Great video. Always done most of this myself because experience tells me that dealers just can't be trusted.

Always great skill to know! Thanks for the feedback John, really appreciate it!

The most important part of this video is that you wore a “WA Prado 4x4” shirt… you have stayed true to your routes! 😏 Thanks for the tips, will give it a go on my cruiser.

@offroadcrusader 5 ай бұрын

That shirt has seen more than its fair share of oil, grease, mud and sweat, trust me :P Cheers mate!

This is great work. I learnt a lot from this as I've always used the dealer. Cost $950 for the 200,000km major at Toyota

Perfect! Glad you found it useful mate!

Couldn’t you leave the fuel filter housing in place, removing the filter and replace then removing on If there’s too much gunk in then clean properly

@offroadcrusader 23 күн бұрын

Yeah for sure, you definitely could. It's only 2x bolts to remove it completely though and for the video it's a lot easier filming on a workbench.

@@offroadcrusader …. Ah yes got you, can’t see FA and a very limited instruction video too. What’s your thought on catch cans ?

@zoezoe610 5 ай бұрын

I ended up cutting a hatch where the filter is and a bit of plate back over it with tech screws. Heaps better.

Great stuff mate, have you done a transmission fluid change?

@offroadcrusader Ай бұрын

Hey mate, no not yet. The car has only done 127,000kms so it's not a high priority, but I do want to get it done mostly for piece of mind and to see what improvement it offers. I will definitely film it and upload it when I do though. Cheers!

How long did it take you to complete all the task? Thanks, great very helpful video!

@offroadcrusader 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! I would allow 2-3 hours for the job now, but give yourself half a day if you haven't done it before.

yea mate you forgot to grease the drive shaft unis

Any tips on how to protect LC electrical when doing river crossing? 2:19

@offroadcrusader 2 ай бұрын

Using a water repellant spray or non-polar substance such as CRC or WD-40 over important electrical connections really helps. Dielectric grease in the plugs themselves helps a lot too, so water can't get in. Best thing is to keep the engine running to keep warm air circulating under the bonnet, which will help dry things out sooner and move water out of crevices.

Always open the filler hole first. What happens if that does not open or brakes😅

Very true!

Amazing, thanks for the tips! btw IMO you have missed two things: chassis lubrication and cabin filter. Im sure you're aware of it but for the audience matters it is good to mention.

@offroadcrusader 5 ай бұрын

Thanks! Chassis lube, do you mean greasing the uni joints? Cabin filter is important but wasn't required this time. I'll do a video about it later this year.

@m1ci 5 ай бұрын

@@offroadcrusader yup, I meant propeller shafts (Spider+Slide yoke). Easy job but at the same time important. Anyways, thanks for the great content!

@CaptainRedBeardarrr 5 ай бұрын

Best thing is to sell it. No transmission oil change? The most overlooked thing.

@offroadcrusader 5 ай бұрын

Transmission oil change deserves a video all on its own, as the process on these cars requires more knowhow than I would like to squeeze into this video. It's definitely on the list of videos to make this year, so keep an eye out!

Because my cruiser is essentially a tractor (for my caravan) I have the trans fluids changed every 40K km. 250K+ km already and Transmission as good as new.
