Just had a bunch of overdue work done on our 96 4runner (timing belt, valve cover gaskets, all hoses and belts ect) my mechanic mentioned a new radiator, but I had already spent about double what I expected and it looked OK to me.
So of course, the first time we head up to the mountains, the top tank cracks, luckily I caught it before we were in the middle of nowhere.
Anyway, I'd like to do an all aluminum one while I'm there and do an external trans cooler. There was a thread on another board that had a ton of different rads listed, I'll see if I can find the link.

But here's what I found.
This is a direct replacement, but has mixed reviews on fitment.

If you want one that doesn't hang below the frame, this would be it. Again, mixed reviews on fitment.

I found these, I like that it doesn't have the internal trans cooler. But looks like a ~22" tall core, so that will hang below the frame.

So the application for the shorter radiator is a 2wd 2.4 Tacoma.
Here's is another shorty, haven't read any reviews on this brand.
