Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Why would toyota make 8 different looms for Prado's? I can assume that there might be a difference in base model to grande, but a vx is a grande minus air suspension, leather and centre console fridge. The bloke i spoke to didnt really want to help and didnt tell me where to find the id number on ...

Hi everyone i have a 2005 T/D VX and was wondering if it was possible to put the centre cluster out of a Grande that shows fuel consumption, averages and direction of travel ( the one that sits above the stereo ) I have been told by Toyota that there are 8 different wiring looms for prados (bullsh!t ...

Mate that looks fantastic. You have done a great job!!!

What sort of money are you looking at all up???

If you dont mind me asking?

Cheers

Hey Guys

Goto Jaycar, Ghet some bass engines for about $30.00 each. Mount them under the seats..

Well the old girl finally ticked over 200,000kms!!
Had to pull over and get a picture!

I took it for a "general service" since its now done 200K.
The end result including new stub axles, hubs, bearings, disc rotors, shoes & pads, brake cables, engine mount & a stong lecture to drive more carefully ...

Heres my subs........ boot & back seats went out the window years ago!
I have Pioneer 6x9 4 ways in the rear, set of jvc 6x4's in the front (where the standards go) running through a jvc mp3 player.. The 2 10" Alpine type s are run by a kicker 2x100w amp bridged...... Sounds pretty good!

I got mine for $100 a corner fitted and balanced.. they had been on another car for 2 days, the owner took em back and swapped them for 33's so they were classed as second hand...

Sh!t eh!!! that looks pretty bad dave
Is that the truth behind why you sms'd me to come down yesterday???

I should have told you where i was laying floor boards.......Grant rd!! i was only 30 seconds away! if i had of known you'd done that i would have come down

Em's on heat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the CD900 antenna (made by RFI), and i cant speak highly enough of it.
It is fairly small and thin, and according to all the write ups on it, it is the best around at the moment. It's a 6.5db over 1/4 wave.

Its only about 3ft but its meant to be unbreakable, the antenna has good flex and ...

Hey guys
Just surfing here at work and came across this fez

If you look closely it is still IFS front, it has some weird body lift.

Update

I had the front wheels off to replace the front pads.. I noticed that when i had the hub on the drivers side locked in and spun the disc, the shaft spun and turned the shaft on the passengers side also.

BUT: when i locked the pass. side hub in and spun the disc, it didnt make the shaft ...

Hey mate

Not sure about the rockys, but the aussie feroza's have the fuel pump mounted on the inside of the chassis rail (drivers side back wheel)...... the fuel filter is mounted in the engine bay.

Hope this helps

Yeah all these things were all going around in my head yeasterday going through the ruts in sheidow park in 2wd.



So you can still get in there?

oohh yeah!! even in 2wd

Its got a lot worse since you were there, and there is a heap of new tracks and different lines you can take now as well

Yeah all these things were all going around in my head yeasterday going through the ruts in sheidow park in 2wd.

I played around with the shifter and it definatly sounds like its going in (without force)... i am going to get the engine mount fixed and ill get the boys at cross country 4x4 to see ...

Not sure mate, Im at work at the moment, just trying to get some ideas to check when i get home.

Thanks and ill get back to you with the results

okay - sorry if that sounded stupid, but you may have broken both unis and the shaft just fell out.....

another stupid question - r u sure you were in 4wd????

They are not stupid questions.... and yes it was definately going into 4wd you could hear the selector clicking in to both H4 and L4 ...

No that i can see... the CV's come straight out of the transfer case.... i cant spin them manually when the hubs are locked, which apparently means they are not broken

G'day all

I went out for a bit of a play yesterday and have discovered that with my front hubs locked in.. i dont have front wheel drive.

I know that i broke an engine mount, but would that have anything to do with it??

And yes i found out the hard way...... in a rut!

Hey guys

I spent the arvo taking the dash apart. Thanks heaps for the advice, it made the job a whole lot easier.

The globe behind the heater controls olny took about 5 minutes to get out and replace.

The dash was pretty easy as well, Basically there are a few screws above the tacho and ...

That is Grant Kean, he owns Cross Country 4x4.
That is his 80 series TD going through a hole at Ngarkat about 3 years ago.... i went through after him!.... he emptied the mud for me!

Hammer???

How involved is it to get it out?? Did you have to pull the whole dash out or just a bit?

Hey guys
How easy it it to get the dash out??
I have a blown globe on the dash...... well i have a few actually!

1 is behind the tacho (green back light) so obviously the speedo section needs to come out there.. any pointers??

The other 1 i noticed last night is all the back lights behind ...

Im there Dave, Next time you get some mud, let me know and ill come and play

I have 31x10.5 simex centerpedes and if i air them down to about 10-12psi they go very well in sand. As long as you dont floor it in soft sand they dont do to bad at 32psi either

I missed about the first 5 minutes of it as i was madly running around getting dinner and beer, but great show! Will it be on every friday night here??

I will be keen to watch more!

Your a champ!

GIDDY UP!!!!!!!!!!

Just checked the TV guide and its not in there so you'd better be right!

Hey AJ

Instead of replacing my leaf package ( i have 1 + helper as well ) I got an extra (heavy duty) leaf added and had them reset to the max.... Gave me a heap of lift and havent sagged since i had it done about 4 years ago... and i have been towing some pretty heavy things too!

If you have ...
