    The latter style. Mz. PHM used Cilantro instead of the fresh Parsley I bought. Sadly, no left over sauce. It was all on the meat.

    If you do go this route, the Lexus 4.3l fan bracket will fit the 4.7 if you want it to look extra factory instead of washers and nuts holding the pulley on in place of the fan

    Ok now you have my attention. I'm guess I will have to search that out. I will be asking questions when I'm ready.

    Just remember, if you tow even the dual Fan setup will never match the CFM of the mechanical fan. At full tilt the mechanical fan can draw around 10,000 CFM if I remember right

    I was told I was wrong about the Parsley and she is the Chef so I said ok!

    I don't tow but my buddy has borrowed the truck to tow vehicles to & from the auction. I guess I have to do some research.

    I personally plan on adding a sequoia condenser fan to aid in ac performance

    Just keep the factory set up. I researched this electric fan thing from guys that did them years ago on 1st Gens. They always had some other problems they were chasing. The Electric Fan causes amp draw issues as well as what @empty_lord says above.

    My truck has the original fan and works fine with tow/haul. I’d say save your money and take the Little Honey out to the Brasilian BBQ.

    My battery hold down thing is slightly rusty. I'm kinda sick of wire wheeling, and painting.

    I'm eyeballing the regular aluminum. No engraving. As far as I know my truck literally does not have one thing thats "TRD" badging approved. Factory, or not.

    Just do it for the bling factor!


    My tundra obviously was never a TRD. But it looks damn good with TRD stuff!

    I will agree with you, your tundra is SUPER sweet with all the bling. I'm kinda a plain Jane, small town kinda guy.

    Blend in with the masses, and hide amongst the sheeple.

    Couple of Tools and Techniques used to remove Axle and Axle Seal. Patents Pending.

    Used a 3/8” Ratcheting with a 14mm socket with a Pipe sleeved over for leverage to remove the 4 bolts. They have never been off so I used some firm pressure cracking each one slowly and then returning to loosen each one a little at a time.

    Here is ‘The Cross Over Move’ used on the Star Adjuster. You push the back of the locking plate to release the tab and then turn the Star Adjust loose. This is how you release the Drums off of your Brake Shoes (instead of using a service bolt to remove).

    Used this pic with the Axle off as its wide open viewing this way. When you are actually performing this move the pressure is intense and the space is limited. Hansel Rules!

    Those One Man Brake Bleeders Rule, as well.

    It took me more time to get out all my tools than it did to remove the bumper. Surprised how easy it was.


    Took the opportunity to fluid film everything while I can.

    Please don’t put your bumper on. It might make me want one.

    Oh you're going to want one. There is no doubt about it. My wife and I tried earlier with my floor jack but we didn't quite get it to line up. I'll probably give it another shot tomorrow when we aren't as tired.
