Hi Guys. When checking my truck today I noticed that both UJ's in the front prop are worn. Have filled them with grease at the moment to keep using the truck for a couple of days. What make of joints would you or have you used. I fitted a Roughtrax one in the rear last year. Milner use TOYO...

Hi. I have just fitted a lithium battery in my caravan hooked up to a 100watt solar panel with an MPPT solar controller. I want to fit a DC/DC charger. Does this need to go in the caravan or should I fit it in the truck? I was thinking of using Anderson connectors to supply the charger along...

Hi. A few weeks ago I had a test drive in a 2011 150 series LC5. We had it for an hour and tried a mixture of back roads and m/way driving. I haven't driven one before(already tried a 120) so took up the offer from my local dealer. Driving back home afterwards in my 98 Colorado my wife and i...

Hi. I currently drive a 1998 Colorado as a daily driver. It does everything I want(towing my caravan, etc) but I am retiring next year and I am thinking of upgrading to a 120. I know these are getting on a bit but I am thinking of getting a more comfortable, slightly modern drive. I am looking...

The time has come for me to replace my disks and brake pads on my Colorado. I normally use Borg and Beck discs with the same make pads. I remember reading somewhere on here about Milners ceramic brake pads. I think it was @Chris with his 80 series. I have tried with the search but not had much...

Hi. My BIL is coming over to the UK the first week of March and he is leaving his Prado TX here with me so I can sell it. He has moved to France to live and has now purchased a french registered car. The Prado is in good condition with very little rust underneath and none on the bodywork. The...

HI. I have just bought a new caravan with thoughts of retiring next year. I tow with a 98 Colorado LWB which I have 20% uprated Suplex springs front and rear matched with Monroe adventure shocks. The springs and front shocks are from Roughtrax and are just over two years old (24000mls). The...

Hi. Don't know if this is in the right section so please move it if not. I have fitted the Roughtrax springs and shocks to my Colorado as it has just passed 225k miles and thought it was getting a bit tired. Also changed because one of the Milner rear springs snapped on me when towing my...

Bought this ages ago with all good intentions but didn't get there. :oops: It is 43 inches(110cms) wide by 67 inches(171cms) long and is 6inches(150mm) from top rail to the base. As you can see in the photo's the bolts have gone rusty and the coating is coming off one of the corner castings. I...

Just started getting my Collie ready for the M O T and was checking brakes , etc as you do. I noticed that the rear pads are worn out but the front ones are hardly worn at all. This cant be right can it? I thought the front should wear out quicker than the back ones. This will be my second set...

Hi, guys. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this so if not could the moderators move it to the correct section. Had a look at an Australian import Prado today. It was a silver GXL with 64k on the clock. Think it was the equivalent spec of the lc3 apart from having LSD instead of rear...

Need a bit of advice with my Colorado 95. I took off a set of MK3 Surf wheels ( 16x7jj 15 fitted with 265/70x16 tyres) and fitted some five spoke wheels from another Surf (16x8jj 0 with 275/70 x16 tyres). These are aftermarket wheels. The front wheels are General grabbers UHP and the back wheels...

Hope you can help me with this, guys. My Colorado KZTE was struggling to pull itself up some of the hills in Devon last week even with the O/D switched off. I had adjusted the kick down cable up by half a turn on the thread to try and get it to kick down out of overdrive before speed dropped to...

Guys, I use a 300watt inverter to power my tv, sky box, etc when I am away in my caravan on 12v weekends ie no mains hook up. I power my inverter by using two 96amp hr batteries wired up in parallel to give me roughly double the amp/hr. This setup gives me 18hrs of use(not continuous) and when...

Hi. My brother-in-law is moving to France to live and is after a pair of Colorado/Prado LHD headlamps. Before we try Milners, etc I was wondering if any one has a pair they dont use any more and would be interested in selling. Thanks

How do I resize my photos once I have posted them in the thread? I tried to resize them once and only suceeded in deleting them. I would like to make the pics bigger in the intercooler write up in any other mods that I did but dont want to lose them again!

Just to say thanks to Andy for the MEOS stereo. It arrived securely packaged and on time. Andy kept me informed by text and phone throughout and answered any questions I had before I made up my mind about the unit. Thanks again, Andy. Steve H

Hi, guys. Met Paul today who told me about this site so thought I better come and have a look. Recognise some of the names from the "other side" and some I dont. Some of you know me as Wildmutt on the other forum. I drive a 1998 Colorado 3ltr LWB with virtually no mods but hoping to play around...
