      Dprio34 replied to the thread Almost quitting.
      @LivLandCruizer ,you "did some research and have concluded the cylinder head is cracked." Did you research forums or research under the hood and under the vehicle. A cracked cylinder head generally won't lose coolant as fast as a cracked...

      I had a similar issue in mine, I removed the level sender inside the tank through the inspection window under the carpet, cleaned it well (contacts and everything), and it worked fine then.

      I second this hitch. There is also a factory option for split rear bumper trays too which is what I did. Although I think I might like @chap79 's notched version better?

      I used this. Had to make a cut in the aluminum to make it fit but it turned out well. CURT 13091 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Fits Select Mitsubishi Montero

      Something like this but you have to find the right bolt pattern that matches your trucks. I personally wouldn’t tow with this but should work fine for a bike rack

      Dprio34 reacted to gilmorneau's post in the thread import customs numbers with Like Like.
      8408.20 is diesel engines for the propulsion of vehicles The next number, 20, indicates the motor is for use in passenger cars and/or light duty trucks The last number, 00, is just a place holder since there’s no further categorization...

      Need intended use, number of cylinders and displacement to get the correct code. For example, for a 4 liter, 6 cylinder diesel for use in a Landcruiser, start at 8408.20.20.00 Whatever you have should be close to that.

      Yes, I removed and replaced all the crush washers and thoroughly cleaned the seats along with replacing the heat shield washers and the leakage pipe washer with the holes then torqued the injectors to spec. When I put everything back together I...

      Hopefully you bought and installed brand-new aluminum crush washers for the nozzle tips. You can't re-use those. You also need to clean the seat in the head that they sit on. If this work is not done, then they leak and the nozzle will get...

      Dprio34 reacted to willnic's post in the thread Aligning doors and front fender with Like Like.
      After some tips for getting the doors and front fender to line up on a SWB 70 series. Rear edge is ok. Doors are aftermarket Chinese and have been difficult to get siting right. Is the front fender able to be adjusted? Thanks!

      Dprio34 reacted to Lead Head's post in the thread LJ78 Prado 2LTE turbo oil leak with Like Like.
      You need to verify the turbo drain actually drains. Disconnect the hose from the turbo, stick a funnel in it. You should be able to rapidly and continously pour lots of oil down the tube without it backing up. Turbos cannot tolerate ANY...

      Dprio34 reacted to GTSSportCoupe's post in the thread LJ78 Prado 2LTE turbo oil leak with Like Like.
      Probably related to high crank case pressure from incorrect ventilation of breather in valve cover and or lots of blow by. How's the compression? If you unscrew oil filler cap and set in hole while engine is idling, does it blow out of the...

      Thanks everyone for the help. I ran a new wire directly from the output of the starter relay to the starter solenoid and it worked much better for several days. On the way home, I had a similar click no start several times but it resolved after a...

      This event is large enough to attract an impressive group of sponsors and at the same time, small enough that no one gets lost in the crowd. A large number of attendees have attended year after year, and if you haven’t, plan on joining us. We’ll...

      Thanks for your reply. Yes, my alternator is 41 years old and has never let me down. I’m just trying to find one with higher amperage to charge the lithium battery in the back and power a good audio system, but I haven't seen any alternatives to...

      Last Rubicon Trip for me this year. Never disappoints. It’s my happy place.

      i swear that any lift springs from aus do this as they have strict rules about lift height so they lie about how much the lift kit raises it, 50mm is more like 3"-4" in aus measuring

      Not sure if this will be of much use, but this is all I could find in my files.

      The intermittent nature of your symptoms suggest electronics to me. Spill control valve sounds like something to check. You might consider opening up the ECU and carefully examining the board for evidence of leaking capacitors and damaged...

      Also took the opportunity to paint the dash. I wanted to use the grab bar, so drilled the holes and added stiffening braces to mimic the factory style. Pics aren't great, but you get the point.

      With the bare cab I couldn't help myself. I know you dont need to cover this much, but its just how I am. Plus I've collected the deadener for cheap on marketplace. So... prep, POR15, killmat and dynamat then I used the RHD carpet. I used siless...

      Dprio34 replied to the thread 2l alternator swap.
      I am not aware of any such animal. I've seen this question posted before. Most people want a winch or brighter lights, hence want more amps. I'm pretty sure that stock alternator is capable of doing most things within reason. I had mine...

      Thanks Dprio. If you have diagrams you can share I would be grateful. I did some more testing and edited the thread a bit. Popping the clutch and such works fine and I've been to the off-roading school at Uwharrie and practiced all of that stuff...

      @richmason , I would start at the melted wire. I'm not at my house right now, so don't have access to the diagrams. Check Fusible Link as well. Not ideal, but as a "quick fix" try the screwdriver trick on the starter terminals or roll it down...
