- Toyota Prado 90 Series Build | The Road So Far....
Here is a rough walkaround/explanation of all the modifications that have been done to my VZJ95
Prado so far.
I don't go into a lot of detail, but if you'd like me to expand on certain sections of my build, or want to know where to buy some of the items, let me know in the comments and I can do a follow-up video for you all.

VZJ95 owner myself, 2000 GXL auto model. Love it! Just started doing the odd 4WD stuff and go camping in it.
Nice! Any modifications yet?
I'm hoping to film another video today on my most recent mods since the last video.
@@OzTrax4X4 Not much, tranny cooler added with radiator cooler bypassed. Has an alloy bullbar but would like to get a winch one day. Have the same GME UHF as you. Also want to do a dual battery setup as this will be great for camping. Ours has done 382,000km. Subbed, your vids are great, thank you.
@@pradolover I'll have a few more vids coming in relation to maintenance/upgrades, so thanks for subscribing, I think you'll be interested in those videos for sure.
I will say though, keep the radiator cooling the trans as well, as you're now effectively reducing your cooling efficiency by bypassing it.
Run the external cooler in line with the radiator. 🤙
Just picked up our 2000 90s prado! Loving the mods, lots of inspiration ❤
Thanks guys. Unfortunately she is no longer, but I hope the videos help with your build. 👌
If you have any questions, feel free to ask away on the videos. 🙂
@@OzTrax4X4 Ahh no way! What happened :O
Appreciate all your content!
Check out the video with the title Checking out Fry's Hut and the Demise of the 90 series and the couple of videos after that.
There will be more 90 series content coming though, so stick around. 🤠👌
She looks like a beast mate. Love that front bar not over done not under done just perfectly nice and neat🤙🍻
She was a good bus. Unfortunately no longer. 😕
You can see what happened if you check out my Fry's Hut video and the one after.
@OzTrax4X4 jeez that a shame I just discovered the diy play list appreciate you doing this will be super handy and I'll definitely check it out 😱
@@Dirtdogsadventures always have something technical I'm posting up.
12 volt system is worth a look if you don't have one 🤠👌
Thanks - great video, info packed. I have a 2001, in very good condition, it was thinking I should sell as just getting a bit long in the tooth. Your info gives me confidence to keep it and I’m going to do some of your upgrading - still a capable 4WD without having to spend another $90k. Looking forward to your other videos and would be quite interested to see one on the most effective way to use its 4WD and any tips on how it will stand up to some off-roading at this vehicles age. Thanks again. Best Prado video Ive seen.
Thanks mate, that means a hell of a lot.
I'm actually filming an update of that update tomorrow, with a lot more mods and suspension upgrades.
@@OzTrax4X4 keep those videos rolling!
@@marcomac8824 If you want to see how my Prado goes off-road, check out the Central Australia Tour series if you haven't gotten around to it yet.
That will give you some idea. 🤠
@@OzTrax4X4 thanks. Will do.
Just bought 2000 Prado GXL, 1 owner, never off road, 217,000km. Keen to get it modified like this!
Sounds like a good plan. 🤙
Very nice that car,
It was, but it's not longer around unfortunately 😔
Tx for the video. Ive got the 2000 model kzte also planning to do some upgrades for camping and overlanding
No problem!
Interested to know what you'll be doing.
Hey bud, love your 90, I have one also, petrol, same colour as well hahaha. Keen to know who did the bash plate, I really like the look of it. Im in WA. Also the kings flat roof rack fitted ok, no worries. They suggested to me the 3/4 length one, but if the long one works, that's great. Doing a build on mine atm, so will be following your channel closely.
Onya mate
Hey bud
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out, means a lot.
Still got a few more things to go with it, so will update with new videos as I go.
The person who made the plates is actually located in WA.
If you have Facebook, look up Nik Rokich and tell him I sent ya!
Full length rack fits fine, no worries there at all.
@@OzTrax4X4 onya bud cheers
My dream off-road Prado
Unfortunately she no longer exists, but I hope she becomes an inspiration around the world for the 90 series Prado owners and their builds of what can be a sensible and achievable off-road vehicle.
