.0 radiator, fan, and shroud. The fan is close to hitting the shroud on the driver's side, but it has not caused a problem on mine yet.

I used the upper radiator hose from a 95 tacoma - shortened 1" on the one end. The lower hose was one that I picked out by looking at the wall of hoses. I have found that many parts stores will let you behind the counter to find the hose that you are looking for if you explain to them why you need to do this.

I was not able to use the original heater hoses that came off of the back of the engine - mainly because of the 2" body lift. My truck has a rear heater which I was able to retain. It is quite frustrating and time consuming getting all of these hoses connected.
