I know you changed your mind but if you’re ever looking to sell I am looking for a 100 or an 80. Just bought a prado 95 and I have the bug. Know if any for sale that have been treated right over the years?

I’m tempted

Update: Found one of my bushings worn on the pan hard rod. It’s loose enough that when I push the rear wheel(perpendicular to direction of travel) it makes a clunk. I’m hoping this is related. I ordered two new bushings from rough trax but I read my Haynes manual and it says if the bushings are...

Where are they?

So pull them when the AC is off and engine is running? Haven’t looked but is it obvious which lines exactly?

So my idle is sitting at 950-1000 when warm. I’ve adjusted it down to 800-850ish while running twice now with the Allen key and nut on the throttle (stop) but when I drive the car a day or two later idle is back up towards 1000.

Tight

Checked while doing the timing belt today. All tight

Honestly this isn’t a bad idea and I’ve wondered myself if the issue is in the passenger front tire. Noise seems to radiate from there(as far as I can tell). The tires seem like they are in good shape but the drivers side rear tire is a different brand and style. I did a quick highway run today...

I’ll have a look. I was going to grease them this weekend

Will do. If I can’t come up with anything there I’ll give you another shout.