@@OzTrax4X4 yup, we hope so.😥
I think I may need to do a video of what happened next week and tell the story.
Wow clock with the sub tank gauge in it! We don't see that in the UK. All our 90's come with dual batteries as standard.
Interested in how they did the dual battery system from the factory.
Easy for the diesel guys here, not so much for us V6 owners.
Sub-tank gauge is a dime a dozen here and super easy to get a hold of if you want one. 😉
Great video. Would have liked to hear a bit more about how the motor has served you, consumption, maintenance you have had to do etc.
I have a few more mods coming, but will definitely be doing more on that side of things once it is done.
Unfortunately, I really hadn't done a big trip until my Central Australia Tour in October last year, so not a whole lot to really report on that side of things at that point in time.
Keep an eye out, I'll cover that in the next few months.
@@OzTrax4X4 thanks I look forward to hearing what more you have to say on that side of things. I get the impression most people prefer diesel rigs. However, I feel there is much to be said about petrol off road vehicles too!
I got same 90 as yours but stocks so gonna upgrade like yours
Awesome. Look forward to hearing about it. 🤙
I HAVE A 3 DOORS PRADO RZ 96 and its a machine i love prado 90 series
Ahhh nice. The 4 cylinder version?
We never got the three door here in Australia. 🤙
Very capable off-road.
I got a v6 3400 and yeah the 3 Doors are quite rare in different countries and if you ever find one its about twice the price of a 5 doors
Should I buy a good conditioned prado 2006 ( this one shape )
These were sold until 2002 here.
Maybe they were sold later overseas, I'm not sure.
If you can get a low km one, go for it. 🤙
Olá meu amigo está sestema é bom gostei como posso remodelar meu prado
O que você quer dizer exatamente?
Am driving a similar car but 3Rz 2.7 petrol engine and am looking for a roof rack
A couple of suggestions may be the Rhino Pioneer Rack and Ironman Alloy Roof Racks.
Mine is steel and quite heavy. Eventually I will change it to an alloy rack to reduce some weight.
Hey mate, mint setup on your 90. Just wondering how hard it is to modify the titan drawers to fit the back of 90s? Interested in throwing some in the back of mine.
Hey bud
All you need is a set of 900mm long Titan drawers, and a 120 series Prado wing kit.
You'll need to modify the wings to fit the rear trim.
You'll also need to trim back the edges of the wheel arch trims between the wheel arches so the drawers fit.
Then remove all latches and tie down points, replace the bolts for any open holes so you don't fill up with water if you intended on doing any water crossings and make sure to realign the supports in the bottom of the drawers so they match the bolt holes you're going to use.
Takes a few hours, make sure you have someone to help you pull the drawer frame in and out as it's quite cumbersome.
Hope that helps 🤙
Hey mate keen on one of those bash plates
Hey bud
You'll need to find Nik Rokich on Facebook and shoot him a PM.
Hey mate, I know this video has been uploaded a number of months ago but I was just wondering your thoughts on the auto/ manual & petrol/diesel debate for the prado 90s I’m in the market for one now and trying to make a decision. Awesome rig BTW
Thanks mate. She does alright for an old girl.
Auto over manual. More control when tackling the technical stuff.
Petrol vs Diesel - tough one.
I've driven both in an auto, and petrol by far has a heap more power.
Fuel usage isn't all that different when you work out the cost of petrol vs diesel per litre.
Either way at some point it may be wise to fit a long range main tank if you're intending to do a lot of long distance remote touring.
u car look good mick...
Thanks mate :)
@@OzTrax4X4 u know who i am right ? haha
@@zhuowu I know exactly who you are, mr 120 series :P
Nice car bro, I have the same one and I'm looking for the bash plate at least the 3er piece or the hole set and the rockslider
Thanks 👍
Both the bash plate set and sliders were custom made here in Australia.
Hi José ?/ please. I.need that car Toyata Prado'90
Great video, nice Prado!
I have the same model 2000 and considering putting new suspension and wheels on it!
Would you give us approx cost of whole set up (lift kit installation and wheels), please?!
I will appreciate it! cheers
maybe see you soon on SA tracks!!
