TRANSMISSION COOLER MOUNT | LEXUS GX470, TOYOTA 4RUNNER (2003-09)

Very long shipping times without response from the company. Bracket is high quality but there were zero instructions for installation (its pretty intuitive however). The hardware they ship with it is OK but you will need to reuse some of the factory bits.

Glad I Bit the Bullet

I'll be honest: $99 seemed inordintately exorbitant for a mounting plate; however, it was well worth the price. The plate is robust, thick, and well-made. I wound up painting it. Quite pleased with the results. If you've got a GX470, and you're sitting on the fence, I'd highly recommend making the investment. As an aside, the Hayden cooler is about 3x larger than the factory cooler and sits above the bumper, which allows for insanely improved airflow. Even in stop-and-go traffic, my fluid doesn't get about 125° F.

GX470 Transmission Cooler Upgrade

I installed the Hayden 698 into my GX and it went smoothly. All hardware provided from Goliath is top notch. The hoses provided by Hayden aren’t 3/8”, but I had extra hose. The Hayden is a lot larger, than the OEM Lexus unit and I’m expecting a lower operating temperature once it activates. The bracket made by Goliath is the star of the show. It’s a top quality piece and lines up perfectly in the grill of the GX and with the Hayden. Very impressed with the quality. Coated it with Woolwax and the screws as well.
