ASFIR has some great products for 90 series Prado's. I just received my full skid plates from them.

Pic shows a CDL (as indicated by the HL and LL on the shift lever), but no idea on the rear.

Well - not looking so good for Cruise Moab. I was putting out a lot of oil smoke and decided to pull the turbo for an inspection/rebuild. A new turbo is ordered, but I doubt it will be here by Friday. I also checked compression and #2 is a bit low - 310 PSI. I will do a leak-down test this...

You can use a jumper and read the codes from the dash too. Explained on 6-8 in the Haynes Prado manual with a list of codes.

I am running 16" Methods in 0 offset 4.5" backspacing. 255/85/16 KM's.

Manual hubs. So not AWD like the JDM? Interesting.

Here are pics of the sliders.

A local builder -Nick at Adventure Fab. He did the bumpers on my firetruck. Mine are weld-on. If you are interested, I believe he saves all the measurements and could set you up with a pair. I will post a few pics shortly.

Replaced the blown radiator and took it for a test drive. Found that the heater core was blocked (no heat) - flushed it as soon as I got home. Otherwise a successful repair. Lockers and regearing happening in a few weeks!!!

It's what Yakima recommends for permanent track installs. I haven't seen it done yet, but I'm willing to try it. I feel pretty confident that any curvature to that section of the roof is minimal enough for the feet to sit securely. I've installed them on my fiberglass canopy and a pop-up tent...
