Im not sure the Transmission ECU is located , could be on the transmission itself? There are ECUs located under each front kick panel also. Throttle position sensor can cause issues with Transmission gear change Have that checked also.

I know its not the same vehicle but I bought an xr6 Turbo that had been a repairable write off (rear quarter hit) without my knowledge. I few people commented about the offset of the diff and the paint started peeling badly after a couple of years then the top end didn't like piston 6 and gave...

I got to test out the fridge and slide last week and soon discovered It was too high for me too reach into, even with my long gangley arms. So I embarked on project tilt slide. The tilt works by a bolt on each side at the front acting as a pivot. An elastic strap acts as dampener and 2 wire...

Converting slide to tilt

Beautiful rig!

Apparently heat can damage the battery, Bit of a cop out I reckon since most of the installs I've seen are under the bonnet.

Installed a Dual battery system and fridge over the weekend. Thought I would keep it simple , or so I thought. I ordered a 100ah kick ass AGM , projecta IDC25 ( all plugs pre installed) and a battery tray. The Plan was to install the battery and charger in the spare battery space under the...

Building and installing my Dual Battery system

Maybe front runner has something ?

Did our first ever beach/sand drive Last week end. Was very Easy as sand was mostly hard. Couple of Pics. Posing by the Ocean by Gasmanjc posted Jul 25, 2018 at 4:07 PM The Convoy by Gasmanjc posted Jul 25, 2018 at 4:07 PM More convoy by Gasmanjc posted Jul 25, 2018 at 4:07 PM

Beautiful old rig mate!

Thanks so much Clivehorridge . Glad you enjoy it and I like to share :P

Found some local tracks last week. Met a work mate there, he has a Prado 150 2016 GXL and his son came also for his first off road experience in his own Holden Rodeo. I made a vid of the best bits we encountered. Ormeau Tracks by Gasmanjc posted Jul 2, 2018 at 3:37 PM

Getting a little wheel lift

Awesome! Im inspired to build my own now after seeing this. How did you fix the checker plate onto the slides ?

Sounds similar to the Aus 120 VX or Grande. I wasn't using those models in comparison as they have many more options available. If you were to compare both top of the range 150 and 120 it would be a no brainer I would think, apart from the price difference .

Sounds like the UK models are a little different. Stands to reason then that the UK 150 is better again than the Aus 150 ? Is yours the Higher spec 120 swell @Animal Mother ?

120 higher fuel capacity 180lt fuel tank , 4 speed auto - 150 more economical 150lt fuel tank ,5 speed auto 120 Lighter and better space in the rear - 150 bigger, less room in rear but has split fold down seats 150 better ride/ comfort (rear AC in gxl upwards) 150 has traction control 150...

If they are the same 4.2td I would assume the same seal. The the only difference is the 81 is for the japanese market. Unfortunately I dont know alot about the 80/81

Are they not between the firewall and the back of the engine like mine were? Could be the same.

Installed some diff breathers over the weekend. Was harder than expected but got it done. I bought a kit from Air on board . Rear diff was as easy as swapping a connection and routing a plastic tube upto the engine bay. There was no chance of reaching the connection on the front diff ...

Had a squealing and ticking noise come from the front of the engine. Narrowed it down to the Alternator. It was only replaced 18 months ago. Apparently because its fitted in a 4x4 it has only a 1yr warranty. I thought I would try replacing the over run pulley first as they are known to have...

Same as the Aussie version (EURO 4). If you install the blanking plate with 7mm hole it lets through just enough gases to keep the Sensors happy. Also a Catch can will go a long way to keeping it clean, best of both worlds. I have done neither yet but when I do the clean I will throw the plate in.

Hi Animal, did you fit the EGR blanking plate with 7mm hole while you did the EGR clean ? aves having to clean it again

Re-installed the winch , works mint! Thanks for the tips. Put her in today for Transmission service, I haven't driven it myself . The wife hasn't noticed any difference.

Went out to tension my winch rope today and she didnt turn. Worked out it was the motor and when I stripped it down there was a lot of rusty sludge in there. Anyone have an ideas on the best way to rectify this mess? Worst part is I have yet to use it in anger! Rusty by Gasmanjc posted May 13...

Poor Design . They were made differently to meet Euro emissions standards(some coating removed). They crack from the edge and through the gudgeon pin . Also the Injectors were not the greatest. They are known to fail also causing the inferior piston to melt or crack. A lot of guys are now...

Depends on which one you're after. The D4D up until 2014 were prone to piston failure. Pretty sure EU vehicles were recalled but toyota AU wont come to the party. The Latest are having DPF issues here. The V6 petrol is trouble free but thirsty. Otherwise an awesome car. Not a lot of room for...

Scored almost a complete hayman reese tow bar kit for $250. Install went well Just missing the ECU module so nothing interferes with the cars computer and the actual patch a trailer would plug into. I dont own a trailer yet so it will serve as a recovery point until then towbar kit by Gasmanjc...
