Just took over my Dad's 1997 Prado 90 Auto Diesel 3.0 1KZ-TE, took it to my mech as the car has not been driven or even engine start for 2 yrs!
After doing the normal oil changes Engine/Tranny/Diff/Transfer Case, my mech test drove the Prado but he found out that the car is stuck on Hi 4WD gear , jacked up the car on all 4s n he tested to put load on all 4 wheel (roughly rubbing his steel toe boots against each wheel) so we tot it might be the rear diff so we took it apart


but everthing was in working conditions besides being dirty, so my mech suspected the Transfer case as he notice few drops of water even after changing the oil, so open we did


horror as we see water n mud!
