Just wait and see how it goes first. IIRC, I’m sure the LX sway bars were the same part numbers as the local AU vehicles without KDSS.
Remember the KDSS models don’t have sway bars, they have a sway control system, the bars are thinker as they don’t work on torsion like conventional systems.
I read this in a local 4x4 publication, seems they are confident in the application now. NB. “ULP“ = Unleaded Petrol (gasoline).
Sorry for the poor quality image taken with my iPad.
My main thought it the length of some of the lines, particularly those going to each shock, with them being a dead end with no bleeder. As opposed to say brake calipers with the bleed at the destination.
Obviously any flush is better than none.
Hi,
For anyone curious what the system looks like out of the vehicle, here it is!
While I was ripping it all out, several things went through my head, including how nicely engineered it all was in the vehicle, but also how complex it is, and also how I could not see how one would do a...
Hi,
I received my Donaldson XLC200K filter kit recently, and proceeded to install to my AU LX570 today. As expected it fitted without any unexpected issues.
The inlet matched my Safari snorkel hose, the outlet orientation was suited to the 3UR intake, the MAF direct fitted fine, and the overall...
Update…. I have a unit on it’s way for a trial fit.
There have been some issues on VDJ’s with clearance of the indicator unit (fixed by a 45 degree fitting), and also pre 2015 facelift models with minor rubbing on the bonnet insulator.
I’ll see how it goes in the LX soon.
I had a chat to Donaldson today, they have customers using them in UZJ and URJ202 (4.6L) here in AU. There may be a minor interference issue with the restriction indicator which can be solved with an elbow.
I have been requested to send them some pics of my filter box and engine bay, but I’m...
Thanks for the response, I feared it was the factory filter, known down here to pass dust on the diesel versions. K&N are not ideal for true off-road scenarios IMHO.
Sounds like another reason for me to follow up the new Donaldson setup (advertised for the diesels) to check compatibility with...
Hi, sorry missed this post back in Feb. So what actually happened to the supercharger, what where the symptom(s)?
Was the suggestion that the air filter had let dust through?
I’ve not yet used my URJ enough, let alone when towing, to comment on the trans behaviour to be honest, however there are plenty of local companies offering torque converter lockup kits and remaps for the VDJ200’s (Richard’s, Wholesale Automatics, etc) as trans temps and “loose converters” (heat...
Also PWR make a twin cooler kit, it’s pricey and I’m searching for pics, but the details are here:

Of course if the transmission was designed properly the torque converter would be locked much earlier, eliminating the...
Greetings from AU, there is a deeper pan available here, no experience with it or how much clearance is lost, but adds 3 litres:
Toyota LandCruiser 200, Lexus LX570 and Tundra 6 Speed AB60 Deep Cast Transmission Pan -...
