Pp you made me go out with a torch. Don't know what I've looked at before but I was sure that there was a lower bumpstop - which there isn't so I was wrong about the suspension design limiting the downward travel on these cars. Explains why my RAIDs popped their rebound bumpstops with raised springs! Also explains the broken CV joints on 90 series & Hiluxes.

Re "coilover strut"... did you get that from any technical reference? They are very, very different design from actual struts so I'm reluctant to go with that....

Great video...that is using every last mm of travel and room, touching a little but awesome to see it like that.

Coilovers are adjustable, struts aren't? Is that the difference?

Actually, a "Coilover" is short for "coil spring over strut". The coilover is in fact a basic component of the MacPherson strut suspension, not a suspension design in itself. The Prado has upper and lower wishbones with a coilover strut.

Actually, that should probably read "The Prado has double wishbones and a coil strut".
