Not a link but here's the description. Sorry so late but not on personal computer often. Had them for a year now and no issues to report. Fahren 2024 Newest H4/9003 LED Headlight Bulbs, 36000LM 900% Brighter, 1:1 Size Hi/Lo Dual Beam H4 HB2 LED Bulbs, 6500K Cool White, Direct Installation...

I went on a shopping spree on Amazon and purchased Hella E code H4 headlights, LED bulbs and relays. I've been running them for over a year and the light difference is amazing. I don't get high beamed at all. I did find that they washed out the turn signal lights, after a few surprises...

Took a trip to the Salmon lake Resort on the Douglas Lake Ranch. This is heading towards Merritt on the Douglas Lake Rd. 60km of nothing but a beautiful road to cruise on. Pyrometer and boost gauge worked flawlessly. Only hiccup was a really bad death wobble just outside of Merritt, two...

So.... Radiator decided to bleed red out of the top seam, that cost me $1k for a re cored radiator, I'm taking the opportunity to switch to waterless coolant. I'm currently flushing out all the rust and will be using the prep fluid to purge all the water out. I am taking the opportunity to...

Well, I definitely pay attention to different things when I'm driving the Prado. She's a little bit skittish on the highway and gets spooked by puddles, frost heaves and bumps, any one of those will cause either a death wobble or an instant change in heading. One funny thing I've noticed is...

I'm not a shutter bug but I get the point. I'll take pics and post but here's a couple I took Old Fan vs new, not a good picture but fits right in, E-Bay purchase out of Australia $110 CDN to my door. I'll take pics of new fan installed. so far when 4WD light works it doesn't blink, I did...

long term update, had the LJ78 for a year now, updates so far. -Never had 4WD, instantly blames the power hubs so replaced them with Aisin manual hubs with spacers from RADD Cruisers. I discovered the little gear which drives the power hub was missing on both sides :mad: sabotage! the 4WD...

Thanks for the reply, I was stopped when I engaged the hub lock and 4HI. I then proceeded to travel up the hill when the grinding happened (definitely the transfer case) by this time I was committed to making it up the hill and wasn't going to stop to check. the grinding lasted for a couple of...

I got a little too confident in the legendary Toyota reliability and just "assumed" that my new to me 92 Prado's four wheel drive would work and the transfer case wouldn't make any horrible grinding noises.....nope. Bring on the 18% grade hill covered with 4" of snow. I never got stranded but...

Red car is a JDM 1997 Celica SS3, it's my Sons car fresh off the boat from Japan. it's literally like new with only 60k on it. I'm looking at replacing ATF. Differential and transfer case fluids on the Prado. I'll replace the coolant in the spring with some proper Diesel coolant with the anti...

Hello all, I just became the owner of a Silver 1992 Prado LJ78W. it's an auto with 117k on the ODO. I've been lurking for quite a while so thanks to you all for the tips and what to look for when buying one. It has a brand new cylinder head and the body and frame look new, the clearcoat is...
