Prado 2 doors Venezuela

[Dariusz]

Hi I receive a PM to introduce myself to the forum, here it is.

My name is Dariusz and I live in Caracas - Venezuela, my english is not good, please excuse my errors.

I recently (3 weeks) buy a yellow 90 Series Prado 2 doors, in my country this model is know a s Merú. It is stock now (I only change the lights to HID) but the next week I install the OME Shocks and OME or King Spring Springs. I don´t like a big lift because this is my daily car and the parking in my city are in general very small in height.

The next modifications include tyres 265/75 R16 (probably BFG AT) and maybe a new bumper...

I use the car most to travel with my family (wife and daughter).

I think this is all, I am at your service if somebody needs aid in something…

Very nice, I wish Toyota would have brought these into the US instead of giving us the awkward looking FJcruiser. Is that vehicle made in Venezuela like the 80 series or imported from Japan ?

Is made in Colombia, and send to Venezuela direct by Toyota of Venezuela...

Cool, so Colombia bought the tooling from Toyota and is making these. How much are those trucks in US dollers ? What kind of engine comes in these ?

 

[Dariusz]

Price close to $29000, the engine is the 2.7 4 cyl

Hi all, today is the day my Merú have new suspension

Springs: King Springs
Shocks: OME Nitro

The lift is only 1" (I don't like biggest lift).

With this combination the truck is more soft and the handling look some better... more info after the weekend (I need to make a good track test)

 

[Venom]

It has IFS with coil springs in the front and coil springs in the rear.
