    Factory Flare Upgrade

    Yaa welcome to Aussie road laws That was my concern was how much work would it be vs spending more on aftermarket ones ADR stands for Australian design rules, basically anything on a car over here has to meet their standards, I found some nice flares on eBay that would have been great but...

    Possible alternator upgrade?

    I was thinking the same, seen both a 120 and a 150 upgrade option, need to sit down once I pick parts and actually do the math on what I need, I’m also in Aus jumping through hoops to get this thing rego’d again, the rules over here are just crazy, which state are you in? Currently I have the...

    Possible alternator upgrade?

    In the process of fixing then upgrading my 98 prado, have already added a second battery in the rear for my fridge and upcoming camp lights and maybe inverter to charge batteries (camera, drone) also debating adding a 2nd starter battery under the hood to give me extra breathing room for high...

    Accessory Activated Bus Bar

    currently in the process of updating a 2001 90 series land cruiser prado, adding a few small electrical parts, and wondering if it's possible to add an accessory powered bus bar? say run a wire from an accessory fuse to a relay, then from the relay connect to a battery? just with looking at...

    Nut dropped into engine bay

    This may sound stupid, upgrading the spot lights on my prado, and stupidly left the nut off of the positive battery terminal on top of the battery, I have no idea where the little bugger has gone, I spent over an hour searching because without it the car won't start, and I had to move the car...

    Replacing rivets with screws on snorkel

    ya I think what I'll do is grab a pack of half and 3/4 length and then I've got a back up if the half's don't hold, and if they do I'll return the 3/4

    Replacing rivets with screws on snorkel

    ya not the same kit as the one I've ordered but they're all the same basic shape, I figured I was probably being over cautious but at the same time it took me 3 attempts to change 4 bulbs yesterday so thought it best to double check on this one, part of me is tempted to just follow the...

    Replacing rivets with screws on snorkel

    thank you, I was more unsure about how long a screw can be before it makes a hole on the interior of the car, I'm learning as I make mistakes on this car and would rather not put a hole at eye level on the drivers side pillar lol

    Replacing rivets with screws on snorkel

    me again currently messing with my 90 ahead of travels, snorkel kit has been ordered however part of the kit is riveting the bracket on the A pillar, which is fine but I'd rather not buy a rivet gun to put 4 rivets in and then never be touched again, so my plan is buying some screws once the...

    Possible brake replacement?

    ya I couldn't find a diesel in a manual near me that wasn't already really kitted out and out of my budget, but the only issue I've had was when I got stuck taking the last door speaker out and ended up having to sit in the car with the interior light on because it got fully dark, and then...

    Possible brake replacement?

    a week, picked it up last Sunday, just I'm aware of it's age and I'm going to be pretty much living out of it for a while so want to make sure It's up to scratch for general road use, but then I'm also aware that just because it feels weird to me, it might be how it's meant to be

    Possible brake replacement?

    I thought that was the case, I'm in no way a nervous driver usually but the size of this has me on edge a little :P So you'd say a brake overhaul probably isn't a bad idea? and i should have said but I left the UK to do a lap of Australia, hence the change of car to something that can handle...

    Possible brake replacement?

    ABS I meant more so both the car I learnt in and the cars I've driven after have all had it, so to me its a normal feeling, where as this when I had to break hard the wheels just locked up, just something I'm not used to. The tires are pretty new, I've attached a pic

    I just more meant I'm not 100% sure how much I trust the guy I bought it off, the weird third party key that doesn't work, the fact he told me its fully up to date with its services however as soon as I sat in the sticker in the top corner of the windscreen says it was due 2 months ago, and the...

    help with 4 wheel drive selector

    I'm not 100% sure, the guy I got it off wasn't the first owner, as far as I can tell it is, I know the fob is sending a signal as the guy who changed the battery tested it in the store, the doors lock with the key so if the remote never works its just something I have to get used to, I've just...

    90 Prado, Only picked it up yesterday and I got it with the engine running so had no idea the locking didn't work till I got home about a 2 hour drive later, so when I finished work today I went and got the battery replaced to check if that was the issue, and no change, now wondering if either...

    help with 4 wheel drive selector

    that would be really helpful thank you, can I ask one more possibly stupid question, because google isn't being very helpful, does yours have remote locking? the guy I bought it off gave me 2 keys, both work, one is the toyota key without any lock controls, and the other is a 3rd party fob which...

    help with 4 wheel drive selector

    I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, I just bought a 2001 manual land cruiser to do a lap of Australia in, I have never owned a 4X4 before, and have no idea how the selector works, and the car didn't come with a manual, the selector has 4 positions, H, HL, N and LL, and I am from google...