Hi there!
Good to see another South Australian 🙂
The most lift you'd want to go for is a 2 inch lift otherwise you put too much stress on your CV joints due to the angle they end up on.
You have a couple of options depending what you want to get out of your suspension.
I run Bilstein shocks coupled with 2 inch lifted King Springs.
My best advice would be is to contact 4WD Direct (Google them and chat to Paul), he will email you out a form that you'll need to fill in all the details about your vehicle for and give you some options for lift.
Wheels, if you decide to go steel wheels, the dimensions I would recommend are a 16 x 8 -0 offset or 16 x 8 -12 offset at the maximum.
Tyre size of a 265/75/16.
Hope that helps 😊
Regarding pricing:
Approx $1400 for a complete lift kit
$500 for wheel rims
Allow $1200-$1300 per set of tyres.
Fitting of suspension you'll have to find out.
I'd actually check out Greg's Wheel Alignment Solutions in Regency Park for maybe the suspension instalation/tyre fitment/alignment cost as that can all be done at the one place.
Hey mate, are you able to give me the details of who made that bashplate? Cheers
Hey Andrew
If you have Facebook or Instagram, message me there and I'll send you the contact details.
Where I can buy that front ? Thanks !!
That was an Ironman Commercial Deluxe front bar.
Ironman sell them, but that all depends if they can get them to wherever you are.
Are the parts hard to get anyone???
Interior ,exterior,engine,electrics etc???
Pretty easy to get a hold of parts here as there are still a heap of them on the road or I import genuine parts from Japan for myself and for people who need them.
What makes it a 90 and not a 95, the year or the wheel base?
Good question and one I'm happy to answer. 🙂
On the vehicle ID plate, it states 90 series, so all Prados from 1996-2002 are a 90 series.
If you then look at the model variants, the VZJ90 is the 3 door version (short wheel base) while the VZJ/KZJ95 is the 5 door version (long wheel base).
Im not sure if the 3 door came out in diesel as we never got them here.
I need some advice, my mother used to drive one of these but now she just has it parked in a garage, it's not in bad condition but it needs a new torque converter and a transmission overhaul.
Should I take it from her repair it and use it as my first vehicle?
Hey mate
Transmissions are pretty cheap secondhand, could probably get a torque converter from the same motor the trans comes from, so I don't see why not.
Be a great first 4WD.
My 90 series is also my first 4WD. 👍
@@OzTrax4X4 I didn't expect you to see this so quick but are you saying instead of getting a transmission overhaul I should just get one secondhand?
It's not just my first 4WD it's my first vehicle overall to own.
I try to reply to everyone when I see it.
Depends if you're on a budget or not.
A low km transmission should be fine if it's been regularly serviced, otherwise go all out, overhaul it, and upgrade the valve body to run a torque converter lockup for downhill descent control with the auto seeing as it will already be out of the vehicle, that's not such a bad idea.
@@OzTrax4X4 I really appreciate the advice
@@asaph5140 No worries mate. Happy to answer any questions you may have. 🙂
Not sure if you’ll see this but I’m getting a 97 Prado. And I’m curious what arb bumper you got on yours? All of them are for the 60, 70, 80, then jumps to 100 series for arb bumpers on their site.
Hi Taylor
That's not an ARB bumper. It's an Ironman Commercial Deluxe.
Not sure if they are still making them for the 90 series.
My replacement vehicle from the accident, which is the 80 series has an ARB bar on it. 👌
Whats the fuel average per liter
Fully loaded on standard tyres, I see 12-14L per 100kms.
Mine is a V6 though, not diesel.
Hey mate, nice rig... I see in one of the comments you recommend 16x8 at 0 or -12 offset but yours are -22. Any issues with those in terms of clearance or rubbing or any other reason for not going with a -19 or -22? Cheers
Hey Jamie
-22 have the slightest bit of poke past the flares.
Trying a 285/75/16 on the other day, I was rubbing across the back of the wheel arch around the height of the mudflap (can find that video clip on Instagram), but that may just be an alignment issue.
