Closing 110,000k I'm closing 110,000 k on my FJC. I wheel a bit but not as much as I would like too.. (no Time) Issues to date. A broken brake spring & a broken windshiels thanks to a passing car throwing a stone. Has 3" lift and run Dyna pro MT's. This truck is an 07.. I take it every where...

Do check every thing. I've heard of this before but never heard the remedy to the fix. I decided when I got a trailer to pull behind my FJ I'd have the dealer do it. For $125.00 I have a perfectly functioning harness with no issues. It only took them 45 minutes. If you find the fix please post...

Get your Ham Radio Ticket. Bigger selection of radio gear and lots of different mounting options. In the long run if you do not you will wish you had..;)

2007 FJ Cruiser 88,000kms = 54,680miles and climbing:)

Nexus_8 That dealer brings them over from BC every so often. That is where I traded my LJ78 in just this last June. I am now Land Cruiserless..BUT I do have an Old Jeep:grinpimp: to get me around did the 1990 have around 89000k on it?

Thanks Wayne. It has been a blast here.:D I'm sure my wife will love the Rav 4 Limited she is getting tomorrow. Cheers.

It had to happen sooner or later. NO not a blown head or gasket. My babe has been traded in.:crybaby: I will no longer be the proud owner of a 1990 Toyota Prado.:crybaby: It has been a blast here over the last few years.:) I've learned a heck of a lot about the vehicle, more than any other I...

I had mine fixed shortly after I bought my truck. a few years ago. Same kind of weapy leaking. I had mine recored. While they were at it I asked them to add another row of core over and above what the original rad had.. Which they did. Rad has been solid ever since the recore. Hope that...

Hey Wayne.. When did you move ? I thought you were still out West Buddy.. Rich

The sensor is on the block above and sorta behind the starter. It is not the one on the thermostate housing. That would have been an easy fix. I have already fixed my problem ages ago,, check the posts.:hhmm:

Yes Rummat81.. Thanks so much I have it already printed out.. err ah... long ago.. Tells the pin outs. I finally just used that pin out to locate wires in the harnes. I'm still using this set up -- It reminds me of a choke from the old days.. Regards

Great job ... Pradocruzer Shows what can be done to our Prados.. Lift wise.. I also like the info on comparison of spring heights. My Prado is starting the famous lean.. to the right.. :) Will have to fix that soon too I guess. Closing 90,000Kms too almost time for belts etc.. Regards

Well.. I just ordered a new one.. So all will be good when it gets here.. Thanks for sharing your fix pradocruiser. I'm wondering if it is a common failure on trucks of our vintage..

Well this is unusual. I think?? I was looking under the hood of the Prado the other day and went to check the trany fluid. Grabed the stick pulled on it the stick came up along with part of the tubing that holds it..:crybaby: Looks like it broke just at the bracket that is bolted to the engine...

prato t Do you have a picture of the breather that blows oil into the turbo ? I'd like to have a look at mine. But not sure which hose. Regards
