Your best modification....

30" tyres , hey these are big when you start with 27's , close second low range t/case gears . Third is a long way off and not even sure what it would be .

[Sadam_Husain]

cant remember how but the other day I came back accross this old thread from a few years back

My 40 series cruiser came pre-built with with lots of shit already done to it but I've added a bit to it in the couple of years I've had it, probably some stuff thats not often on the top of a lot of peoples list but I've found them pretty important

Clutch, often a bit neglected and not really thought about, even though it hadnt done much work on a rebuild the 12" chev clutch couldnt clamp up tight enough and would spin up with hard work so I stuck a centreforce clutch in with centrefugal counterweights on the diaphram and a dual friction clutch plate... it bites real good

Longfield superset 30 spline axles and CV's, I farking hate swapping out smashed up CV's and can give these arseholes with the front diff lock in and nothings ever broken

18" viscous fan with steel blades and a shroud to get as much air flow and cooling as I can

[pruggerdore]

8) Dual gearboxes still trying to shorten the two boxes up... then sort the custom shifters

heres a shot of them sitting in there so I could check rear driveshaft angle etc about the time I realised it was going to be alot harder than just making an adpter plate



Cheers Reece

how did these turn out? lol. interesting idea

[GotFlex]

dont worry i plan on buying these soon, so ill let you know how it goes

[Bulletproof]

Unless a person is doing some technical 4 wheeling like rock crawling I think dual boxes are a waste of time.

I have been out with many with dual boxes and most are always in the wrong gear because the choice is too great and they get out performed by ones running a 5 speed box. Jafa is an exception.

That is only my personal view and I know others will differ

I would rate decent tyres 1st
Diff locks 2nd

Cheers Richard

[KIWI_TERRANO]

Selling nissan and going toyota was a grear start then

Snorkel would be first

Getting good tyres 2nd

Bash plates 3rd

[Drurban]

Changing the exhaust from standard to 2.5", really made a huge difference in performance.

Cheers.

I agree with Richard on this, lower ranges in the gears are useless if you are a mud bunny or for most club truck duties. I haven't changed my view from when I commented on page 1 of this thread. Take care of the traction, the strength of the weaker components and the abilty to get it all to the ground.

[SMOKEY]

, I agree with Rock who agrees with Bullet , you have to get it all to the ground , and thats F#@king hard to do ,

WHEN THE MUTT IS SITTING ON JACK STANDS

bwahahahaha.. zing!

i love the lower gearing of twins and use it all the time when pedallin.. gettin the power down to the ground is part of the reason why i've gone with the combo i have..

[IcedJohnno]

Going from 1 factory diff-lock (rear), to having a 2nd one, an unlocker. My Prado really responded to the Lock-Right up front.

One day I will get it to droop more as well.

Next best mod was porting the new cylinder head, which gave me a lot more torque. 100 to 145 km/h now 1km instead of 1.6km.

Oh, I guess the 32" Simex's help on occasions too.

[tallsam66]

Installing a lok-rite in the rear..to get 70% more traction for $600 ...bloody bargain!!!!

[92 safari 17]

best mods to date would have to be my 9" of lift and 35 simex extreme trekka 2s

[DDAN]

Would have to be new fuel pump front mount intercooler and methanol water injection the 1kzt loves it and high boost

[Lynx]

My best mod would have to be learning to drive, and read the area around/ahead.

Cheers Daniel

[mike77]

The recovery hook I put on the front! I use it all the time!

[J_Dub]

rear bar work
was smashing the ass end every trip, so I started treading more lightly in certain situations.
then once the rear bar was on, didnt even think twice about dropping hard into holes and leaning against banks
