No luck with the bushes, still the same.

Rick @ 4wd acc has put me onto a wheel aliment guy. He's got me rotating tires on rims etc before he puts it on the hoist and starts to charge.

I wonder if we all have the same problem Are we too fussy? it is a 4wd after all.

Jack one side up and spin the wheel while watching the drive shaft. If it spins its locked up. if not lower that side and lift the other and spin that tyre. If the shaft spins when the tyre is rotated then its that side that is locked. If nothing happens when either side is rotated then ... next ...

I maybe be keen on one for a prado. Would they bolt up to the factory exhaust or require a modified one? Do you know what there products are like? I'm sure there will be a few keen...

:?: I know its pretty simple but, do you have free wheeling hubs or are you still running the factory auto lockers? Its not un common to find that the hub on one side is not disengaging, causing that axle assembly to rotate which adds extra drag to that side which can cause the vehicle to pull to ...

Just failed a wof on front panhard bushes. Any ideas where to buy? Best quote so far is $100.00 + gst for the 2 (Appco) Genuine Toyota ones are less than that at $60 and $42 for the front pair. That's retail too. Rang BNT and they couldn't find the exact one, said to bring the old one in for a ...

So far i have took my car to 2 different shop in which one is a 4wd shop in town and they think that by replacing the caster bush kit, it will sort the problem of pulling left. YET, one shop which is one of the biggest wheel alignment shop in my town thinks that the caster bushing kit will do ...

Thanks Jerry While moving the steering side to side it looks all good from what I can see i did notice however a small amount of play (1-3mm) in the bush where the panhard connects to the axle. Quite excited finding this, could this be it?? If so is toyota the place to get a replacement? Or how ...

Cheers,Rob

Got a pic of the finished product? Have just been ringing round for quotes myself, would be good to see the end result since its custom work.

Ok, So it was good now not so, so some things changed. Even around town I have to fight it, drives me Nuts! Chrome, I feel your pain Even on the wrong side of the road with the camber going the other way it will still put left, just slower. kbushnz I've read about castor correction bushes used when ...

Here's the story, My prado's pulling to the left. Its a solid axle and stock everything. 6 months ago all was fine and now it pulls bad enough you use effort to hold it strait on the open road. Have taken it for 2 different wheel aliments and everything is how it should be. Only thing i have done is ...

Ah no snorkle I'm out.

I could be keen. Truck is still pretty much stock, what would the minimum requirment be?

Very nice Calvin.

Looks like another of your engineering designs I need to pinch Gota finish the bumper first

Looking good. Keep it up.

I would like to look at offroading more in the future but am not sure about taking apart my baby just yet. Tho if it means that it will make me money rather than cost it, this sounds like something i should look at before getting too adventurous Just lined up a set of A/T tires, bridgestone D694s ...

Finally got one, only took me 4 months and 500+kms. Ended up with a 95 lwb manual, one careful lady owner http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z243/RbNutz/30062009228-1.jpg Was only 1 week later and a lwb 5spd with factory locker showed up. and yet another last week!! Them's the breaks i guess. Just ...

[quote="IcedJohnno"][quote="Rbnutz"]Thanks for all of your replys Thats 4 heavyduty Icebreaker chains spinning through both lockers, 4k in 3rd low. Sometimes I am pushing snow up my bonnet or dragging a trailer too. Pays to be bloody careful though as lower down where it's much steeper, the drop off ...

if you can't find one with dual batteries then just keep an eye out for one that has the 2nd tray ...the bolt holes are already there.....depends on your requirements......can setup a dual charging system and use the 2nd batt to run a winch, fridge etc Cool thanks Jerry, obviously the more options ...

Thanks for all of your replys Loving your pic IcedJohnno, that's going to be me! I had a test drive of a auto a few weeks ago, i thought the 4low wasn't low enough then and your comments confirm this. Would prefer the manual just because i like them and i feel you have more control over the vehicle ...

Looks good. But i thought they changed in 96 to the independent front, rounder shape???

Hi, new to the site Am looking to buy a 94ish lwb prado with the solid front beam and 1KZ. The question is auto or manual?? Ill be using it mostly for getting up the ski field but wouldn't mind giving a bit of off road the nudge at some stage. How do people feel about both options? Is the auto an ...
