  • 2002 TX 'tourer' buildup...

    Decided it's time to share my experience in tailoring my 2002 95 Series TX to my own preferences/needs, hopefully helping some others along the way in making the decisions and mods that I agonised over forever...

    I picked up the car as the cliche 'one woman owner, always garaged, never been off road' deal. Turned out to be true thankfully, photos of the day I first inspected the car below. It was completely stock, full log book with Toyota dealer servicing. Only complaint was it's liberal dosing of Eau de Golden Retriever, but a whole lot of steam cleaning and airing sorted that out over time.

        Goodyear Wrangler A/T 265/75/16, Safari Snorkel, Extended diff breathers

        Photos of each to follow!

        Goodyear Wrangler A/T 265/75/16
        After a pretty scary wet weather outing in the Glasshouse Mountains I decided it was time to ditch the Grandtreks, ended up getting a set of Wranglers as mt old man had good experiences with them. Made a marked improvement to off road grip, but still good on road (though you can feel the extra weight, it's not too bad)

        Safari Snorkel
        Ever cut a large hole in your otherwise unmolested prado? Daunting stuff, but well worth it. I was finding that beach driving was leaving me with sand in the air filter, which can't be good. Installed it myself (with help), instructions were spot on and process was time consuming but not overly difficult. No noticeable change in power, fuel economy or induction noise. Looking a bit less 'one lady owner' now thankfully!

        Extended diff breathers
        Bought the components from a place in Brendale, installed them myself, quite an easy task. Ran rear breather line up through grommet in the compartment that stores the jack etc and tied off the line/filter in that compartment. Raised the front breather line up to firewall level. Easy job and good for peace of mind. Alarmed at how basic the factory breather cap was.

          3rd row seats out, parcel shelf installed, Canvas seat covers fitted

          I decided to ditch the third row seats and fit a board in their place to create a separate storage area (while still retaining a versatile and large main 'boot' space.

                Prado 90/95 dash rattle fix

                As 95 series owners would know, the dash is held on by... well, very little it seems. While my example was pretty mild compared to some, the dash rattle was a real letdown in terms of the driving (and passenger experience). I researched a lot, and with the help of this and the LCOOL forum was pretty confident I could enact the popular dash fix.

                Her's how I did it and the photos: http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...265#post352265

                      RDA Extreme slotted rotors and pads fitted to front

                      Easy DIY job, and very cost effective @ $195 for all parts delivered. Did I mention the bling?
