Hi, Im changing out an ugly switch connected to my spotlights, replacing it with an OEM style push switch but I have one question regarding the wiring. The wiring coming from the new OEM style switch is much thinner than the wiring in the harness. Is this safe? I don’t want to burn down my car...

Hi all, I have recently bought a 2003 Toyota Hilux 3.4L V6 VZN167R and I have been looking into buying a stainless steel snorkel for my car but I cannot seem to find one for the petrol V6 version anywhere, only for the diesels on the left-hand side (I have attached an image of a stainless steel...

Hey boys, I’ve got a 79 series single cab ute (HZJ79R), looking to upgrade the speakers because the stock standard ones are shocking. Wondering if any of you boys have done this and if you have any recommendations on what to get at a reasonable price and if it was a massive stuff around. I would...

There's some sorta leak found at the engine head, its at a hose that connects to the engine head, from the intake, and the substance leaking seems to look like oil, i don't know what the exact issue is, and why there's oil leak on something related to the intake, doesn't make sense to me. This...

We did a walkthrough video last week. Dave has slowly added mods to his N80 to the point where he is ALMOST (who is he kidding) finished with it. It suits his touring needs nicely. He was also nice enough to share roughly how much the mods have cost him.

Hey, this is my first post on the forum. I'm a 19 and am looking at buying my first 4wd for weekend adventures. I have found a petrol 80 series with 179,000km for $13,000.

I've got a 2005 1HD79R Toyota Landcruiser with the FTE motor. Its never had air conditioning fitted so I'm trying to sort it out. Seems no one can really help me find the right parts to fit. Toyota have said the kits have been discontinued and no aftermarket place I've spoken to can tell me for...

G'day again after a long search process running through plenty of options, finally decided on and bought an FJ cruiser today! Can't wait to get out and about, 4x4 earth has gone a long way in helping me sort this out and told me where to look, couldn't have been any more useful! Might see some...

G'day guys, It's getting close to me getting my P plates (less than 2 months) and I'm hoping to have something before then. My budget is up to $7k for a car and then a few grand more for mods. I've seen a fair few 60 series' with the 2F carby in them and was wondering what were the thoughts on...

Hey guys, I have just purchased a brand new 79 series dual cab and trying to put this conversation to bed, so I thought I would ask the professionals on here. Once I take delivery in a few weeks i’m lifting the car and running 35s on her. I know my speedo will be out BUT my question is will my...

Hi all, sorry for so many posts, now that it's coming closer to vehicle decision time I can't stop looking in every direction! Some may remember previous posts discussing 120/150 prados, however I'm not as sold on the look of the 120 as I once was, and I'm struggling to find a 150 in my price...

Just wondering what people's opinions are, I would like a cruiser as a first rig, preferably turbo diesel and manual, but with my budget (under $10k in South Australia), I can't seem to find any. Do see quite a few petty ones, but not many are manuals, mostly autos. Just wondering what peoples...

Hi all, Thanks to help from previous posts I've settled on the GJR120R (petrol 120 prado) with the 5sp auto, keen on (in the next few months) getting car hunting. Between now and then I'm keen on getting opinion on aftermarket kit that I'll be putting on, all listed below Bullbar Arb Deluxe -...

Hi earth, after reconsidering for a few months now I'm looking at picking something up in the next 12 months (around 20-25k), all signs so far have pointed to 120 prados for me (resale, personal preference, aftermarket options) and I'm looking for someone to either tell me I'm looking in the...

Hi all, I'm getting a 2nd gen 4Runner off a mate for a first rig, and am searching around for add-ons to put on it so I can take it offroad. Struggling to find things like bullbars and snorkels specifically for the 2nd gen 4Runner is Australia so I was wondering if add-ons for the Ln106 Hilux...

Recently installed a Domin8r X winch into my 80 series on a winch cradle I fab'd up to sit behind my ARB Non-Winch bar. As the cradle bolts to the bottom of the chassis the winch sits quite low compared to the front of the bar so I have flipped the winch around so it pulls from the top, but...
