I managed to fit the Safari Snorkel that has been cluttering up my garage for the last 4 weeks! not the most pleasant of tasks!

A measly little snorkel is cluttering up your garage?? Man, you'd be terribly disgraced if you saw my garage.......

With a Hilux and a Prado parked in my garage along with every thing else that is "neatly" filed away you will be surprised wot can clutter up my garage.

Getting my heating up problems fixed on Monday

Drove up a hill on Friday only to watch the temperature gauge go up from it normal positon...

Toyota diagnosis; new radiator and fan hub required... $1000... ahem no thanks. Went and got prices for the same from a couple local blokes, $500...

That's better!

I had a big day with a mate and myself swearing and cursing for five hours fitting a Tuff Dog two inch lift kit in the Prado. If you are going to do this your self id recommend getting the pre-assembled front struts. I bought a kit with new top bearing plates and fitted them myself and it was a bitch. Since i have a bar,winch and dual battery up the front it was sagging badly so i went with the heavy duty front springs. These things are killer to try and compress even with four spring compressor tools one the one spring. Any way she is all done now and i really need a Corona right now.
Before lift and dual battery in the front.

With lift kit fitted.

And CV angle.


Cant wait to hit some tracks tomorrow.

Oh and the poor diff breather kit that im to fit, is still siting on my bench.

Billet Race Craft diff breathers are now in. :-? Was very easy other than getting to the front diff.
Dual USB socket in the center console to charge the kids ipods on the fly. Put this where the ashtray once was.
Narva 225 blue spot and spread beam spotties.

All most finished, i think.

I'm a happy boy!!!
I finally finally found the lower ball joints i wanted for my 95 Series. Geez i get excited over little things, but this is great news for me & every other 95 Series owner!
Mine have had play in them for "ahem", over a year........ I know, i know, i should have replaced them sooner but i didn't want to fork the $330.00+ea from Toyota.
I have been searching for an Aus supplier for 555 Ball Joints for 12 Months & finally one of my suppliers has bought some in after seeing repeated failures of the other aftermarket gear available.
These are 100% without peer as an aftermarket replacement. They are the O.E supplier to Toyota & 555 make a heap of O.E gear for a lot of Manufacturers
Their quality is brilliant in all of their parts.
The other cheap and nasties for sale on eBay are nearly all only useful as a paperweight long term.
All the others available from 99.9% of other suppliers will be lucky to last 18mths to 2 years before getting play in them too.
They are 3 times the price of the eBay crap, but half the price of O.E parts.






Now i just need to fit them :-)

Regards, Jason.

Nice find Jason! I learnt the hard way to stay away from cheap replacements. If these are OE suppliers they must be good. Would you like some free testing performed?

Good stuff mate! Did you have to make your own bar and mount for the 50" light bar to be fixed to? I Want to do the same, but can't find any mounting options.
