It wasn’t exactly my first choice, but an E34 525i was deemed inadvisable, as was a transmission-hungry Volvo XC90 V8, as well as some other parental vetos along the way. BUT HEY, I HAVE A CAR AGAIN!!! It’s got about 208,00 miles on it, but with the 2UZ in it, it’s got at least another 100k left in it.

Plans

short-term

keep it mostly stock, but....

secondary air injection pump bypass kit

Prado rebadge?

put on some BFG KO2s when the Michelin LTXs that are on it right now are up for replacement

long-term

1VD-FTV swap

very nice. Best of luck with that 1VD...

On s serious note, I really like the way these look built up and they run great as expo rigs.

Also, I bought a secondary air pump bypass kit, took about 5 min. to install. Seems worth it.

Skip the rebadge, buy a tire repair kit or a snatch strap and shackles instead..

Smart call on getting the air suspension sorted. That really is the weak point on these cars. Do you know when the timing belt was changed last? Toyota recommends every 100,000 miles but people tend to ignore that recemmendation.

Not the air suspension, the thing that pumps air from the exhaust manifold to the interior of the cats to heat them up faster because THE ENVIRONMENT. And yeah timing belts were serviced not long ago.

It’s an ‘03 I don’t know if that’s of any significance.
