hi for the 185 surf just get some coil spacers so you can keep the std coils in. use the monroes(adventure) they are nice and firm,but still mantain great flex offroad aswell. with any aftermarket coils youre truck wont sit even too,thats why if you make some spacers you get the perfect height ...

had them in my cruiser for touring around oz.had many probs with the air fittings leaking etc..
removed them and fitted some suitable shocks and coils.
i know others that have had issues aswell,ive heard more positives than negatives all up
my 2c cheers

i know the green light you mean..
is it a 1kzte? checked fault codes? still got the electric hubs connected or have manual ones?

thanks richard ,would be great to see some pics of the de-tach setup,cos havent seen any on these type prados really modded in aus like you guys in nz....
cheers

sorry about the off topic question...

can someone please tell me if the x2 prados(pradozer&wjw) were running the factory sway bars on this trip? or were they removed?
cheers guys

hi richard i think ive just clicked where the chasm is... i lived with a mate in hukarere for 6months running a truck out of the coast for stu drummond,we lived on snowy river road just over the bridge around the bend and spent alot of time 4wding on days off in the area.... from memeory you follow ...

maybe,.but not in a isuzu bud
euro diesels lead the pack without a doubt!

i didint notice any truckers on here TWEAKE?(and please define a truck?) the auto/manual economy theory in a hvy truck buddy is crap!autos use less fuel! many dont drive to the rd nor their load which is why you will always see many on their side...get used to it 750nm you aint even half way yet

thats an effort to clear youre head dude,id rather have a drink & a joint

they are really nice looking sliders chap,clean & simple!

i notice many of you run 2 aerials,is one for prs,and the other for cb so you can talk to us truckers?
some good looking toyotas dudes.

thats a good swap! whats wrong with the vx? or cash trade aswell?

the point has been missed so just forget it skid!

look where the highlift is positioned?
why didnt you put it under the side bars below the door?(a highlift works fine on tube!)
lower the centre of gravity the better (or you wana argue that point aswell)
nope im glad i stuck my nose in cos im still getting the last laugh

yeah mate thats the name of it..
id rather take a truck & trailer trough there than a quad trailer thou

i own a vx mate,sell it if you cant afford to run it...
i use 250 bucks a week if it makes you feel any better..
and it shouldnt use bugger all fuel on any 4wd tracks?

geeze youre keen posting that pic of those jokers using that highlift on that white cruiser
and ya shoot down a young dude for not fully wearing a harness?
so NO older not always the wiser!
dont wana strat an arguement but.....

cool might do,cheers mate
i allways thought you were a logger because of the battle scars..
theres a guy up wakefeild who had a mq patrol & lime green fj40,friends of youres i take it?

yep know that road did a few loads up there for a few farms last year...
shes was interesting taking a 20m truck & trailer trough to johnsonville

rogerr that bro!

cool truck rokhound!
looks like some good ol southern alps scenery?

from memory it runs 80series diffs...
and a auto ikz/propane
cant remember the old owners name but it was in the dennys winch comp years ago(wayne must be the 2nd owner?)
its the nicest hilux ute in my book!yup better than hughes fugly truck...
shes got a liitle more go than youres richard

ya looking at $150-200 for a new cooler to suit...
ea falcons etc have decent size coolers aswell(got one from pickapart.$20.00)and just gave it a flush which really wasent needed...

seen youre truck parked on main rd hope heaps mate(finally clicked)yup ya use it!
i drive for drummonds so allways goin past...
anyway what is the tare weight richard? cheers

keep the open & fit a locker(then its done)
all that drama & guarantee it will have no more hook up than the open(unless you drive it hard,but thats not the objectve)

it will bolt into a hilux housing no worries
i run 4.8 in my prado which was from a 86hilux(ln61)

hi guys after a good windscreen for a kzj/lj prado,but sure a 70 series landcruiser will fit aswell as long as its not the mwb fibreglass roof type!...(WELLINGTON REGION)
so if anyone can help please pm me.
cheers

all prados are 8inch mate(only cruiser have the 9 rear)

thanks oldblue, so leave it in there you think?(i take it you own the same vehicle what have you done?)
also whats a good pair of springs & shocks for a bit more travel?(shes sagged in the rear & dosent handle the best anymore!)
i have 32inch mtrs aswell...
thanks again mate

hi guys interested if you prado SWB owners remove youre front swaybars offroad or leave them in?

i thought about removing mine for good, but want feed back from swb owners first..

cheers
