Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs
Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM -

3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install
Hi there sorry for the late response, The reverse guidelines are on the factory camera itself (the guidelines are turned off on the Pioneer unit as it doubled up over the factory camera lines) and if I remember correctly they still retain the angle prediction. Everything else (excluding DAB) works***. But instead of using DAB I've downloaded RadioApp which has all of the DAB stations on it and is accessible by Android Auto (not sure on Apple CarPlay though) so no biggie. I also used an adapter to retain the original GPS antenna, works flawlessly. *** EDIT *** The info on the instrument cluster may or may not show, depending on what interface you end up using. In my case I've lost the audio and navigation info on the centre screen and fuel economy/vehicle customisation screens from the factory head unit but I'm not fussed by it as there are other ways to access them on a Kluger. I think it's all retained if you use iDatalink Maestro and a compatible head unit (it will be marked as such) but besides that and DAB all other functions are still operable. -

Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry
Thanks, Mate - i'll give it a go. As you say, $15 is better than replacing a damaged headlight (not to mention the aggravation). -

KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub
That's a dual-cab tub, much shorter than the single-cab. It's also an 8th-gen Hilux tub, the OP has a 7th-gen @rckly Redbook seems to show the single-cab tub was available in the 2WD low-rider spec, for the high-rider/4WD it came as king-cab or dual cab only (cab-chassis available for all shapes and sizes)- 1

Toyota Landcruiser problems
Hi This is not so much to the forum but to Toyota who i cannot contact!! Purchased new 300 Landcruiser ($120k) & generally happy with the drive but frustrated with fixing problems. bonnet need restuffing took me 5 Toyota dealerships & a lot time i cannot afford for a 3 day job afer it had been booked into Heidelberg & on collection did not perform the stuffing to stock it shaking & reflecting strong sun light into drivers eyes when vehicle was clean. when i collected vehicle from overnight service (2 days) after 2nd visit with some booking confusion they told me they need vehicle for 3 days just prior to me driving from Melbourne to Flinders rangers SA again very costly in time to me because a bolt had fallen out of turbo charger (20k klm). i have had a list if issues none of the 5 Toyota dealerships visited can resolve: no guests can close the rear hatch because you need to slam it & most do not have the strength even if they new what to do - seal has been replaced. i have never been able to understand logic of why no rear hatch release was included in vehicle, 1st vehicle i have owned without boot release? no location for key apart from centre console where key is lost amongst so many items unable to reverse any trailer, boat or horse float as vehicle brakes & locks up which is dangerous to horses being thrown & reversing into drive with traffic on a busy road - every possible idea has been suggested again very expensive on my time but no one can resolve! Unable to get google maps or music without plugging cord into phone - very aged technology but safari same vehicle does not need cord!! do not understand this logic other than justifying another $20k Radio or music must be reloaded after each phone call or restarting vehicle - some 6-8 buttons to reload music - very frustrating. AM 3AW is muffled & very poor quality (not my hearing). Alarm of beeping drivers door cannot be turned off - i do not need vehicle to alarm warning me of drivers door open as i am the one who purposely have left door open - very frustrating & no need for alarm beeping, cannot turn this off!! Ordered dark interior but got light interior ?? which i accepted on the condition the carpet was not light beige, guess what it was. Why would a country farm 4 wheel drive have white carpet? Toyota what are you thinking? i have a black cattle working dog so my rear interior is trashed & the fabric entraps dog hair unlike a good quality wool carpet, poor quality synthetic which is not serviceable like previous BMW quality. i would love Toyota direct (not dealerships / agents who are not trained) to help me resolve direct. Direct contact with Toyota not possible, customer service from dealerships disappointing based on cost of vehicle, i believe i am a very reasonable person. -
