    What aftermarket fan shroud is everyone using? Just purchased one along with the 3 row radiator for my 89 4runner with 22re. The radiator fit and bolted up perfectly, the fan shoud was a good fit, bolted right up to the radiator but the fan hits the shroud on the driver side. The radiator is moved over as far as it goes to the driver side but it is still not enough. The offset on the shroud is just not right. Are there any fan shrouds out there on the market that do fit these 4runners?

    None. Bone Stock. EXCEPT: Brushguard, tow hitch, both welded to the frame. It's good to have friends and a fully equipped garage!
    Well, I don't know if this is an option for you, but when I put 3-core radiators in my two, I used the fan shrouds that came with the trucks from the factory, and they both fit perfectly. I lived in Yuma, Az at the time, and 3-core's were pretty much necessary. Especially as I had an hour's freeway drive to, and from, work every day.
    If you don't know Yuma, it's the little town down in the corner where California, Mexico, and Arizona all sorta-kinda overlap. I could throw a rock, literally, from my property north into Mexico, and east into California. Go figure.
    We really appreciate when it gets down to 100° in the evenings. I've seen 110°F on Christmas Day. I've lived through riding my motorcycle home from work in 125°F, in the shade. No shade on the highway, so I was sitting out in the sun for an hour. I used a hose and soaked my clothes down before I left, and carried 2 liter bottles of frozen water inside my shirt. They were melted at the half-way point. I drank one, and poured the other over me, soaking myself again. I passed out when I walked into the gas station to pay for my gas.
    Happened at least three times I can recall. Like I said, 3-cores were pretty much a requirement.

    If you can, try and find an OEM fan shroud. Don't run without it. Not even without the little removable section on the bottom.
    Rock auto carries one. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=706100&cc=1277502&jsn=424 Your local dealership may well carry one as well. Might be worth a look.

    Does this help?

    Thanks. Finally found the correct one. Apparently there are 3 different styles for these 4runners

    I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads-up.

    Did you find the right one for your truck?
