Hi all,
My son went to NZ to study for a semester and came home with a little souvenir, a ‘97 1kz right hand drive, kids…
I think he wants to beef it up a little, suspension, bumpers, hopefully nothing too crazy.
Our first problem happened during shipping, mold. No desiccant in the vehicle when it shipped in the container so it’s got some growth inside, nothing a steam cleaner shouldn’t be able to fix.
First little project is hopefully cruise control. It looks like that something we can add but I have searched hard here yet. I’m sure you’ll be hearing from both of us a lot.

Do you mean the bulbs? The unit itself is a different shape
So last night I finally got on with some work on the Little Prado's center console. One of the things I really like to do is put camel leather on various bits of the Land Cruisers. I did a trial run first but the leather I used was too thick because I boiled it to make it very flexible.
The trial run is the darker of the two. I could not get the insert to fit in, but by using hot water I got the flexibility I needed without causing the leather to shrink so much that it got too thick.

I made a new console lid for mine, not as nice looking as that though!

Very nice, and the cupholders are a very nice addition. Won't work for me because the intended driver has a dog whos feet would go right in the holes!
I think I’ll be remaking it again at some point, I do a bit of leather work in a different hobby realm of mine, but never done what you’re doing. I’d love to learn how
I've posted several times on using camel leather. If you do a search for that phrase there may be some information that could find useful.
Those look awesome!
I've had great success with the Autostrada aftermarket cruise control in the prado, two 80s and two 105s. All manual. But I think they make an auto too. Australian made and a quality unit, not like some of the stuff you see on amazon which makes me wince. I would say that I chose to have all the units professionally installed. I need cruise control because I get some leg discomfort when driving for longer than 45 minutes or so, but I also love manual transmissions, and Mr. Toyoda never offered CC on manuals.
Fair warning, the Autostrada unit aint cheap, but to me this is a safety issue.

Hi. My name is Damien. We have a 95 series Prado in Australia. Currently building it a new motor.
Hey everyone. I just won my first Prado via a Japanese auction - a 1996 KZJ95W in TZ trim. It only has 95,000 kilometers on it (~60,000 miles) and comes in the wine color, which I really dig. My wife and I are very excited for it to arrive and put it to work hauling our growing family around the Midwest USA. I am trying to compile a list of maintenance items that need to be done to the vehicle upon arrival, but I may start a dedicated thread for that. Looking forward to learning more about these sweet vehicles.

Hello! I wanted to drop a line to introduce myself. Just imported a KZJ90 MT with 1KZTE. I really excited. I ask if the community can provide feedback on a couple part numbers to sanity check my work. I will need a new AC compressor clutch and want to pick up a t-belt change kit. I found both on Ebay. I believe these are the right part numbers but welcome feedback from the forum.

Hello everyone! Names Brandon.
Just picked up a 1999 Prado 90 LWB 3.4 V6. Imported by Japanese Classics, seems they have done a little maintenance work and a quick and dirty paint job in Audi's Suzuka Grey. Drove it about 4.5 hours home, didn't skip a beat.
The only things I do not like so far are the wheels, atrocious! But replacements are on order. And the headunit is cracked and just wonky so that will be replaced soon enough. It is my wife's daily and our weekend beach cruiser since we are only about 15 minutes from the coast in NC.
