New kid on the block

Post by hyp3r »

Hey guys

Im a newbie on the block

Bought a swb Landcruiser Prado about a year ago.
It has a 2 inch lift, front ARB bar and a snorkel.

Since i have had it, I have added a winch, a new headunit and some fog lights

Future developments include side bars and more lights, GME UHF radio, a roll bar and 1KZ-TE Engine conversion

Same year as my old one .... fit a secondary temp guage and dont cook it as this will kill your head quicker. will rev to 4800 if you need to :lol: . extend your diff breathers.... easy on these ... use a bit of fuel pipe, convert your electric hubs to manuals. look at a rear disc brake conversion eg suburu as your handbrake drums clog up quickly and are a pita. add a snorkel to the list as well the intake is in the drivers guard ....

thanks for the advice about the guage. I need to get rid of the ERG on it too soon.

It has factory discs but you will find some handbrake drums behind the discs. New one has a lexus in it which will be allowed to come out for a play very soon.
