I’m pretty sure once you’re all done you’re only supposed to do bolts up hand tight, then lower it to the ground with full weight on all 4 wheels before torquing up properly. You can prematurely wear out the bushes on your shocks, sway bar links & panhard rod I’m lead to believe if everything is tightened too much prior to dropping the car. Great video though, I enjoyed it.
Thanks for the video? What you think does the wheel aligmnent need to be adjusted after lifting car this much? I am thinking the angle of the wheel might change.
Thank you for your answer. By the way, my engine is a 3.0L atmospheric 6-cylinder. 2004 (201TKM) well maintained and it has no particular problem except that it's sorely lacking in punch at medium and high revs. Is there a remedy for this which we could apply.
Use Toyota injector cleaner, replace your air filter with K&E performance filter, clean your intake manifold and turbo intercooler, replace your exhaust pipe with 3 inches from turbo back up to tail pipe.
Congratulations man, I'm going to show your video to my mechanic to put the same kit on my Prodo in France. Could you please indicate the part number and the constructor of the kit. I have been told that in Australia they are the best
It's a Pedders brand, you have to buy a kit. Part number is Pedders 7839, it depends on what ratings you wanted, how much load you carry. You have to buy an airbags and fit inside the rear coil springs. Thank you
Good video ( i have a 2007 GXL Prado 120 4ltr and will be doing the same) its been asked but you have not answered - what width are your rims? we know you say offset is neg 10 but what is the actual width of the rims? are they 9inch/ 10inch for example ( i do know 17 x 9inch width works best with zero offset on the 120 Prado). Also what aftermarlet airbag brand/part # did you use? My Prado is black and i have swapped out the front headlights with black binnacles/LED and swapped out the rear taillights complete assembly with LED's. Also fitted and Harrop E locker to rear diff & dual battery system/redark BCDC with rear slide-out draws & drop down table. These 120's are awesome 4wd's when you upgrade them
@mattyg7143 you need a pry bar to pry the coil in on the rear. On the front must have a spring compressor. Best easy way is brimg the springs and struts to the auto shop to assemble it. That's what i did I paid 80, find a shop near your place ask them if they van hrlp you to assemble the front shocks.
Hello po sir, ask lang po if yong OEM coil spring ng LC Prado J120 front and rear the same ba sa FJ cruiser at Fortuner? Salamat po sa explanation nyo.
Hi, Salamat sa information. What's the brand of the coil and suspension you are using? I also have a 2002 Prado 120 series in the Philippines with Iron man suspension but I need it lifted to be able to use a bigger tire. Thanks again.
Mate quick question, your Prado is a Grande? I'm being told, we cannot do an upgrade to the Grande, because of airbags on the rear, you have airbags?? You did not have any problems from watching your installation
Not a single nut or bolt torqued to spec...but hey, that's the Toyota way. Had you done this with a Discovery (i know, they have air suspension) you wouldn't have made it out of your driveway.
I do apply torque only on an engine rebuild, the rest just tight it. Prado Grande also have air suspension I have not done with the discovery I wish one day.
Great content, kabayan. I just bought an old 2003 Prado 4L V6 and planning to do a 2” lift like you did to your Prado. Just wondering, how much did it cost you for the Pedders 2” lift kit? TIA
@@gooddayvlogs23 Thanks mate. Nahirapan akong makakita ng parts and mechanics here in Metro Manila. Am going to modify my ride a bit for eventual car camping.
I have installed 30mm wheel spacers after a 2 inch suspension lift on Prado. The wheels are still stock. I have 3 options. Should I get -12 offset and remove spacers? Or Keep spacers with stock wheels Or Get -12 offset and let the wheel spacers be there..
Good day sir, nasa NSW po ako now, nag hahanap po ako ng Job here regarding in mechanic, airccon mechanic po ako sa pinas you can reply here po if you need a helper?? Thanks po sir.
2’ lift din sa akin and one time I used the 265/70/17, I noticed the fuel consumption was good however, it didn’t look proportion due the ground clearance after the 2’ lift. Anyway, thank you for your videos that gives us the idea owning a prado 120 series.
