nathan at kaiapoi repowers does them as well as a bolt on 2 1/2 inch exhaust as well
check your viscous fan still works
change your radiator fluid
if it still has electric hubs pm old blue he does conversions
ecu's on these are known to cause issues, place in nelson fixes them

Except that the boys got their address wrong! It is actually
14 Stone Street
Kaiapoi, New Zealand 7630
By the way regarding your great electric hubs
"If it aint broke, don't fix it" comes to mind
I have been running my -71 Prado for 10 years, the truck now having done 270ks with some good off-road trips and lots of work 4x4ing.
Only recently did I go for a set of Old Blue's Mk 2 hubs, these being both manual and electric. Before this I used the factory ones and apart from a little maintenance they worked fine. Only once let me down in the field, and even then I manually engaged it by removing endcap, revolving it and reinstalling it and then carried on.
Enjoy your Prado, they are a great off the shelf 4x4