I need to replace the lower control arms to completely overhaul the front end and rectify the seized caster bolt I have on the right hand rear side. When I do that, I will take it to a mate who is going to give it a crack and see if we can pull the caster forward some more and clear it.
Of course, a 16x8 with either a 0 or -13 offset wont rub nearly as much as what im trying to achieve here.
I've done a few more mods since this video so will have to push out an update while I'm out on the road doing a two week remote trip from the 20th of September and release that one as soon as I get back.
Do you have a video that explain how to use 4wd system.
Hey there.
What would you like to see a video on exactly? Recovery equipment? Winching techniques?
OzTrax 4X4 how to change from H to L
@@abdallaadle3711 Depends on the vehicle to how you engage 4L and 4H.
I know with mine being automatic, you have to put it into Neutral first, select your range, then reverse back a little then drive forward to engage the transfer case.
Other vehicles will be push button 4WD, or on a dial.
I could show how I engage 4WD in a future video though if you'd like to see that.
Hey mate what’s your things to look for when buying a 90 series? Such as Kms. I’m purchasing for my family to enjoy casual off road and beach stuff
Hey bud
Check for lower ball joint wear, tie rod end wear, a brown top tank on the radiator, leaking rocker cover gaskets, worn steering rack bushes, worn lower control arm bushes and worn rear control arm bushes.
@@OzTrax4X4 thanks for the advice mate legend.
No worries bud. Glad I can help.
Forgot to mention, km's for a V6, I'd look at around 280-320km and diesels well, that just depends how well they've been looked after, so check for service history.
@@OzTrax4X4 ah sweet been looking around that mark pretty good pricing
Are you running all terrains? Or muddies?
I'm currently on Toyo Open Country AT2 All Terrains, but watch this space. 🤙
Hey mate. Where did you get the digital console clock ?
Cheers
Do you mean the sub tank/clock gauge?
That's how they were released here.
If you're wanting to get hold of one I could probably source one pretty easily for you.
Head over to Facebook and follow my page, I'll add you into the community.
Cheers
Mick
Just got one of these how did you water proof the engine
The only waterproofing I've done is the Safari Snorkel so it doesnt end up drowning itself, then again, its not very often I do a river crossing where the water is up over the bonnet.
If you have good fitting spark plug leads, you should generally be alright.
OzTrax 4X4 thanks a lot mate cheers from New Zealand
@@jeffforty5663 no worries Jeff. Glad I could answer your question :)
If you have any more, feel free to ask away.
Hey mate, what drawer system did you get ? Is it just the generic one and you cut the wings to fit? Or did you ask kings for a model to fit the 90 series?
Hey bud
They are just the King's Titan drawers, 900mm long and a set of 120 series Prado wings trimmed down to follow the contours of the rear trim.
OzTrax 4X4 beauty thanks mate
OzTrax 4X4 also what did you cut the wings down with?
Hi there thanks for the walk around, I have an '02 VX and looking to upgrade the (tired!) stock suspension to the Bilstein/Kings or Bilstein/Dobinsons. With your setup did you get the BE5 2450M (front) and what about the rear the (BE5 2451M) or (B46 1004LT). How do you find the ride quality and height after compared to factory with the Kings springs? Did you go for a diff drop kit in the front for the lift? Cheers.
Hey bud
Thanks for checking out that video.🤙
A lot has changed since I filmed that one and will be filming an update between Christmas and New Year's, so keep an eye out for that one.
I have since upgraded the suspension, and that will be revealed in the next video, but if you're planning on driving corrugations, I'm going to say don't purchase the Bilsteins as mine blew after a trip across the Simpson Desert and a lot of corrugated roads.
I'm also going to advise against King Springs as they don't stay captive in the rear under flex.
I'm not running a diff drop in the front as it's not required for a 2 inch lift either.
I'm going to reveal all very soon though. 😉
Nice bro! Just got me a 90 series for a 90's boy aha. I really like ur bullbar, I've got the aloy one atm, how much did urs cost all up?
Hey mate!
I happened to get this at trade price, but if you're handy on the tools, you should be able to pick one up for around the $1800 mark.
Where abouts is your water tank stored and what kind do you have?
I have a two Ironman 20L Jerry cans joined together and stored on the right hand side of the drawer system.
