So after running a flush treatment through and and another thorough external flush im only seeing minor improvement in cooling. The radior can sit on 89°c for an hour and i can stop and turn it off and the fan still spins like that. It was sioting on 91 by the time i got to the top of our...

Thanks mate, it does seem as if its not getting hot enough. My other though was that i removed my splash guards as the aftermarket cooked headers cooked them to the point they got brittle. Ill check for cold spots on my break. Maybe time for a new radiator

So of late my fj has been getting hot when slow speed offroading, especially in sand. It doesnt seem to have an issue at speed so naturally this lead me to the fan clutch. I replaced it with a brandnew one yesterday easy enough then took it down the beach and with in 20 minutes engine temps were...

2 new lower superpro double offset arms fitted today, bit of a learning curve fitting them but got their in the end. Get a wheel alignment tomorrow. Hoping the offset bushes allow enough adjustment for the suspension place to push the upper arms out enough to clear the coil overs in thier arc...

So been a bit quiet lately but next thing on the way is some complete superpro lower control arms with offset bushes, went with offset as i need to adjust my upper arms further out to try and eliminate the coil bind issues, the offset bushes should hopefully allow the caster and camber to be...

So i had a cv boot slip off the tripod after changing my diffdrop on the fj to a different style. I am running high stretch, high angle inner boots from a company here in aus. Im just wondering if its possible if i cut the original clamp off and slide it back on, could i simply then fit a worm...

Also here is the new diff drop installed, 2.5 inches of lift but droop is my main goal. Offaet replacement lower arms will be the next front end part to go in

So this job took way longer than expensed and cost way more that i wanted it to (excluding battery and charger) and im not 100% happy with the wiring location but 120amp lithium battery installed in boot

The start battery runs to the dcdc charger which charges the second battery

So im in the middle of installing a lithium battery in the back of the car, after getting everything mounted i ran the wiring from the aux battery to the start batter and when all terminals were done i went to hook up the cables to the start battery. Something arked out on the inline circuit...

Im looking for maximum droop on 3 inch lift, until now the only way i was going to acieve what i wanted with out going full long travel was to fork out for jd fab or rcv axles. Well out of budget. This is the first kit of its kind for fj and prado but we have had them for our hilux models...

So been a bit quiet lately but still here, latest update is just got this going in, in a couple of weeks Proper diff drop kit for the fj finally available https://www.kaon.com.au/front-arm-style-diff-drop-toyota-prado-150-fj-cruiser Will drop the diff a full 23mm unlike the spacer diff drop...

Bit of fun the other day testing the cross flex with the lightweight swaybar and extended links

I drive my car hard, like im not afraid of the loud pedal at all, i also tow a camper trailer dew times a year, i also swe my oil pressure decrease after a half our or so on hot days not the usual decrease from cold to operating temp im talking standard pressure of 35psi to 28psi (after market...

Has anyone hooked up an oil cooler to the 2010+ model with the cartridge? Thinking of just a decent sized heat sink set up with thermostat, dont want to stack a finned cooler in front of the radiator and decrease the cooling capacity of that
