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.

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.

Can’t ask for a better bracket. Bolts up well. All trim pieces and horns bolt up after adding the bracket and cooler. Torque converter and pan temps are cooler but do get warmer as expected, but holy moly do they decrease rapidly.

This bracket worked perfectly with my Hayden transmission cooler. Easy installation.

I’d like to thank the guys at Goliath for making cool products like this. Fits perfectly with my Tran’s cooler. I like how they give you all the hardware. It took a while to get all the parts in my order though. Plan to purchase a enduro rear bumper. Hopefully it doesn’t take to long.
