discussion was our low hanging radiators in the 3rd gens.
fact remains, we had many more problems with our 90 4runners radiator than i have had on my 98. we were constantly repairing pinholes in it. and we replaced it at least once in the 9 years we owned it.
in the 3 years and 20k miles ive put on my 4runner, ive yet to have a single issue with the radiator. at 165k, its still factory too. i just seen no reason putting money down on something that isnt a known weak spot. do they fail? of course, but not enough to warrant swapping it out with an expensive all copper or aluminum unit.

I realize that the discussion was regarding the low radiators, but the radiator in question failed on top, not on the bottom from getting smacked. Hence, why I was wondering why the two were related or how it somehow proved his point.