There is a picture up on my Instagram page which shows it. 👍
hey mate what size titan draws did you get for the Prado and did you make custom wings for it?
Hi Oscar
They are the 900mm Titan drawers with modified 120 Prado wings.
@@OzTrax4X4 thanks so much
No worries mate, glad I could help :)
@@OzTrax4X4 how did you get them to fit so well. The plastic wheel well things on mine are too narrow
You'll need to cut the wheel arch trims back. Take off that lower lip on both sides and you'll have clearance, no worries.
Nice rig mate is the turbo diesel version of this any good
Hey bud
Yeah the diesel version is good, just comes down to what you can afford at the time really.
Though the diesel is a lot slower, it's just as reliable.
Hi! Great video 😉 nice car..can I ask you where I can buy this dashboard cover? :) Greetings from Slovakia 😉
Hi there Kristián!
Is your 90 series left hand drive or right hand drive?
If it's right hand drive, send me a message on my Facebook page and I will see if I can find a business that will ship internationally for you. 🤙
@@OzTrax4X4My is left hand drive,😉 o
Mmm not something I can source here.
You may have to try your luck with AliExpress as that's the only place that I can see who can do them for the J90.
Hello I want to know the color code of your car.
Hi there
I unfortunately can't tell you as it no longer exists.
This is why:
th-cam.com/video/QZdajYlxpn0/w-d-xo.html
Where did you get those front recovery points? Are they for an 80 series?
Hey bud
These are for a 90 series Prado, 80 series are a different design.
Added a link in the description for anyone wanting to purchase a pair. 🤙
Thanks mate for the video. How is the fuel economy, how many litre of petrol per 100km? I am trying to decide the 90s over the later 4.0L V6, not sure about the difference in terms of reliability and fuel economy. Cheers.
Hey Max
With the lack of oxygen sensors on the 3.4 V6, I would expect the 4.0 V6 to perform with better fuel economy.
Then you have to ask yourself if you like the look of the 120 series Prado.
I drove a diesel one last weekend for quite a few hours and it performed well but was super slow.
Fuel economy I get around 12L/100 when out on a trip.
@@OzTrax4X4 thanks mate.
Why do all the offroad guys with Prados have the petrol versions?
That's an easy one. Comes down to cost. The diesels are still pretty expensive, parts are easy to come by too. 🤙
@@OzTrax4X4 Fair enough, and they are just as good, just different to drive.
@@JimTom. Just needs a litle more right foot ;)
Hey mate how much did the custom bash plates cost?
They were around the $500 mark for the full set of three.
How was this a review? Didn't mention once what you like and don't like about the car. Just showing off everything you've done to it.
Great question and one that I'm happy to answer.
This is in my reviews section as it was reviewing the mods I had performed from standard up until that point of the build.
This is why you'll find the two years later video in the same section, showing the modifications made since this video. (have since changed the title so there is no more confusion. 🤦)
Unfortunately I can't provide you with a what I like and don't like video as she no longer exists due to the incompetence of another driver over in Victoria.
You can find that sequence of events starting from The Fry's Hut & Demise of The Nightmare 90 Series video.
I will however, be able to provide a comparison video between the 90 and my new rig in the coming months once I am properly functional again after the accident.
Hopefully that answers your question, with a little bit more information thrown in for you to check out :)
I am going to buy the 3.0 Diesel, is it worth the money? The 3.4 petrol ones are quite expensive here, so I thought the diesel would be better, power-wise the cars are kinda the same. The petrol has like 30 more hp but the diesel has a bit more torque (is the less hp going to be really bad?). Please reply with what you think cause ngl I'm a bit scared about purchasing this!
Hey mate.
Mine is unfortunately no longer as of Monday this week, there will be a video coming eventually once I have use of my arm/shoulder again, but it depends what you're doing.
The 1KZ is expensive here while the 5VZ is cheaper.
Both are great, just require different driving styles.
