You guys are absolute[u] legends!!! That should be an huge help! Sorry if I missed it in one of the posts, but which manual was that from? I really need to get something to help me - I have a PDF on the 3.0l engine so its really all the other bits I need! That aside, thank you for all the help - I ...

Spent all of Saturday bashing my knuckles and various other bits. Managed to get the new OME rear shocks into my Prado - pretty straightforward apart from having to use a nut-splitter on both sides! I then took off the front wheels and decided that i wasn't brave enough to tackle them without some ...

Just wondering - what sort of mileage are folks getting off this motor? I have just been on a trip through France and had some interesting results. The websites I have looked at suggest that a stock Prado should be doing 15l per 100km. Figures on the surf are slightly lower due to it being lighter ...

The shocks arrived in the post today after a bit of a wait! Gonna do my best to get them on this week and will post when I have given them a good work out!

Bummer!!! Oh well, wonder if it would have worked out cheaper with the shipping and all... so looking forward to getting them on though! Hope my expectations are not too high, but my old standard shocks are aweful and after 200k kms, they must be fairly knackered! Just hope the difference is ...

Haven't posted in a while! Finally bit the bullet and ordered a full set of OME shocks for my Prado a few days ago - it seemed to be the best option. They were ridiculously expensive though at £305! Hope they are worth it. Just out of interest, what do they cost on that side of the planet??? Can ...

That looks great! Gonna have to get my head around the cd-burning instructions though! It seems that OME shocks are available here - if anyone knows which ones fit the KZJ78, it may save me a load of explaining as they are not in the catalogue. Can anyone tell me if I need to replace the springs at ...

Okay - will keep looking. Part of the problem is that these companies don't list my cruiser and give up when they can't find it. It would be useful to have part numbers - loads of the companies list the KZJ70, does anyone know if they share any suspension parts? The same problem applies to the ...

Thanks so much for all the very useful info so far! I did some digging today and it seems that I can get ironman shocks - has anyone used these and are they as good as the equivilent Ranchos or OME? I am still on factory shocks and the ride is terrible. Also could anyone tell me if the steering ...

Hi all. Discovered this site and decided to join despite living on the other side of the world. I have a 1993 Prado (KZJ78) and am really struggling to get certain parts here in the UK as this is a very rare model and most suppliers only list the LJ78! I would appreciate any info or help on this ...
