what I heard, the prado's maintainence is quite high. I still remember when I was studying, my lecturer sold his prado due to the gearbox problem worth RM20K

this thread is great.. i might want to buy a hilux and join this group later

mine is second generation 1996 gx version engine 3L 2.8l diesel manual. part is cheap and abundance. is he using the 3.4l v6 petrol 5vz-fe/3rz-fe inline 4 2.7 petrol? petrol version is quite fragile lots of people change it to 3.0l 1kz-te diesel engine.

Anyone taking it offroad? hehe...go play with mud, hehe

I think owning a 4x4 will make your life happier and stronger..

i would like to buy a cheap prado GX or petrol version and convert it to 1kz/2kz engine and throw some nice accessories...it can easily pwned prado TZ i guess...hehe

I really want to know any newbie training course with a factory stock 4X4 and factory stock skill

i do offroad around my house, can go to waterfall haha

real off roader has to be a diesel engine due to their superior / constant low rpm toque / engine built durability and their
ability to swim
btw, the only beast that cross in my mind right now is the 5 litre vitara own by a chinese from sabah.
bosou, do you know him?

this is a nice ride! well done TS!

come come.. go get a truck i can teach how to powerslide / power over..

btw.. i'm waiting siksa 1JZ-GTE hilux engine bay pic.. sudah tunggu lama dahh

ok la if the price is RM365, btw you're driving wrangler/cherokee/grand cherokee?

anyways, just went off road to try out the tyres, damn awesome tyres, super improvement over the lousy sime tyres.





went average on 60-70kmh on dirt track, still solid!

bro, mind telling me how much for the snorkel? any other mod to be done to install it?

there is no 2kz engine only 1kz(prado tz) do you mean the 2kd for toyota hilux vigo?,i want to do that too(lifted & 4x4 acc.) but my father want it streetable for him to use.diesel is cheap and easy to maintain,i even want to turbocharge it he dun wan. i need to look for other.

sorry,now it is still in workshop,i am installing intercooler and manual boost controller. why want too see it,only stock turbo? i feel ashamed to post it already.

heh heh heh.. stock turbo nevermind lah.. i wan see 1ZJ-GTE in a truck.. aekkeke.. oh , is ur hilux being lowered?? manual hilux?

yes lowered & manual. what is the size of your rim? how do you lowered your dmax rear suspension? block,bench press or new leaf spring?

Interesting thread~!! Owners of 4X4 , do you guys go for offroadings? If yes, where?
