    Great job ! - I did mine about a month ago (2004 1KZ-TE engine, automatic) - it looks quite different, mirror image almost. On mine the drain plug is on the passenger side and the transmission cooling on the drivers side of the radiator. Is yours the 1KD motor/D4D?

    Did you change the thermostat at the same time? That was horrible!

    Mine was leaking for a year so i started using water rather than coolant (Mistake) it was just a big rusty mess

    Spent the day hunting gremlins out of the interior lighting system. Pulled out all the door switches and gave them a refurb the did the same to the interior roof lights. There was corrossion on all the copper terminals and red dust a plenty. Now she is all lit up and is working like the day it rolled off the lot.

    Dropped 40 litres of spare 150 octane race fuel left over from today's dyno session in Melbourne. Should give the old girl a nice clean out on the trip home tomorrow.

    Went out to gembrook on Sunday with the guys from Facebook and had a bit of fun in the mud.













    Little video of me climbing a very tight section: https://youtu.be/h6qyx-ZJUU8

    Then found out my prados top speed is 190kmh

    What did you do to your 120 today?

    Full brake fluid change & bleed. Balanced all wheels again and rotated f/r. Plugged my brake controller back in after pulling it out from the RR sport.
    Loaded up 100 litres of 150 octane fuel in drums and new race car onto trailer, all Ready for a road trip to the tuner in Melbourne starting in 6 hours.

    Loved the 120's powered ABS/brake booster pump that auto flushes fluid on rears when doing a fluid. Change. So easy!

    Bit of a job.

    What did other people do with the hose bracket show in pic 3 below that is sort of in the way of the front mounting bolts. I just added packers and bolted over the top of it?





    Hi Mrkrinkle
    Fortunately the "Great Minds" at AMTS designed some cut outs to accommodate the Transmission cooler tube brackets on their under body protection plates.
    I think you will be okay with how you have mounted the plates and brackets.
    maybe you could have flattened the folded edges of the bracket for the amount that sits under the plate or trimmed them off carefully.
    Cheers Troy

    Not really recommended for 4x4s, the oil and dust don't play well. Stick to an OE paper filter.

    160k service done and I fitted my new 3" turbo back exhaust from 4WD Supacentre. It was pretty difficult removing the turbo to exhaust bolts but once they where removed the exhaust went together without any trouble. I also fitted up my new Airtec Snorkel plus replaced the std air filter with a K&N unit.

    No. I ordered this way back in November, she finally arrived off the boat on 10 March and I got the keys on 5 April after canopy instal and GVM upgrade prior to registration. Bought through Toyotaways in Rocko.

    Fitted up the new Bush Skin Bash Plates, new Antenna mount on the bullbar, and wired up the GME again over the weekend.

    Then after a windy attempt at camping down at Preston Beach over the weekend, she got a 10th birthday full detail inside and out ready for her date with Toyota Service for a new Dash on Thursday.