@@OzTrax4X4 Thanks for the reply mate, I have also found a 3.4L 5VZ for the same listed price as the 3.0D 1KZ. Which one to pick? Both the cars are in mint condition and have around 180k km on the clock. Now the issue is that I want to buy the petrol , but the owner says that the car was originally a 3.0D but he converted it into a petrol (replaced all the engine and stuff, don't know if i can trust that :P). And the other car has all the genuine stuff in it, the owner did some mods to it, the safe type of mods. I'm really sorry if i'm troubling you but mate, I seriously have to purchase one of them. As usual thanks for the help and please reply if you can!
Can you get me the VIN of the supposedly swapped vehicle?
I'll need the Japanese VIN, so KZJ95-xxxxx.
Either message that to me on Facebook or via Instagram and I'll have a look into it for you.
@@OzTrax4X4 the car's sitting quite far from here, i'll check it out again tomorrow if i have the time.
Get the owner to take a picture of it and send it through. 🤙
G'day nice 90 mate, doin up exact same model.atm. what size are those titan draws as i plan on fitting same way
Hey mate
They are the 900mm long Titan Drawers from 4WD Supacentre.
The wings are modified Prado 120 ones.
When you fit the drawers, you'll need to cut back the plastic trim between the rear wheel arches.
Make sure to remove all tie down points and latching points for the third row seats and put the bolts back in the spots you take them out of, otherwise you'll take on water if you plan on doing any water crossings.
@@OzTrax4X4 Champion, thanks mate👍
No worries! Glad I could help out 🤙
Sorry to jump in, I used 18mm ply to make a false floor to lift it above the wheel arch trim as I want keen on cutting into it. I have an 02 GXL
Hey mate looking at getting a rear lokker what price did you pay if you don’t mind me asking?
Hey bud
I currently don't have any lockers installed, just the factory LSD which is pretty worn out.
Plans for the future will probably include a Harrop E-Locker for the rear end.
No plans for a front locker at this stage, seeing as it's IFS and can destroy CV shafts pretty easily.
Thanks
@@barneydonaghy5561 No probs mate.
Reason I say E-lockers over Air-Lockers is that there is a lot more to setup for an air locker.
E-Locker is just a couple of wires to the switch.
I was thinking that myself have to work out the pricing
Nice rig.. do you guys have a club catch up? If so where abouts thanks I am looking to join a 4wd club.
I'm based in Adelaide myself. No club as such but there is a small group of us who usually go out on trips.
Unfortunately with this whole COVID-19 pandemic, our current trip to the Victorian High Country has been postponed as the state government have closed the borders for any domestic travel. As of 4pm this coming Tuesday police will be patrolling the border to stop people traveling.
I'll do a short video this week on all the travel restrictions currently in place.
@@OzTrax4X4 yes no worries just a question I am having to upgrade my bull bar not winch compatible I see the one you have did you have to get a separate steel cradle for the winch ? Or does the bullbar already have it? Cheers
@@jasonoregan3661 Hey mate
I did a fair bit of research before deciding which way I wanted to go.
I have the Ironman Commercial Deluxe bullbar on now after upgrading from my original ECB Alloy Bullbar.
That comes with the winch cradle.
The TJM T-15 bullbar requires you have to buy it separately and that was a far more expensive bullbar with a not so great look in my opinion, but you can add a winch in later with that one.
Just depends which way you want to go. What did you decide on purchasing?
@@OzTrax4X4 I have a TJM bullbar on at the moment went to nailsworth TJM that had a look at and so I ordered the cradle for it when I got it it wasn't the right cradle TJM made bars specifically for toyota so they were slightly different anyways I got it shortened and rewelded went to fit it today but still the actual shape and curviture of this TJM bar will not allow this cradle to fit in it so I am pretty pissed to be honest wasted dollars on the cradle $260.. So I am going to change the bar the ironman looks alright I've got the Domin8r Xtreme 12,000lb Winch
It's a big fucker lol 😂 and real heavy so the ironman should fit it hopefully . Thanks for getting back in touch when all this pandemic settles would be good to catch up with you guys as I am completely new to the 4x4 scene and waiting to use it and learn about it 😂..
@@jasonoregan3661 Sounds like a headache.
Dion down there used to have a 90 series Prado, so he should have been able to sort all that out for you.
