    Hello OZ: 2018 Prado VX

    This one came w/ it. Observing the many examples around here, these appear to have high versatility - all T channel up there so you can bolt/strap/tie down any and everything it seems. This one is lacking awnings and a snorkel, not for long though. And dual battery, debating onboard air...

    Hello OZ: 2018 Prado VX

    So me and the fam moved down under. Holy Land Cruiser heaven. Got this Prado. Did some Evo Corse 17x8.5 DakarSuperZeros and Maxxis AT811 in 285 70r17. BEEF. Love these things. Do miss the 200, a little, this needs more guts so getting a Steinbauer diesel tune soon. But gotta love the 2.8...

    Bodyshop in Charlotte

    Great shop, had them repair front fender on our 2008 - did a good job. Perfect? Incredible? Nah. But this is a 2008 that's had several fender benders so, whatever. Still recommend.

    Two part question 2008 Toyota Landcruiser. Strange noise at first start up of the day & low coolant levels (hopefully reservoir will remain full now).

    Or thermostat, my 2008 had had radiator, water pump and tstat done around 145k, they used cheap aftermarket tstat with a substandard seal ring. Found it while doing serpentine belt pulleys & tensioner job replaced with OEM, seals very different. Its passenger side near the radiator top, so...

    Error Code P2447 Air Injection Pump Error...

    You did better than me brother, was more like a 4 hour ordeal today, finally got it installed. Had to move main harness out of the way as well. Passenger side was a massive PIA to access. I did the block off plates too, wasn't terrible, not the worst part of the job for sure. Hoping my...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Finally installed the Hewitt SAIS bypass kit, good lord what a PIA bear of a job. It is as bad as described to access the valves to plug the kit in. Installed the block off plates too which was moderately difficult. Installed all new headlight bulbs, had a low beam die, went with the Hikari...

    Error Code P2447 Air Injection Pump Error...

    Working on it. Purpose of last post was to check Limp Mode = No Start oddity. Seems . . . AFU to me, but, what do I know (apparently not much based on this thread :D)

    Error Code P2447 Air Injection Pump Error...

    The Plot thickens. So been in this every 2 days or so clear the @#$% codes because the pumps didn't fix P2447. When codes are there, we go into limp mode EVERY time - didn't used to do that. Today, a new wrinkle. Mrs takes it to kids' school - it's in limp mode, she doesn't clear codes, I'd...

    Error Code P2447 Air Injection Pump Error...

    This is great intel, thank you, duh I didn't even think to check fuses . . . <insert amateur hour shadetree mechanic jokes here> I've NEVER seen a P0418 - only P2445/7. Well, unless I am totally wrong about which fuses they are - they checked out fine - continuity tests good. Per TIS it...

    Error Code P2447 Air Injection Pump Error...

    Well . . . sh1t. Pumps went in Saturday, fired her up, no codes, drove happily Sunday and Monday - this morning? P2447 back. Limp mode back (@Markuson this is a real mystery why these codes are now putting her in Limp Mode as of Saturday). Cleared codes so we could drive safely, back to the...

    Error Code P2447 Air Injection Pump Error...

    It was a shock - I'm not sure if it was both air pumps, the ABS codes, or what. But, I presume it was limp mode based on the behavior - super slow to max 40 mph with accelerator pinned to the floor - thought it could be hanging a shift at first? Regardless, disconnected battery for the job -...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Replaced SAIS Pumps, finally. I'd had the P2447 for a while - but this morning she went into limp mode, first time ever! Both pumps throwing codes. Replaced both, had them on the shelf for months - limp mode cannot be ignored :hillbilly: More here: Error Code P2447 Air Injection Pump...
