Huuuuuuge difference the 3 litres had some serious power loss issues, the TD42 is rock solid, power on tap, if you dont have one already a snorkel is the best power improvement you can get for under $300 they really need lots of cool air.Ozjono said:Just got a new second hand one , 2001.

Had one until I got T-boned in October, it was a total loss according to the insurance company. A 2003 Chevy S-10.
ouch! looks like you could still drive it though?
80 series landcruiser, roof rack, cargo barrier, drawer, fridge slide, 12,000lb winch, 2 inch lift, dual battery, after market turbo, snorkel, UHF, HF, 2nd spare tyre, breathers, lots of scratches, a few dents, 320,000km, plenty of room for more finds!

insurers come out with some pretty disgusting "terms of reference" when it comes to vehicle write offs
are they getting bribed by car manufacturers or something ?
i have seen many vehicles classified as stat write offs so they can never be repaired and registered
when the repairs could be done for $ 2000 on a vehicle thats worth 15 grand , what planet are those W@#kers on ?

I have a duel tank 2013 Prado Landcruiser - added all extras needed for living away indefinitely....getting the snorkel fitted January. Upgrading suspension to take the winch....one engel fridge/freezer and one engel fridge for the beer.....mmmm beer (most important)
We will be towing a camper trailer (still trialling these) but must be extreme off road. Traded in our old Toyota Hilux Turbo which we pretty much 'paddock bashed' during it's reign. It was sad to let go but being a Jap import, it was getting harder and harder to get parts - we had it for 14 years and it was 10 years old when we got it. I miss it!
Over the years a lot of our friends/acquaintances have driven the Prado - especially off road and swear by em....it's a matter of choice isn't it..and these have been driven into extreme localities which will suit us.
Took it to Hill End in November and yes, going down and up and across every track and trail we could find, happily managed to put our first scratches on it. Well we didn't buy it to sit it in our drive way and look at it.

Sounds like a great rig, I'm loving my prado too. Nothing extreme for me yet but I'm confident it will go pretty much anywhere I want to.

Yep, I rest my case ha ha ha - this one should see me out....and I want to go out in comfort. I watched some friends with different 4B's go down tracks in front of us on our last outing and they were bounced, bumped and rattled all the way down...us on the other hand just sort of smoothly crawled down. Playing 'symphony music' while doing that, sort of comes to mind.
I bet you did, pretty cool features in the new ones.