Fourplay 4X4 are the Ironman Dealer just down the road from TJM in Nailsworth.
More than happy for you to join us in our adventures.
Before all this COVID-19 pandemic, we actually had a trip planned to head to the Victorian High Country, but now that is done and dusted for this year unless the restrictions get lifted before October for interstate travel.
Cape York next year though. 🤙

What size tyres are you running
You mean "was I running".
Sadly she has been written off, but I had 285/75/16's
@@OzTrax4X4 guts bro! What happened i really enjoy your videos. I just brought 2nds 285s on -22s for my kzj95. Im putting in a 2 inch lift. My vehicle is stock atm brought 12k for 200ks on clock.
Details are on my Facebook page.
You'll want to go for a zero offset.
@@OzTrax4X4 why 0 offset. They rub the guards?
Yeah you'll rub even more with -22s
I was going to do a video on the whole setup, but that won't be happening now.

What's your top 10?
Hey mate, where did you get the recovery points? I have a 02 model
I got a bit excited and asked before the vid finished haha
Good question to ask. 🤙
If you head over to here - www.aironboard.com.au/store/recovery-tow-points-3500-for-toyota-prado-90.html
That will get you the same recovery points I use.
Only thing I suggest is to add some washers to the bolts.
Ironman says they don't sell this bumper. Do you have a model #? Thank you! 😁
It's 100% still for sale here in Australia.

There is also an LED upgrade kit for the fog lights.
That is part #BBPART031.
Hope that helps 🤠👌

@@generalcaeser9176 Might be a tough ask getting that in the USA.
Unfortunately, aftermarket 90 series options are starting to get less and less.
Even I struggled with some things on my build, and its one of the main reasons I didn't get another after the accident and instead went over to an 80 series.
There is just way more support and options for the 80 series.
@@OzTrax4X4 I wonder about the difference in the 80 and 90 series (diesel only). I hear tale that the 90 has more get up and go for passing and get's better fuel economy but that the 80 series has more torque. Not that I'm buying this for fuel economy, but I do have a 64 mile one way trip into town and a big difference could add up quick.
90 series is a lightweight, narrow body, four wheel drive.
If you were to go turbo diesel 80 series vs turbo diesel 90 series, the 80 would be the vehicle of choice, manual transmission of course if you're looking for economy.
At some point I'll do a pro's and cons video. 🤠👌
Hey buddy what did the bash plate an bull bar set up set u back also have 90series
Hey Mark
Bash plates were custom made, set of three will set you back about $510.
Bullbar is an Ironman Commercial Deluxe.
They retail for around the $1700 mark.
What’s the range you get? I’ve got a 98 and I only get around 560km with 160L
Is that around town or highway?
Around town I'm seeing around 900kms on both main and sub tanks, highway kms yet to be fully tested.
I'd be checking a few things out.
Make sure your brakes aren't dragging and check that your viscous fan hub isnt seized.
Thanks I’ll have to have a look, did the snorkel help with fuel effincey?
@@michaelowen5909 Yeah I reckon it helped a little, definitely better to pull in cold air in a fuel-injected motor anyway and the air ram effect gives a bit more torque.
What’s the air ram effect?
What work did you have to do to get it up to scratch?
I've done a heap to it.
New suspension, rear lower trailing arm bushes, steering rack mount bushes, lower ball joints which as you'd know is an issue itself, front brake calipers, outer tie rod ends, new a/c condenser, evaporator, tx valve and drier, new cv shafts as well.
@@OzTrax4X4 what's the tx valve and drier?
So, to explain this one, I used to work in the automotive HVAC industry.
The TX (thermatic expansion) valve bolts to the evaporator.
That is where the a/c gas changes state from a vapour to a liquid.
If this valve is stuck open or stuck closed, it causes either a drop or increase in pressure and your a/c system doesn't work properly or at all.
Hard to explain as I never worked on HVAC systems myself, but I'm sure there are plenty of videos in TH-cam which would explain how it works.
@@OzTrax4X4 ye right interesting need to get mine regassed after years of putting it off ahah
Get it leak tested first before you regas to make sure it's all sealed properly. 😉
