Matti I don't know. I went to photobucket to check and my account is no longer there so I'm really unsure of what has happened. I still have all the pics on my PC (I only put them on PB so that I could post them) so if you want the pics and story for doing the mod yourself, I can put them in...

Seams to be a fair few occurences, especially on LCOOL. Mines done 105 kms with no probs so far. (touch wood) Does it seam to happen in other countries as well, more so the hotter climates. What about the cooler ones????? Curious

Where is the gas tank on the FJ???? (don't know I'm a Prado guy) If it is under the belly (I believe it is) then perhaps look at the tank from a 2 door Prado which is under the rear behind the axle as it looks like they have a short bum (rear axle to rear of car) like the FJ. The 4 door Prado...

Hi all, If you've got pics or ideas or websites of some decent underbody protection for a Prado can you please put em up. I need to replace the standard stuff (and have for a while but funds are limited ATM) due to damage and carnage I've looked all over the net to get ideas but welcome...

have all wheels balanced off the car check the suspension links at the back end, especially the bushes. make sure everything is tight check the universal joints in the front to rear (north south)prop shafts check engine mounts and gearbox mounts check wheel bearing end float at both ends chekc...

Yep found it and removed it (stored it in the same box with all my other "not used" Prado stuff) As D.T. said, I found it in behind the passenger side kick panel (near where his/her left foot would be if sitting in the passenger seat) No need to take the glove box out Didn't take any pics as...

That front bar looks very neat. Do you have any other pics or info that you'd be willing to share.

I have removed the front sway bar before. As said the on road handleing was worse. When I had the stiffer springs fitted (OME 882 I think) the handleing was OK (kinda). Articulation improved by about 40 mm I think (full stuff to full stretch) when compared to when the sway bar was on...

Thanks D.T. I'll look into it after the long weekend and if I find it all I'll post a few pics as someone may want to do the same

I have remote central locking on my Prado. The one where you have a key fob that you press a button on and the doors unlock. I never use the remote part, in fact I don't even carry the fob. I want to disable the remote side of the central locking, but still be able to turn the key in the...

I have 265/75R16 Yokohama all terrains on mine and find them no probs at all. I spose you could fit steering dampers to the front end, but seeing as it is R&P ---> how much money you have would be the limiting factor. I guess if you got the right size (length) damper then you might be...

I don't mind at all D.T. I'm glad that ppl are able to get ideas from things that I do, cause I certainly get ideas form other ppl. Had a look at the A4WDM site and it looks real good. One extra thing I have done since is to seal up every rivit and hole in the air cleaner box...

Have you tried fitting both sensors and driving till the problem occurs. The one set up to read to the oscilloscope (which you'll need in the car when your driving of course) may give you more info. A couple of other guesses. Is the trigger piece to short or too long perhaps. Is...

Sounds the goods D.T. Do you think the extra weight will effect the mounting and perhaps any viration. Not sure on painting the inside of the tube. Understand your thinking (ie to stop rust xetra) but will it cause more probs like paint flaking off over time. I can't really comment on...

Nice, I have to say I'm very jealous of the mud since we are n the grips of a drought in Oz
