  1. Just use an online image host such as Imageshack.
  2. I'm assuming you are talking about weathershields. They are just mounted by double sided tape and a few metal hooks. I removed my slimline by digging into the tape a bit to loosen up the adhesive and just pulled them off.
  3. Shame it's FWD and not RWD. I guess the ES is really a fully equiped Aurion.
  4. I don't think you read Ramsay or my post did you?
  5. It's a camry not an aurion. The camry does have a manual version but the aurion is only auto.
  6. Who has time too search for such an old thread?
  7. Always do a wheel alignment when you put on new tyres.
  8. Do you have the 4cyl or V6? I get around 7L/100km on the V6 Rav4.
  9. all AT-X models have a different tachometer than other models so there is no fuel consumption reading.
  10. GR90 - http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Bridgestone/Turanza-GR90.htm A drive - http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Yokohama/A-Drive.htm You can decide from there.
  11. Look for Bridgestone Turanza GR90. They are one of the best all rounders you can get for your tyre size
  12. Use forum search or Google. It's not that hard.
  13. Any particular reason? Are they going to last considerably longer than the Dunlops? Had them on the Landcruiser and the ride was pretty comfortable and quiet. Grip was also good and they do last longer than other tyres.
  14. I also have a 80 series 4.5L 6cyl Landcruiser too :) How lucky!!! Im going to be running it mainly on gas and would like to know what the fuel consumption is, litres per 100km (mostly city driving)? - I get around 23L/100km on pure gas in city driving. What is fuel consumption (on gas) like when towing a trailer (700kgs weight)? - You would be looking around 30-35L/100km. What maintenance is required for a gas landcruiser? - Just the normal petrol maintance (oils, coolant, brake fluid etc) + topping Valve saver fluid for LPG system. What are the average costs (not including labour costs, just parts costs) for common items needed for regular servicing (e.g tyres, brakes, timing belt etc)? - Tyres you are looking around $1200 for a set of good tyres - Brakes were $200 for the whole car which were also good brakes - Timing belt can't remember how much it cost but shouldn't be too much. How much are gas services on average not including oil change filter change and all other oil changes, just the gas system? - Not sure how much it cost since i do it myself at home. You just look for any gas leaks and top up the Valve saving fluid. How often should you service a gas car? - Gas you can check yourself as often as you want. - Petrol i say 6 months since you will be towing it and adding extra cargo onto the landcruiser. Im pretty clued on when it comes to cars (but never had a gas car), am I able to service the gas system myself? - Like i said above simple topping up of Valve saving fluid is all you need to maintain the gas system. Is there anything ive got to watch out for owning a gas car? - Just remember to drive petrol once in a while. - Also our head gasket cracked because when the gas conversion is done the head gasket is also meant to be changed as well. Ours is copper now and there is no problem. That cost us $3k for everything. I’ve heard that running a car on gas will reduce the life of the engine, for those who have a gas Landcruiser, what’s your opinion? - the 4.5L 6cyl in the Landcrusier will take sh*t for petrol so i'm not worried about gas. The engine is the least of my worries in the Landcrusier. Is there anything ive got to look out for when purchasing a Landcruiser (common problems etc)? - Just like any other car. Just check for normal things you would look into a car. Car servicing, interior/exterior damage etc. - These Landcrusiers are built like tanks so i don't worry about them.
  15. I would recommend the Toyo HT.
  16. 18x7.5 +40 or 18x8.5 +38 for 245/45R18 tyres?

  17. Where can i buy steel wheel nuts for toyota rims? Not after fancy ones just want high quality steel ones.

  18. playing around with asus transformer prime :D

  19. ^ It's a Toyota so i wouldn't worry too much.
  20. If they put in the IS350 engine into the Aurion that would be a good improvement but i doubt Toyota will do this. :(
  21. Cheapest: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2007-2008-2009-2010-2011-Toyota-Camry-Single-Double-Din-Radio-Dash-Kit-/390374123652?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae41c6884
  22. My amp is under the front passenger seat and my sub is under the driver seat.
