Got a HZJ 75 with a 2H motor (powering down?) seems to run hot on the gauge but only on the highway and more so on hot days. 1st step checked thermostat, worked took thermostat out no difference changed thermostat anyway, checked flow through radiator-ok took radiater ot to be cleaned but was told I would be wasting my money as it looked brand new. The fan seems to turn ok but I have heard extra gel or something can help, how is this done?. It has a new water pump also and a brand new head

So has it only happened since new head??
Try new radiator hoses.
Take radiator off, put upside down and stick hose in so it flushes out the filler cap(which is on the ground side)
Hose out the fins, and air conditioner radiator
Get clutch fan tested (if that is what they run) its the only way, they always "LOOK" like they are working.
If that fails, then
Get the radiator Flushed.
Rebuild Clutch fan with new fluid from Yota - they will tell you it doesnt exist as they want you to buy a new clutch fan at around $400. Fluid is around $20-40 depending on dealer..
If that fails.
Sell car ;)
