Proud New Owner.

[DAD4]

Hello all, I just became the owner of a Silver 1992 Prado LJ78W. it's an auto with 117k on the ODO. I've been lurking for quite a while so thanks to you all for the tips and what to look for when buying one. It has a brand new cylinder head and the body and frame look new, the clearcoat is peeling off the hood and roof. it also came with a JDM 2" lift with Rancho shocks. Current issues.... speed was a little shaky, then it died, I'm suspecting the cable failed. I tried LED dash lights... not sure yet but I think I'll be ditching them. I'm also working on installing a stereo head unit, the previous owner bypassed the amp and did some electrical work in the dash so my new deck plugged right in using a Scosche harness adaptor. I'm working on installing new rear speakers but need to fabricate mounts (cut up old speaker frame). future plans, Boost, EGT gauges, tweak up the boost a bit and save for an intercooler. That is all for now.
Cheers.

Red car is a JDM 1997 Celica SS3, it's my Sons car fresh off the boat from Japan. it's literally like new with only 60k on it. I'm looking at replacing ATF. Differential and transfer case fluids on the Prado. I'll replace the coolant in the spring with some proper Diesel coolant with the anti cavitation agent in it. I'm a light foot on the throttle so with the 82 degree thermostat the temp gauge has not moved over 1/3 in the normal range. I'm going to finish the speaker install/ speedo cable when the weather warms up.

Cheers.
