We all know the limitations of IFS

Tapage · 06-09-06, 08:32 AM

In this place I thought are more about the position no directly with the flex capabilities of the suspension.

TEPUI · 06-09-06, 08:43 AM

Tapage is right. In the position I was in I wouldnt get much more flex even if i had a solid front axle.

BJ-44 · 06-09-06, 06:44 PM

Surf in the pretty much the same position but tire much closer to the ground. His used to look like your Prado three wheeling it all the time. Until we put the LJ-78 Prado axle under it. Clean looking Prado though too bad they didn't make a 90 series with a straight axle option.

We see a lot of Prados here but that is is the first 2 door I have seen. How much shorter than the 4 door are they?

The 5 door Prado has a 105 in wheelbase whereas the 3 door has a 93 in wheelbase.

You know, seeing these pics makes me wonder why toyota went to all the trouble to build the FJ Cruiser. I guess they wanted to make a style statement.

BJ-44 · 06-13-06, 07:15 AM

Never thought about that, they should have just started selling the Prado in the states I think it has a better looking body style than the FJ.

Its kind of strange some of the aussie 4x4 mags are wondering why we never got the FJ cruiser here,they seem to think it would have caught on if Toyota were prepared to make RHD model.
I hear a local multi millionaire had one shipped to oz as soon as they were released.
Here is pic of my brother digging his work car out because it has Bridgestone 693 with 40 psi on the beach

Please dont ask me about the blue tyres,it just happened that way

Exactly one rear door shorter

.
I dont like the 2 door ,it looks like a 4 door that was shortened in someones backyard

I suppose it would grow on you

There are a few imports in oz,I have one near work I see every day

Aussie cruiser · 06-13-06, 06:24 PM

Hey rosco what's with the blue tyres?
