OME on 90 series

Just installed my OME suspension today. Got a nifty 2.5 inches of lift, and increased ground clearance with 275/70R16 BFG ATs. The Prado's ride is a lot better now, with significantly less body roll than i had with the worn out original suspension. Excuse the crappy cell phone photos, more photos to come on Monday after i test it off road.

Looks sweet!

Is that a factory winch in your bumper? What engine does your 90 series have?

Thanks Ocelot!

Yes, that is a factory 6000 warn winch, it came with the original Teq (vintage style-grey plastic) remote, a nice Teq carrying bag for the remote, Toyota fairlead cover (I removed it) and military spec plug for the remote (with the screw-on metal cover). I have a 3RZFE 2.7L, the same in some Tacos and 4runners. No diesel or 5VZFE Prados here unfortunately.



Here's the "before" pic, with the fairlead cover.

Man north america really gets the shaft, we miss out on so much cool stuff.

What type of 4WD system does it have? Just the same part-time one the 4-Runner gets? Does it have a rear diff lock?

I think the 4WD system is very similar to the 4runner's if not the same. We have a Jamboree this weekend, I'll try to find a 4runner to compare.

Some Prados are equipped with the e-locker, but not in Chile. See? We miss some good stuff too. In any case, a rear locker is my next upgrade.
