It would just depend on which one you prefer more. Mine came with the original, blue and grey spiral patterned carpet floor mats but they definitely show their age. The rubber/ plastic ones come in handy, if the truck does work. I have seen the other example as well, Imperial, I think is the...

Hey all, After carefully comparing the pictures in the link to what I “have” in my ‘96 TZ Prado (3rd) row. They do look very similar. The pattern and how they cover around the rear seat (2nd row) look almost identical. I did not purchase mine, myself. They came with the vehicle when I got it a...

I misread the fluid spec page when I first serviced the fluids and mistook 90 SAE as “any” 90 weight. Just ended up using Amsoil 75-90, have not heard or felt any grumbles. As with anything, proper interval changes is best practice. 👍 Enjoy

Honestly, that's what I ended up doing. After searching around, I did find a company out West called Red Line Cruisers and they made a modified fan clutch to fit 80-series (Blue), as well as other Toyotas (Green, Pink, etc). I didn't use them, in part, after doing an extensive part number...

This could be very similar to what I experienced recently on a small road trip I had to take for work. The drive was about 100mi each way. On the drive back, it was very hot out. I think the heat index was pushing 100'F and the gauge on the center console was reading 32'C, not sure where it gets...

Jake, I have the same TZ trim as you do, with Rear cool and heat. From what I gathered, the “cool” works in tandem with the engine A/C compressor, under the hood. There is (I believe) a 2nd condenser, the driver side (mine is RHD) in the rear underneath 3rd row seat. You should see a cutout...

So that’s what the “F” stands for 😄 Glad to hear they fit! 👍

I had a similar issue around the time that I got my KZJ95. Just ended up doubling or adding "two" of whatever was used in the 3rd Gen 4Runner. I think it was either a Group 24 or 34, can't recall which. Wouldn't be bad to start there.
