OK, put in a warranty issue at the 60,000km service. They took photos - I took more and sent them to the dealership. The dealership (Phillip, Canberra) did all the ringing around and getting quotes...

Just an update to close my contribution to this tread - on a car without the lift kit but with a TJM Explorer bar, spot lights and UHF aerial hanging off the front. I've had no issues (as far as I am...

Think so too. But it beeps once (like the low fuel alert) then shuts up. The low pressure light remains on on the dash, but that's it.

Not sure what you mean by 'accomodate'. I've run at 44psi travelling, and standard use around 40psi. No faults/ warning signs show up. On most tracks I start at 28psi on my gauge, which reads 26psi...

Thought I might add - this has now done some light stuff in the Brindabella's, a 4WD course (2 actually) and been up around Newnes/ Blue Mountains. I have no 'bump-stop' issue that some people have...

I think I'm going to get that second one from Ned that covers the sump. The rest I'll probably give a miss. I don't know of anyone who's had issues from the sump back with most 4WDs - but there will...

Yep - very true on the wheels/ tyres. To be honest it had escaped my attention.

And yep - Blackwolf Turbo+ - awesome seperate part for the kids and something that after probably twenty trips over...

I'd probably wait for the Roadside ones to come out (TJM stock them) if I had my time again - only because then you'd have a TJM product with a TJM product fitted by TJM (Facebook pages suggest a...

Thought I'd post a pic or two with the TJM T3 bar finally finished. As it happens I ended up doing the work myself, although seeing as the whole thing comes off in 3 weeks (the original installer put...

You have a fair bit more there; the specific gravity of our unleaded is close enough to 0.71 --- it's not water, so 1L does not weigh 1Kg (very, very often miscalculated). 1 litre weighs 713grams. So...

I've got the T3 Bar fitted, but without the hoop or rubber buffers, plus recovery points from On Track. I will post pic's and a proper review once the hoop is in - because to do so now wouldn't be...

Just posting in case anyone is interested in the numbers for it...

Front Runner rack on a stock standard car, full fuel and about 40kg's in the back sits at 205cm tall (tiny bit under). The...

Jeeze - way to jump to a conclusion that it must be personal! AFAIK, you didn't put anything out there to say one was better than the other - sorry if you think I was targeting you, but I wasn't...

There's no justifying here - anyone who buys a vehicle based purely on the head would buy a $10,000 third hand school-run 4WD and pocket the $70,000 in savings. Personally I think anyone who tries to...

I came from a 2012 LC200 GXL, with a 2016 GXL Prado in between, and after 5000km's the Y62 is using around 2L/100km more than what I got on the diesel LC200. I am getting around 14.5L in driving that...

Well, I've decided I'll get the bar without the lift. Works going to take me away for around 8 months overseas later in the year - so I figure if it is needed, then I can get it when I can come back,...

Yep - that's why I didn't want to go Rhino Bar - it's protection, but only half of it. The single loop coves the part I want covered - the radiator. Lights and side panels - I can get home without...

I am going through this right now, with the same car. I HAVE booked in at the end of this month for the TJM Explorer (single hoop) bar on the front, with recovery hooks, lights and an aerial to go on...

Seeing as my LC200 motor lasted 135,000km (2012 GXL) and my last Prado 2.8 had the signs of failure at 60,000km - I reckon a petrol motor with no DPF, no EGR, no Ad Blue, no turbo's will shape up...

Generally a true statement on DPFs - but that's not the problem with the 2.8's on the Prado, Hilux or Fortuner. It's a design fault that has them unable to reach operating temperatures above around...

Having just come from a 2016 Prado with a 2.8 - I can absolutely state that there is less body roll in the Y62, far less nose-diving under deceleration and far less wandering on the road than the...

Picked mine up last Friday. Goes in for the 1000km service this Friday :) Did a trip around the Brindabella's and Mt Selwyn - 5 on board and averaged 14.2 on the computer (only filled it once so far...
