You are lucky that there are people as computer talented as me in this world.

This will fix your problems...

You need to cut a hole under the battery tray to fit the pipes. You may also need to remove your windsheild wiper bottle on the driver side as it may get in the way.

To fit the cooler, you will need to probably hang it off the bolt that has the hood latch on it. Under the car get some metal strips and bolt it to the holes infront of the radiator. You will need to cut the front support bar. Use a grinder for this.

The rest...as they say, is history.

The hardest part of the install on one of those china kits like you have on a 32 is the pipe that goes over the fan and through the wall under the battery.

Here are a few picks that might clear things up, remeber to use a piece of metal on the flange going from the pipe to connect it to the block and not try trimming the fan cos its not needed. (Found that one out the hard way)

I beleive you have more then enough information in this thread to be able to install the cooler.

Several people have explained cutting below the battery. Also, pipe diagrams are draw/given. Mounting instuctions too.

I would say that if you are still pondering what to do, its easiest to take it to a workshop and get them to do it for you. Should cover much over 250-350 for an install i dont reckon.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
