TB Coolant ByPass

Been reading some posts on this topic and everything I've read sounds fairly simple to do. It totally makes sense to remove any heat source away from the TB so my question is what is the simplest way to do this where I can reverse it this winter if needed. On a side note I saw where Victor Shepard I think is his name just took a second Tundra across the 1 million mile mark. Unbelievable!!!!

 

At least for the Gen2s the easy way is to turn off engine, put paper towels below TB, use pliers to release hose clamps, remove the hoses connected to the throttle body. Then either use a barb to connect the two loose hose ends or remove one hose completely and plug the loose end into the side you just removed (completing a circle of coolant. Profit. If you live where it’s below freezing for days consider putting it back together otherwise just leave it like that. I have ran my Tundras that way since 2017 here (but rarely below 20f here).

 

I feel like it's been covered before. Maybe this helps: https://www.tundras.com/threads/throttle-body-hoses.154909/#post-3852438

You'll likely not notice any differences, but cooler is better, especially in the summer months, for any engine. I've rocked it for over a year on both my tundra and 4th gen 4runner, and have had no complaints or challenges from it...I had some 3/8" metal double hose barbs I used in-lieu of a bolt being clamped on and it has worked great...
