I am more into stock standard with an emphasis upon preventative maintenance and efficiency gains.

However, I am highly interested in this modification for potential efficiency gains.

Although not a modification, lots of advantages in having the best quality known brand tyres suitable for your driving style and requirements.

After tyres, my next emphasis would be upon suspension e.g. replacing worn struts again with a quality known brand suitable for your driving style and requirements.

+1 for good tyres, combo them with good brake pads as well

Maintain good levels of fluids, id also suggest a rear sway bar and replace all bushes to polyurethane

Happy Modding !

Welcome Blake..Like some of the messages you have already received..Β I too am into keeping my Presara mostly stock..I have done some of the de-badge thing and a grill change plus good quality low profile tyres and quality brake pads..I also changed the head unit as I love my music and wanted a better sat/nav system..quality parts with preventative maintenance is my main thing..it looks like you have the foundation for a great car mate..good luck and keep it on the black stuff

I've read that upgrading the front brakes to Kluger twin pot calipers is the go, with larger discs. I've got them sitting out back, waiting for me to clean them up, give 'em a service and a lick of paint, and then I'll stick them in.

Oh yeah, giving the transmission an oil change too. Flushing it and filling it with fully synthetic made for smoother changes in my departed TRD.

Another job that I'll do at the same time as the brakes, which I'll do when I get a new CV joint, since my current one is shot haha haaaa sigh

Kluger brakes, pretty cheap and as easy as changing pads

Lower it and new shocks

brighter globes - possibly a light bar

Wider - possibly larger wheels I have 245/45/18 under a lowered car, rolled guards.

I have done all of these and like them.

Wanted to know whereabouts did you find your plain chrome grill for your presara as it's quite hard to find

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
