Re: what chassis can go under a ln106?

I have seen a hilux cab on a swb Prado chassis.... Coils all round. Not sure if body mounts on chassis needed moving.
And I also have a rolling swb chassis....for sale with live tags....

Re: Low stall torque converters

Will probably get a HD towing pack from Aussie. They do them all the time and have the knowledge.
Will drop stall about 500 which will be good. And tighten it all up... As mines is slushy and almost undrivable currently. Well on the open road. hahaha

Low stall torque converters

Hi All

Anyone have any real life experiences using a low stall converter in their diesel powered trucks?
Looking at getting one from Aussie for my Landcruiser Prado. As the factory one is struggling with more torque from engine mods.

Cheers

Re: LJ78 vs ln65/106 diff parts

Unless the cvs are playing up , leave them alone. They are stronger than the hilux versions.
I used a kit from Terrain Tamer for my swivel hubs (Don Kyatt in AKL) only a few things different due to being a Jap import.
Thats the axle seal in the housing. Otherwise everything else fitted fine.

Re: looking at getting a cert

Save yourself some grief and find a cert and talk them thru your mods. Only they will know what they want to see and how its to be done.

Re: Winch isolator

Chasing stray currents is reasonably straight forward. Just need an multi-meter. You can get some that click over your power cable. Then read what its drawing with truck off.... And then start unhooking items one at a time and see if the amps drop. Normally you have a clock powered... and maybe car ...

Re: Winch isolator

You shouldn't have any battery draw when a winch is installed. You have another issue... Most winches can draw more than 500 amps....especially on a hard pull. I get the idea you have two batteries. One for startling and an aux for the winch? and a battery iscolator to charge the main battery first ...

Hi all After my recent bum chop on my Prado, one of the side effects is that now there is no rear air vent letting air flow out, When the last door is closed it has to act against air pressure...

If you feel you have cooked the oil, change it. Its pretty cheap compared to an engine rebuild.
