Your IMS shocks are rebuildable, hence why they are more expensive than the nitro gas. 👍 So don't throw them away once they flog out, send them in the the Melbourne branch and get them rebuilt, which isn't overly expensive.

You know, when modifying the suspension on these, you are really messing up the steering geometry. They become unstable at 80 kph without a few other mods. First, by raising the chassis, you change the steering caster angle, making the steering twitchy. You need to install offset caster bushings in the front radius arms. Then, you need to lower the front steering arm so that it is parallel to the front axle. All the sway bar links need to be lengthened. Next, your panhard rods are no longer parallel to the axle. So you have introduced a lot of bump steer front and rear. You need to weld up some brackets to drop the mounting points on the chassis, on both front and rear. Lastly, you will start chewing up cross joints on all the axles.

What a rig I can’t wait for the little build series and see it out on the tracks 🤙🏼 and can we all give brad a massive shout out what a top bloke 🍻

Welcome back Adam! Excited to see the JDM Prado.

hey bro just an fyi before u get a bullbar, you can bolt the vdj front end (76, 79 series etc) onto the prados and 73/74 series. makes it look really cool with the bonnet, lights etc off a 79 and means u can fit a newer (and probably easier to find) bullbar to the car

Awesome been waiting for this 🤙

Cant wait to see this thing on the tracks

Great video good to see one with out big head Sam. Should be more of them. This rig is going to be nice 👍🏼

Nice work guys 👍

Love the build mate! Mine is a bit newer but they are both capable all the same 👍

nice upload cheers jim

Oooooh yer baby this thing is looking smicko already, geting 4 inches in the back its kinda crazy. i have a feeling this is going to be a build like no other and genuinely cant wait haha ps: every inch counts brother lol

Mistake on the Dobinson shocks. Had them in a KZJ78, ridiculously stiff and overdamped. Much prefer the EFS currently running.

Those voids in the radius arms bushes will allow a bit more flex I reckon. I still reckon rubber will be good rather than urethane.

Finally!

hey mate, i have an LJ9 over in fiji, im struggling to find bushings, for the rear support arms, have you done these?

Looks nice should defs put 76 front end on it to confuse ppl

Hi, if just do 2 inch lift, do I need sway bar H extension ?

Hard to find this model with the coil spring in my country.. Mine is leaf spring.

looking good man! Force4 in NZ is the place for Prado mods, the owner Phil has a winch comp Prado with a blown 1UZ in it. flick them an email if you need info they are good guys!

Hey dude your front bumper is on the lean check the front bolts in the middle looks like you are missing 2 of the 4

Can you give the part numbers for the Springs?

Where I can find the coil spring and shock breaker

What size are you rims & tyres? Great video and thanks for sharing. Need to mod my KZJ78 lift, looking for ideas.

I've seen a few ads for these on carsales, yours is the first time I've heard of a manual. Always hated the Toyota 4 speed autos.

do you have the spring codes?

Where can i get these very parts or something similar in Europe

How mch are those shocks please

I have 1994 KZJ78 and I wish I had the stock height springs. I have a 2” lift kit from Dobinsons all around and I’m not feeling it

Pls tell me what those rims are mate! I’ll like and sub!!

Did u buy this interstate? Ive only seen one in S.A and was for sale not too long ago

how much did you pay for the import?

Detalhe of suspension number for front and rear

Fuck ive been waiting for the update

Nice one 👍 it's funny the 90 series is the other way around. Bitch of a job doing the rears but piece of pies doing the fronts

hi

Weird looking patrol

In the world of internet strapped to your wrist it frustrates me you spend so much on products and parts and have no knowledge on why your buying them or why there better other another. LUL
