Offroad-Express

Currently looking for a mid size diesel 4 door truck. Looking to spend upto about 5k and liking the look of the 93ish Prado's. I do about 30-50,000km/year so mostly onroad with a few shiny trips etc etc... Will have kayaks on the roof getting to the rivers etc etc

Probably a small lift to fit 33's, winch, snorkle, maybe bars and that'll be about it...

Looked them up on wikipedia and they mention a EX5 & SX5.

Does anyone know the difference between the Prado EX5 vs SX5.

Was the rear difflock standard factory on one of them or just a optional extra? Did any of them come out with front lockers too?

Any tips or things to look out for? (or know of any around?)

i have a 94 kzj71 SX im not sure about the 5 tho, mine has no lockers

different trim levels?

I have a lj78 LWB and it is a EX5.Has the factory rear diff lock and had the 2lte motor
Cheers

The EX is the luxury/high spec model, comes with fancy pants things like altimeter and inside/outside temp gauge, possibly highrolla trim too. I think the e-locker is just an optional extra and is therefore found on both SX and EX but could be wrong.

Sweet... Does anyone know the common things that go wrong?

The majority I see on Tard Me have recently had heads done, so pretty much bank on that happening if it hasn't recently been done I guess

My old man has a 91 lj78 LWB and its a SX5.
It has the 2LTe and the altimeter and inside/outside thermometer. No lockers...
