Fit the rear shocks, realized that the 2 OEM shocks are still pretty good then pop the left airbag during test drive because I didn't retain it on the top (missing clip). Perhaps I'll buy a new pair from Amayama. Car will probably sit in the Garage for 2 weeks >.< . Silly me

Narva headlight globes went in, but only after both batteries were removed => why do they put ropes on some batteries, damn thing broke on the first tug!
Oil filter and oil change => the Aldi inspection camera worked well, displaying a clean oil pickup.
Replaced that triangular rubber thing which holds the muffler => Mr Toyo sure makes it hard with the flange on the end of the metal projection => atleast it won't come off again anytime soon!Comment

Well not today but yesterday we went for a family outing to Duck Creek Rd. A lot more rocky and rutted out since I was last there a few years ago which I was pleased with. made it more of an adventure and took longer. All the off shoot tracks are now closed off (being private property) which is a little shame but understandable.2007 GXL V6 - ARB Bullbar with LED lights, snorkel, extractors, 2 1/4" dual exhaust, K&N filter, dimpled/slotted rotors, headrest dvd players, Ebay Satnav/reverse camera, GME 3100TX, Tigerz11 Side awning on custom brackets with Maxtrax mounts, 300W Invertor, ARB Underbody protection, Lightbar and STZ 265/70 tyres.
Wish list in order I'll get them: Sliders, 2" lift, E-locker, Winch bar with winch.Comment

Took her to Toyota Spares to get a quote for a new Left Hand Side Flare... $474 just in case you are wondering.
What I thought was broken clips turns out to be a snapped front mounting tab. Panel repair joint suggested I just get in there and tek screw it on
Now just got to figure out how to get behind the Sovereign Bar!

What about getting the tab plastic welded back on or scuff up the plastic around the tab and on the tab and use some kneadit epoxy putty to hold it in position. We use it at work to repair all sorts of stuff.Originally posted by r4ndll View PostTook her to Toyota Spares to get a quote for a new Left Hand Side Flare... $474 just in case you are wondering.

Other option is the superglue with the dry powder additive. http://www.rapid-fix.com/newsite/ind...what-can-i-fixComment

Removed the OEM Sidesteps form my 120, and put the TJM modular side steps on! Damn, those are a pair of heavy things when you fit them alone :-D
Pics can be fund in my "Build Up" in a few hours.
Have a nice day @all!

Got the 120k service done at the local Toyota stealership. Ouch!! Oh well it had to be done and actually felt better on the drive home. Hopefully it wasn't the placebo effect of forking out so much $$$$$2008 Prado 120 GXL V6 auto. Stock...but slowly building it upComment

Reordered a replacement O2 sensor after getting the part number wrong and ordered the incorrect one (ordered an Air Fuel sensor which is pre-cat instead of post-cat). Price from Amayama for genuine was $166 + $30 shipping from UAE compared to $371 exGST from Toyota.

Added about 200kg of mud driving between Banjawan and Leinster and then spent an hour with a sharp stick to get most of it out of the mud flaps. Tomorrow will add more mud up near Wiluna.Dave

Front: KTFR-101H, installed on lowest circlipOriginally posted by Wtrxprs007 View Post
Rear: KTRR-102
I have ARB steel bar, dual batt and winch on the front. Are you thinking of upgrading?Comment

Ive got the KTFR-101 springs on mine at the middle clip position I think (front struts were ready struts) with arb steel bar and bushskinz plates and I have around the same measurements as you. I think it's perfect enough for nowOriginally posted by ejukated View Post[B]CANYONEROOOOO *whipping in the distance*

yeah its pretty much the same setup. The circlips are around 10-12mm apart and the KTFR-101H is 10mm longer than the KTFR-101, we have the same preload on the front struts.Comment

Well we're on a 2 month trip up to Darwin from Perth and back ,
a few days ago we were filling up in Kunnanara , first tank empty second tank about 20 lts out , so topped up with PETROL instead of DIESEL , always so carefull but waiting at the pump for ages while a bloke was waiting for chips, grrrr, didn't check the pump,
Anyway had it all drained out and new filter $250 all up plus all my pumped out fuel, plus a fill up with diesel , so a costly day really plus half a day wasted ,
Up in Darwin for a week or so and a coast road back to Perth with all the stops in between .
That's what I did in my 120 kd .
Towing my van around the 2 . 2 tonn loaded was leaving in D ( 5 th ) but wasn't locking at times so mostly tow in 4 at about 2300 ish around the 90 ish and it feels fine , a few comments on P CREW recommended 4 th anyway , might look into the torque converter lockup when I get back , but that's a question for another day.
Cheers Alan.Comment
