What did you do to your 120 today?

[Mattery]

Nice, you are going to love it. But removing the back seats is a gateway drug in to fridges, dual batteries, lift kits, winches, bash plates etc. Dont say i didn't warn you.

Haha I come from a background of fiddling with rice burners (mainly turbo Toyotas) and I have a shocking history of ripping things out for weight reduction.... But the ravages of time have tamed me (wife/kids). Camping and road trips here we come.

Don't have too many grand plans just yet but probably:

The paint is good but needs some wax... slight clear cote fade in parts but no peeling

Need to fix the bit of plastic trim over the drivers side step (I think I'll have to take the step off to get to the clips?)

I'm a sucker for a nice sound system: Bluetooth head unit, 5 channel amp under the drivers seat, 6x9 splits front, 6" 2 way rear and hopefully a 12" sub mounted in the boot, although I don't want to hack into the trim too much... Might have to make do with a small sub box then at least I can remove if needed.

Bull bar, because I have some Great Whites from my old work ute that need something to bolt on to. I'm thinking xrox but they are a bit P plate Rockingham hilux chic.. But they are cheaper than ARB etc, and lighter which I like. Not too fussed about brute strength I don't plan on hopping over rocks any time soon.

2" Lift kit... Good brands anyone?

Awning

Maybe UHF, I like the idea of a DIN mount so it's under the head unit.

Down the track maybe dual batteries, fridge etc if I think it will get some use. Never really understood the point of mega heavy drawers in the back but each to their own.

Mechanical stuff I don't think there's much to do other than general maintenance. Might add a tranny cooler and swap the tranny fluid but at 150kms it is probably still good? Anyone selling a TRD supercharger kit? Do 2JZs fit in?? OK back to reality....


Sorry to bore you all this list was mainly for my benefit!

Never mind the list when you remove the second row as well

Finally bought a 120! Well on Sunday to be exact.

Got lucky and found a mint GXL with leather and 151k kms at a steal price.
haven't done much other than take the back seats out and trying to wax out the lightly oxidized paint.

This arvo i installed a set of Kaon bash plates, they are really well made with recessed bolts and fitted up no issues.

No posts in this one for a while.

Today i fitted up a TPMS to all 5 tyres with internal sensors, so far it's working well. Tomorrow i will set it up properly, simulate a flat etc and get the alarms setup.

Well it was the end of an era yesterday as I had to have the front windscreen replaced due to a large stone hit which means I have now lost my Pradopoint sticker that was across the top that I have had on there since 2012.

Nice! Did you have any details for the headrests? I'm keen to buy a set for the kids.

where did you buy the RJ45 switch for 120? I just found out that the UHF handset connects using that plug

I just grabbed it from Ebay https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LIGHTFOR...O/282999793635 there are also a couple of other generic brands a few bucks cheaper. Dont know if they are the same quality or not, but really happy with the one i purchased. Im running an Icom IC 2800h through it.

Slow day in the shed. Fitted a dual 2amp USB in one of the switch blanks, and an rj45 in another for the UHF microphone. Also mounted the main body of the radio properly under the front seat, radio is an Icom IC-2800h 2m/70cm.

Can I run OBDII scanner on 2005 V6 Manual 120 ? I have purchased OBDLink MX. when it connects it is great... Connection is totally unreliable.

been a while since posting but upgraded the headunit. got a jvc kw-m740bt and wow did not expect the sound quality difference with a new headunit. stock speakers have more punch than i thought

No, at least not yet. It's a stock na VL Berlina with 5 speed manual, however it's got a turbo block so the plan is to convert it. The wife wasn't pleased with my plans to supercharge the VE Redline with so few k's on it, so the VL will give me an excuse to play in the shed and relive my misspent youth.

I had a Berlina 5 speed, non turbo very rare in that combination, best of luck with it.

please tell me it’s a VL Turbo
