Prado 90 front seats

Has anyone changed the front seats on the Prado 90 series. Mine is a 1996 manual 1kz. Really good wagon but I hate front seats on a long drive. I was looking at Recaro as an option.

Re: FJ62 1988 5 Speed gearbox rebuild help

As it happens, my old 81 was offered back to me and I jumped on it. The 88 is still sitting at home next to the house. Wife is getting a bit annoyed at looking at it. So the Hyundai is smelling of fish and she complained about the fishy smell in that . Can't win.

FJ62 1988 5 Speed gearbox rebuild help

Hi, It was only a matter of time ... Couple of fishing trips and 2 weeks ago, the gearbox ended up with a major whine and rattle thereafter while on the motorway. Nothing like being thrown in the deep end and learning fast. Happened a week after I changed all the fluids. I have checked box oil and i...

Re: New to me FJ62 and new to 4x4

Hi, thanks.

I'm based in Auckland. Wishing it was a desert right now.
An Uncle used to have one when I was a kid and I used to watch from the back seat. Finally I get to be in the drivers seat.

Shrapa, did you get the beige one ?
