Gday all, Have just discovered this great site and am overwhelmed by all the info now at my fingertips:-D
I have owned a variety of fourbies, but the prado '97 RV6 has been the best, are they not great cars!
Had mine now for 9 years and it has taken me and the family ( wife and 4 kids) everywhere.
Just clocked 360k and with a recon motor fitted 40k ago Im hoping to get to the magical 500k. I haven't done any hardcore mods, most of the offroad work is mud or on the beach.
I have just had the original front suspension replaced last week with a 2inch lift heavy duty, rear was done about 80k ago in Darwin with same.
Couldn't afford to do it all at the same time. I am looking at getting 265/75/16 in tyres next week. Just had the gas tank tested and needed a new one ( to much rust from all the beach work). Now the new tank has been fitted, the rear has sagged a little.
Question 1 is, I know I can get a front suspension spacer, can I get one for the rear? I have been looking on this great site but couldn't find a reference to it. Any help?
Question 2, How long can I expect to get out of the original cv shafts now they are on greater angle? I don't do any hard core offroad, mostly sand.
Question 3, How do I upload a picture to my personal profile?
Thanks in advance, what a great website:-D
