Bit on the high side. You can get complete kits for around $1200. Then you remove the rear coils because you have airbags and it drops to $1000. That ends up being $700 labour. Have you seen the DIY suspension install guides? -
I got a couple of quotes around the same price but I might go back and see if I can get a better price - perhaps a 'benefit' of living in Canberra. I have skimmed through some of the DIY guides but suspension is not something I want to play with myself (for now anyway)Originally posted by amts View Post2008 4.0L Grande, Pirelli Scorpion AT tyres, ARB Deluxe Winch bar, Warn XD9000 winch, Safari snorkel, Old Man Emu Suspension (original airbags in rear), IPF Driving Lights, Rhino Pioneer Platform Rack and attachment bars, Adventure Kings rooftop tent (when required), Waeco CFX65DZ and slide, Hayman-Reese cargo barrier, custom storage and Ark battery pack in cargo areaComment

[QUOTE=joel231;497217]Did a couple of improvements today to the 120.
USB Charger
Have had a set in the back of my Prado for over a year. They stopped working whilst I was away recently. Went back to the auto electrician who fixed but said the problem was I had plugged in an Ipad which needs 2 amps and a mobile phone which needs 1 amp at the same time. The total these can handle is 2 amps. 2 phones fine but only one other device on its own.Terry

Old Man Emu suspension upgrade fitted today (new 2884 coils and 90000 sports struts in front, 60004 sports shocks in rear). Front is now at approx 790mm (was around 720 from memory). It looks so much higher. Hopefully be able to try it out at Bendethera next week (weather permitting).
Also slowly working up the electrical fit out in the rear - fuse box is in the rear and cables are in place waiting for me to put on the connectors.Attached Files2008 4.0L Grande, Pirelli Scorpion AT tyres, ARB Deluxe Winch bar, Warn XD9000 winch, Safari snorkel, Old Man Emu Suspension (original airbags in rear), IPF Driving Lights, Rhino Pioneer Platform Rack and attachment bars, Adventure Kings rooftop tent (when required), Waeco CFX65DZ and slide, Hayman-Reese cargo barrier, custom storage and Ark battery pack in cargo areaComment

Did our final unhitch of our caravan after 18 months travelling oz
we traveled just under 50,000km in our 1kz 120 series, can't fault the rig at all in our travels, it handled towing the 2.5t van and the extra crap in it pretty good. Back to reality in a few weeks

I guessing it is going to take some time to settle down after that journey.Originally posted by zutta View PostDid our final unhitch of our caravan after 18 months travelling oz we traveled just under 50,000km in our 1kz 120 series, can't fault the rig at all in our travels, it handled towing the 2.5t van and the extra crap in it pretty good.

How did the 1kz perform over that trip? Have you worked out how much fuel you used on the trip.New 2015 150s GX 5 seater with floor mats, towbar and a big wish list
Previously a 2004 120s 1KZ GX silver manual with stuff
