Just watched a video by a cyclone chaser and he basically said that the rainfall we're going to get over the next 3 days is going to be close to 1000ml.. meant to be 300ml today and tomorrow and friday.. Starting to get quite nervous about leaving my car parked in a potential flood zone and at my house which is the same story. Wish i had a garage fuuuuuuuuuu.

I'm over it already, pointless us being at work going to have no customers when it's pissing down rain. My backyard was almost flooded this morning lucky i had my car locked up in the garage at work overnight

My 2013 FJ Cruiser has been finally ordered won't be here March so time, have started ordering some parts for it. It will pretty much look like the yellow FJ below, except mine will be White and have slightly smaller tires. Can't wait to start tearing shit up. :yucky:

Coming soon:

- King Shocks 2-3" Lift

- Road Armour Bullbar

- Mickey Thompson Classic Lock II Black 17x9 Rims

- Mickey Thompson MTZ 285/70 R17 33" Tires

I'm actually looking at something smaller. Anyone got opinions of a Ford Kuga?

I know they are only a small SUV, but I just want a simple daily for now. They have the 5 cylinder turbo volvo motor in them, same as the XR5. 150kw and 300nm and AWD. Should easily hit over 200kw with an edit.

With a decent engine and AWD, I thought it might be a good setup.

and yes, I know Bennys FJ would probably run right over the top of it, lol.

Go for a Prado Jono.. 150 series (current model) a couple of years old with low km's is going to cost you mid 50's depending on the model. I would go for a GXL personally.

Keep in mind too a Toyota is going to hold it's value better than most other cars in the market and they are damn reliable. I have a few here at work mate.

Prado is the same chassis as the FJ Cruiser, same engine etc. and the FJ is 50K new. All other Toyota's are over priced and they come with f**k all features compared to other car makers, only paying for the name.

Shocks and Bullbar ordered now i'm broke :( not a bad way to spend 6K, still deciding on rims its a hard choice, i sent a email to USA for a Set of TRD Beadlock rims, and Transit Tyres in Mackay wanted $480 a tire for MT MTZ .... f**k that can get BFG Mud Terrains for Tirerack.com for $200 each.

I agree Ben, but i prefer the Prado interior probably the only thing i don't like about the FJ is the square windscreen doesn't feel like there's much vision out the front of the car but other than that i like them.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
