    These storms are also slowing down delivery of the parts I need to get everyone's kits shipped out.

    Can anyone take a picture from further away from the truck with the mhx cooler installed? I have a 2020 platinum with the standard grille and wanted to see how it would look with the mhx behind the grille. I'm still debating on which one to purchase. Is there any difference in quality between the two options as it's been stated that the setrab will cool to the same temps as the mhx if you arent bypassing the thermostat?

    Both are high quality coolers. One thing the MHX has over the Setrab is the warranty. Improved racing has a lifetime warranty on all their coolers.

    That actually looks really nice and a lifetime warranty on anything is great. (I wish they made a black one though, less noticeable) oh well 1st world problems :sadviolin:

    Thanks for putting this kit together. I'll be ordering one of these with the MHX in the near future. My 2021 has a silver not black ac condensor so the MHX one will blend right in on my rig. I'm kinda surprised that Toyota ommited the factory one.

    So i'm just curious has anyone who's bought one painted the MHX with a high temp paint? I can't imagine that would reduce the cooling capabilities at all, especially if you paint it a matte black color.

    I have the goods / MHX from @chasenicholas93 . Nicholas is super helpful / responsive. Against recommendation (#435 above) and maybe better judgement I may be the guinea pig on painting the cooler with Eastwood Radiator Black. I read this really thin paint can be a bit of a pita if not careful on timing of 2nd coat. I will need warmer weather or maybe the Mrs. won't be too inconvenienced if I shoot it in the basement lol. My guess is with the special radiator paint it won't really change cooler performance, will look good early one, but my concern is how paint will retain on the aluminum cooler longer term.

    I did ask the guys at improved racing about this and they responded as follows, so I don't see any harm in painting it with that eastwood radiator black paint as that's the one I was looking at as well. I would say after you do it, see where your temps are and we can and least try to compare it with others if they have the same altitude/climate/driving situations (which i know will be hard to find lol),

    Hey Edward,

    You are free to paint your cooler if you would like. There has been mixed studies whether or not paint will be an insulator to the cooler. I don't have any paint suggestions, but I would choose a paint that will adhere well to aluminum.

    Thanks

    This may be a silly question, but anyone with long tube headers had install the kit? I assume it won't cause any issue as most headers are meant to work with 2007+ which has the thermostat, but while underneath the truck it seems adding thermostat will push the puck awfully close to my headers.

    There is a spacer where the thermostat is on 2019+ Tundras. When you do the install you remove the spacer and add the thermostat. It won't push out the puck any further than where it is now.

    A bunch of kits will be shipping out tomorrow. If you haven't received a tracking number your kit will ship out soon. Expecting all pending orders to ship within 7-10 days as I wait for MHX coolers to be built and Setrab brackets to arrive.

    The kits I have in stock at genuinecoolingsystems.com are going to be the last kits sold until mid-May as I move from California to Tennessee.

    For the few that will have their Setrab kits soon, could you please sent me install photo's to post on my website? I would like a few more than the ones I have.

    :rimshot:drumroll....The MHX debuts in Radiator Black! Indeed a very thin paint so can't imagine it's any sort of tradeoff on heat xfer. Would've been nice to had a paint prep spray of some sort for aluminum but I just scotch padded the top/bottom/ends and hosed it down with brake cleaner. Put some tape over mounting holes, in/out holes and the identifier bottom plate. A couple light coats of the paint with second coat while first is still bit tacky. Used tactical flashlight to help see when coating the fins. ...yeah man lookin great until it gets biffed by a big june bug lol. Hope to get around to the install in a couple of weeks.

    Received on Saturday, well packaged! Installed, drove and leaks checked today.
    The kit just makes it an easy install. Instructions are clear, hardware is strong quality and all just fits in its place.

    Temperature never went above 187F during 45 min drive (city) 65F outside. Can't compare with previous temps yet.
    No leak after the test drive :bananadance:!
    Liked the aluminium color on the lunar rock!
    Will post some pictures after clean up :rolleyes:

    Thanks @chasenicholas93 :hattip:
