Hello everyone, I have finished my install of my Dobinson 65 mm rear suspension lift. I know I need to move my LSPV. I test drove it and as it's quite slick around town at the moment with ice I am able to lock up the fronts but not the rears at all unless I really stomp on the pedal. My...

Well, here goes again! After selling my G-Wagon, I wanted something that was better suited to a daily driver, and something that got better than 15mpg on the highway... So, I bought another Prado: This one is a 1991 SX5 with an R150f 5-speed manual. It is absolutely bone stock, with a...

New to the forum, new to Cruisers, new to vehicles that sometimes don't work! Also the genius who bought a Prado project as a daily driver :) What's done? Head gaskets, water pump, muffler, custom exhaust, fresh filters everywhere, miscellaneous belts and bolts. She still needs an injector...

A week or so ago I started getting a squeal until my truck is warmed up. It took a few days to figure it out but it is coming from the free wheeling tensioner that rides on the back side of the belt. I don't see an adjustment. Help?

A friend's college aged kid with a lot of miata wrenching experience needed work during summer break so I had him put a new ct20 turbo on my LJ78 with 2lte. Ever since the turbo swap I get a good 30 seconds of blue smoke on cold startup. Not on warm startup. A couple of other odd symptoms...

Bottom line: The AC clutch will only engage in park or neutral. AC will blow cold at any RPM in park or neutral. Had the wife put it in drive, 2 and L and the clutch disengages. I have checked the hi and low pressure at a shop and both are fine. Pulled off the clutch and everything looks...

After two days of highway driving and one of hard trail running I can say that I'm very pleased with how it's working. I just got a turbo boost controller and installed it, but I them read a forum that suggested just removing the vacuum line from the waste gate altogether. So I did that and ran...

Figured since my other thread is more of an overall build of my truck I would start a thread dedicated to my 1uz swap. I am hoping to get a bit more traffic from the NZ guys or SA guys since as far as I know there is only one other guy in my area that has successfully completed this swap. So...

Hello all - A family member has a Prado in Tanzania with a blown turbo. Not sure what's exactly wrong with it but he brought the guts back home to the US with him hoping to find replacement parts or a rebuild kit. Can anyone recommend good sources for parts and info? Thanks!

Hey all, I thought I would provide an update on Landcruiser sightings in Colombia while on Vacation. So far, I have been to 3 major cities, Bogata, Medellín and Bucarramanga and a trip to the country side to see a big rock. Lots of the older cruisers converted to pickup trucks with tall sides...

Anyone know the biggest tire (height wise) I can get on my stock height 1996 LC II??

Hey y'all. I've been reading on the forum for a while and still know very little, so I wanted to ask for some advice. I stumbled upon a 1991 Land Cruiser Prado with a 4L engine, 130k miles, and turbo diesel (of course). I've heard about how underpowered these cars can be, and how these engines...

I recently saw this modified 95 Prado in Japan. FLEX is a large car dealer that specializes in Land Cruisers and is building a sub-brand "Renoca" for used Cruiser customizations. One of their models will be this 95 Prado that has a 78 grille and overfenders and whatnot. It is not really my...

The rubber is rotted out and broken on my air intake hose. This is the piece that connects to the turbo intake, and has nipples on it for the crankcase breather, etc. It was held together with some electrical tape by the lovely previous owner, and that all came apart obviously. I can't seem to...

First off, I'm not a mechanic. I can do some basic things but I've grown fat and lazy. But I have this Cruiser and I want to keep making it better. So here is the story. A little more than a year ago I decided that it was time to try and find and old Cruiser. I've always loved 40's, I grew up...
