  • another 700 kays on the rig , power is much better with the pacies , and the 2 1/2 " system but ,

    next prob to solve is ... only had two dirt bikes and box of tools on the trailer( 500 kg tops )

    and experienced brake fade down the pass ... have new bendix shoes all round , but standard rotors...

    the tlr, is unbraked but was surprised, as the pedal felt to fade in pump. it was fine all the way , but i did notice the change

    will change the fluid this week, and if it dont feel better next run .. those disc's are on the scrap heap,,,

    T2 rotors here we come,, rigs running nice ,, happy easter all... cheers butane

      • the cheap wipers have been good for the price

        how ever the old rule of you get what you pay for still exists,( like my ebay copy hilux washer jets )

        they dont seem to load the outter surfaces of the wiper blade... would i buy them again ? ( pends if cash is tight )

        answer would be yes but if you have a few spare bucks go the better name brand... but still doing the job, cheers butane

            • Update on the rig

              Generally have had a few minor disappointments with the Prado

              • front felt window top guides on both doors just under rubber outta seals have come out need replacing
              ( Door rattles when shut )

              • rear door plastic bushes on the hinge need replacing
              ( door sags need to lift to close)

              • Uniden cb crystal display don't work ( cb works still )

              maintenance wise

              • brake fluid flushed and changed out
              ( no noticeable difference )

              • clutch fluid drained and flushed
              ( clutch pedal feels better now )

              • mesh behind air cleaner filter removed in air box
              ( made a difference to the pipe tip colour black to grey now ) performance feels the same

              • new overlander battery was put in
              4 months ago due to the first one dropping a cell , still happy with that battery so I went the same again

              • got rid off the eBay wipers and went back to the metal back blades as per stock

              So other than regular oil changes with oil filter every 4000+ kms ( Castrol magnatec 10w 40 ) plus maf clean same intervals is still a very healthy rig. Mickey thompsons going well and happy , they're about 50% used and due for a new set but ok till $ come my way ( new M/T atz going on )

              Have 157 k on the clock now which means I've only put 60 k on it in 8 yrs

              Back with the long life plugs and only run 91 oct for the last 2 yrs giving about 500 kms per tank and still hard on the right boot so I'm happy

              Cheers butane

              • I got my 160k service recently on my Prado and was disappointed, I didn't really notice any better performance.

                So far haven't had to replace anything yet.

                Same year as yours.

                • was the service as per the log book? i do my own and check as per toyota book
                  Hope your truck is healthy and you shouldnt notice any difference?
                  just the cost? or in my case I'm RESPONSIBLE if it lets me down
                  i only have my self to blame but DYI maintenance is easy if you are a mechanical minded person

                  • gave up with spraying the under guards black and recently did them with sound deadner/tar and did most of the visible driveline /diffs /guards for tanks and the front front end

                    made good sence and brushed on thick

                    cheers Butane

                    • dont know if its wrong or right but have been greasing my tail shafts and uni's, with super talcor HD grease,

                      but thats what i use and have been using for the last 5 yrs at least on this rig, with no problems so far
                      ( evan use it for my trailer/and mates trailer bearings with no failures yet , touch wood ! )

                      cheers butane

                      • Yep, per log book.

                        Normally you do notice a small difference.


                        I sprayed the underneath of my car with fish oil, a month before my Fraser trip. It was sticky as and didn't dry in time, now I have sand stuck all under my car.

                        Need to find something to get it all off.

                        • the missus has a new car serviced by holden , no difference when we pick it up
                          its a little petrol turbo cruise.. $$$$

                          i feel the only way to feel any difference is to explore and do it yourself
                          with my rig to be honest, it would not do a three wheel burn out at a tee intersection going right with 5 blokes aboard
                          when i brought it
                          60k later it lights up the same boys with a smile and breaks traction peelin / not smokin but launches like a different truck
                          its healthy and cost sfa too do yourself with a simple tool box and pradopoint.com
                          oil change and filter every 4000k+.

                          cost me about 50 bucks at supercheap and takes 15 min

                          my mate ( next door / over beers watches the oil dropping out of my prado and decided to run it in his basher / work / runner because it comes out still gold , not that it matters but its perfectly good oil )

                          the ticking sound of left bank on the 1GR-FE i believe is reduced by clean oil/some is sound most is gludging , my donk had grease type gunk under the engine oil fill cap when i bought it

                          now its clean as and The left bank is Minimal if not part of the engine uniform sound?

                          would like to know if you run sythyn oil would reduce this in the 1 GR-FE ,

                          but i refuse to go sythyn oil because of the cost

                          50 bucks mate and a spanner?

                          cheers Butane

                          • I also removed the mesh as it does hinder airflow and you still have a thicker wire mesh with wider holes so no tools,nut,bolts can't get injested into the motor from this area
                            I did mine a month or so ago tho really can't feel any great difference with power might help with fuel usage and more air to the motor is always better

                              • 160,000 kays and the rig got a oil change / oil filter / grease / but my power steering fluid change was one that i was pretty happy about , easy as
