Default could be the radiator jammed up with minerals from the water. Use distilled h2o
Thermostat is a good first step. Also try to jump the fan to see if it still overheats.

t-stat or water pump? I've heard of the WP impeller slipping on the shaft (think it was those)

it's the thermostat - failed closed. Happens frequently on older toyotas. $15, easy to replace.
