Hey Tony, I'm heading off to the "secret location" in the morning.
How did the trip down to Townsville go?
Notice any changes?
Your mate's OK? I'm in mental health these days so couldn't get any info,

My eldest bro just bought a new (2005) turbo diesel Prado with all the
glitzy add ons (except a bullbar and driving lights). Only bought it to tow
a huge van (which he's yet to buy). No serious 4wding, not even any dirt
roads :((

I can get JetA1 (jet kero) from  work.
Depends on who you talk too, some say it's OK for diesel's if you add a
little oil to it , others say don't use it at all.
If so, what oil and how much?

I went and test drove a new VX Prado today. The sales guy said that the
new 1KD-FTE common rail turbo diesel engine - the one that is just out
in the HiLux will soon make it into the Prado in Australia. Its more
efficient, more powerful, cheaper to maintain and much cleaner ...

Guy just rolled up with a nice shiny red Jeep. Told me about the manifold,
cat converter woes, O2 sensor etc. Spent heaps on his "new" 4wd already.

A couple questions if anyone can help "using a 93 Nissan Patrol 4.2 or 80s
Toyota Land Cruiser 4.2"
1. When you lock the front wheels in and you change the gears from 4WD to
2WD and stay in 2WD for short/long term can this do damage

I know, a difficult question along the lines of how long is a piece of
string.
I'm in the process of buying a '96 Hilux, "Tamworth LE" no less!
2.8 ltr diesel with 200,000 k's. - $14,500.

Had a bit of a squizz at the Musso sport recently.
I recon they're on a winner here.
At last a twin cab with decent comfort in the back.  The best I've
experienced to date has been the Holden Rodeo which the local Elders

The muffler on my 1990 4Runner is almost kaput and Toyota don't supply them
anymore. I've done a bit of Googling, and some people reckon that a less
restrictive muffler and tailpipe make a big difference to performance. It's
the 22R (4-cylinder petrol) version and it's been a great ...

Howdy, just about due for some new tyre's. Presently Hancook 275/70/16's.
They were ok, got about 60,000 k out of them.
Any other similar size, possibly longer wearing alternatives?
Thanks
