The colombian made Series 90 comes with a rear axle made by Transejes de Colombia (DANA) and the BIG difference is that the third member contains a non standard DANA diferential, model 207, made for the Hilux (Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela) and the Prado (Colombia, Venezuela). This is a major set...
I have been considering the idea of putting a rear truetrac because I do abot 80% on road and the rest of road, and the Truetrac seems like a good all around option. I've always read that is was not recommende for the front in full time 4wd vehicles. However what Billborric writes, opens the...
Dhula, for what I can see on the TOYOTA EPC the 3rd Gen Runner does have a planetary design like the 90s series. In the US some hard core 4wd stores (Inchworm gear, marlin crawler) sell adapters to use the gear transfer case on the transmissions that come with the planetary transfer case...
Tepui have you checked if the crossmebers underside the hood have separated from the top part ( look under the insulation under the hood). Its something tha can happen from a crash or hard 4 wheelin. If that is the case you have to glue it back together probably in a body shop.
KyleT, besides those two you mention,
the Automatic Transmission on the 90s is an A343F Vs. the A340F on the 4runner. I've read that the A343F is the one used in some Series 80 in the US
The 4runner has the spare tire under it and the 90s have the fuel tank there with the spare on the rear...
Yes, they are almost identical, all the suspension is exactly the same, shocks, springs, control bars, front control arms, skid plates. The differences, if any, are minimal and irrelevant to lift mods. Like the hanger for the spare tire in the 4runner which is not present in the 90's, and maybe...
The Prado VZJ90 / 95 and 3rd gen 4Runner similarities are many, since they are both based on the same plataform.
Differentials are the same except that the 90's most common ratio is 4.30 (which is very uncommon in the 4runner) in the V6 an 4.56 in the 4 Cyl . Note: 90's made in Colombia have...
