When I used to make spring plates I showed them to Certifier and he gave me a Certificate and all ongoing plates had to be made exactly the same.

Far back in time I used to make spring plates which looked like a top hat upside down, which had the U bolt nuts positioned at the side of the springs.
If any one wants a drawing of these just PM me.

Do you still have the Electric Hubs ?

Just putting a call out for any one that has sets or ( single ) hubs laying around, I need spare parts. I will pay freight and a few $$ for hubs

First, Do you need to replace this bush, they would only ware out if there were no grease in the knuckles, Use an internal micrometre and the size should be 33.5mm ID, if you need to replace it I think the only difference is the electric hub type is shorter because of the seal width.

If you replace the seals, just make sure that the lip faces the correct way, Seal is used to stop water from entering the electric hubs.

Went with new Control Arms @ $111.00 each

Need to replace either the bush's or the complete control arm assy on the rear of a 90# Prado. Very costly $$$ Are the bush's easy to push out and replace with a kit set of bush's ?. OR is there a place that sells arms at a good price ?.

When they did a pressure test they blocked all water ports on the head , they ran hot water thru the head at 180deg until head was at normal running temp, Crack showed up in the inlet port as the head alloy got hot, Replaced with a Toyota head and have done 140,000Kms and still going great.

My 2 cents worth, My 1kz head was hair line cracked in the inlet port, so only used water on each start up as the motor got hot, showed no signs of bubbles in the radiator or water in the oil. As long as the motor was hot it didn't use any water as there was no pressure in the radiator. The water ...

Thanks, All done,

Wanted, any info on resetting the timing belt light on a 1998 Prado 90 series. Thanks.

If you are talking about the drain pipe then I brought a 17mm dog leg ring spanner, made the job easier.

Yes You would need to get some studs etc. Edit; have found Tork headed bolts and collits

Have you got the old electric hubs , studs , bolts etc.

I may have to go the Rancho Adjustable so if any one has a pair of ranchos to fit the rear of a 1993 Prado let me know.

I did that to the standard coils before fitting HD Coils, but found that with 110Kg of loading on the towball and a 160KG power chair in the rear I needed so much pressure in the bags that one started to leak. I thought that fitting softer shocks it may stop that hardness when going over bolders etc.

What is the softest Brand of Rear Shocks for a KZJ-71 ?
I have fitted HD Chamberlin Rear Springs matched up with Munro shocks, caravan in tow and a power chair in the back, it's a very hard ride when not carrying any weight.
Is there a soft shock that I can fit with out going to costly adjustable's.

PM's must be a bit slow,

Can anyone PM Me with a contact number to get access to drive this Peak?. Was up there a few years back and got permission from a guy that was into 4x4 tag along tours at Omarama.

You will also need a good inward water pressure ( flow ), if not the water blaster will starve and start spluttering.

The Control Box ( ECU ) is above the steering column Right side.

If it's just a Hub Motor your after, I can sort that out.

Any one know where I can buy an original internal roll cage/bar for a HZJ73.

You could leave a PM on Facebook.

I think you need to be in low range for it to work. and if you have after market hubs fitted you need the Hub lock Switch in.

Got a few from electric hubs, think they are the same, PM me if you need them.

I used to make plates that were flat under the spring and the sides were pressed upwards approx. 20mm ,then outwards approx. 20mm, 4 gussets on each side, they needed to be pressed to make they legal. If I knew how to put up photos I could show you. If your interested MP me.
