Great, your temps seem right about where they should be. I think I need to need to run an egt gauge cause I am running blind. I've done all maintenance for my cooling system and generally runs fine here in warm Africa, but have seen my water temps climb on two occasions on the factory gauge. I...

So am curious to know your EGTs under load, etc. You still running bone stock pump and everything, yeah? Where did you tap/install the pyro needle? And also curious if your factory temp gauge has any correspondence with your EGT guage. Thanks in advance for the update!!

Agree to BEWARE of them. I also had a really bad/expensive experience with cruiserparts LLC. I bought injectors from them, which are clearly and repeatedly advertised and OEM ones. THEY ARE NOT. Not realizing this at first, I had the injectors installed for 20 minutes and the truck was...

I guess I believe you, but to be honest I don't understand how wobble could come from a settling (lowering) suspension, as this would increase the castor angle and make straight-line tracking more pronounced and wobble (and steering) more difficult. RAISING the suspension, of course, makes...

Could very well be different in Japan or USA, but they will go bad here in Africa. Just really bad roads combined with mud/water ingress through failing seals. Mine were not yet 'bad' but races looked bad, and just the other day I felt a LOT of play in another fella's 70LC. Of course, we are...

Cruiser Outfitters had the kit in stock, I wanted the kit for the seals etc. as well as the bearings. I had also bought the front knuckle/bearing rebuild kit from them last year and did that (messy messy) job. This is the info on their kit (i.e. their number, not toyota part number), Koyo...

How has this done with rattling/noise? I cant find any info if these tables have good rubbers stops and if the clasp stays tight - my truck takes a beating, I don't want any rattling around! Also, did you have to reinforce (or looks like you replaced?) the door panel before mounting, or do the...

Thank you will do

Thank you, super helpful.

The kzj78 rear axle (mine's a 1995, the 3.0 liter diesel japanese import) is semi-floating, not like the 80 series or the heavy duty 70 series. As I understand it, the rear axle on my Prado is like the Hilux pickup (not sure it was ever called the Hilux in the USA). Is there anywhere in the...

Yes, was for the OEM (Not OME!) shocks, as indicated by the toggle switch in the cab.
