    Auxiliary Fuel tank for the empty space under the LX600?

    I don't think they have them for the petrol/gasoline versions yet, but LongRanger (Out of Town 4WD) have made them for previous models. You could try contacting Ric Black from Out of Town 4WD and ask him if they plan making petrol/gas versions of the tanks. Contact Us | The Long Ranger -...

    200-series Touring Build

    The updates are getting few and far between these days. Who knew that work and kids gobbled up so much time! The latest one is splitting the factory dual batteries into 1x starting and 1x auxilliary/deep cycle, along with the installation of a Redarc DC-DC/Solar charger. Really happy with how...

    Correcting a KDSS lean

    Can't help you with which spring goes on which side. As far as the KDSS procedure goes.... How much difference do you have side-to-side? Did it reduce the lean? Did you try going to a higher object?

    Correcting a KDSS lean

    Here's a quick and easy fix for the dreaded KDSS lean. Shown on a LandCruiser 200, but the same method should work for a KDSS-equipped Prado or 4-Runner. Web page with written instructions: http://www.project200.com.au/kdss-balance-lean/

    200-series Touring Build

    Howdy all, I've just done a page and video covering an oil and filter change in the twin turbo diesel. I know this is a US site and you miss out on this wonder of engineering, but there are no doubt a few people on the forum from countries where the 1VD is available, so here's the link...

    200-series Touring Build

    Hi all, I've spent the last few months rebuilding the website into something that's mobile-friendly, adding comments/Q&A to each page, plus moving it so it's directly accessible from project200.com.au instead of being redirected to the Australian Images site. I think I've ironed out all the...

    200-series Touring Build

    Hi all, Probably my most asked about mods, the chip and exhaust, are finally done and the video/article are up. It was all fitted back in November last year, and since then I've been driving and testing to check for any problems and measure performance and economy. Running the 'Max Power'...

    200-series Touring Build

    Hi all, Apologies for the delay with this update. Too many projects! The build progress update and central-Australian trip report is now online. We had a fantastic trip, covering 8,500km through Central Australia. There's a video featuring driving footage and some still images we captured...

    Australian outback corrugations - slowmo video of 200 series

    There are a few theories about the cause, and most include something about one bump starting them off. But there have been tests done with no suspension, and even just ploughs on the sand, and the corrugations still form. People have theorised that lower tyre pressures make them form more...

    Australian outback corrugations - slowmo video of 200 series

    Hi all, While in central Australia last month I took the opportunity to get some slow motion footage of the 200 over some pretty bad corrugations (AKA washboard road). It's easy to see why abandoned trailers often litter the roadside after they've been shaken apart on these roads! Very...

    200-series Touring Build

    Hi all, I’ve just finished installing a set of adjustable upper control arms (UCAs) into the front of the 200. If you've lifted your 200, then you're probably aware that it's very difficult to get correct wheel alignment afterwards due to a lack of camber adjustment range on the lower arms...

    200-series Touring Build

    You never know. Our dollar is down 25% at present, and if they quote you wholesale price plus shipping (rather than retail), it might be OK. There are also a few dealers on eBay.com.au who might sell/ship them for you.

    200-series Touring Build

    Hi all, It's been a while, but the next install article/video is now up. I've added a set of Firestone Coil-rite airbags to the rear of the 200. The airbags are controlled via an Air On Board gauge/control panel mounted into the jack storage area. The airbags I used were the #4164 model...

    200-series Touring Build

    Just finished installing a Long Ranger TR68L 180L replacement for the sub-tank, taking fuel capacity to 273 litres. I had considered going for their fuel-water combination tank (TR68W), but in the end decided on all-fuel since I usually have my camper with me when travelling (80-odd litres...
