FJ40 that green thing replied to the thread Builds 1996 KZJ78 Family Wagon Build.I'm not a fan of cats for the most part, they are essential around the barnyard though. They do love the Prado. I always find them on the hood in the garage chillin by the vents where the heat from the engine escapes.

FJ40 that green thing replied to the thread Builds 1996 KZJ78 Family Wagon Build.Thanks, I agree! Sort of the goal, I guess you could say. Since we can't get the newer ones here. 2022 models are coming out with gloss black fender flares and wheels now, I like the charcoal/grey combo though.

FJ40 that green thing replied to the thread Builds 1996 KZJ78 Family Wagon Build.My recent fender refurb started with noticing some cracking and disappearance of the fender gaskets on the KZJ78.
