After a few months of been undecided and having to trim down my fleet of vehicles . I finally decided to keep the 90.
Sold one of the others which means undercover storage for the 90.
No new mods or repairs done yet. Just been driving it locally to see how much work it needs .
Also put the old girl on the local weigh bridge to get an idea of how much fat she is and what springs I will need to use to bring her back to at least as high as a stock 90 series
That looks pretty cool stripped back like that.
Will be interesting what you come up with for the 'next round of mods'
At this rate it's all just about getting her back in full working and functioning form . Them I'll think about playing with some 35" tyres on 16x8 et -13wheels to see if I can clear them and how much work with out body lift.
Next weeks job is playing with some 2016 prado 150 series springs to see how it sits
Eventually I'd like to do front and rear brush bars .
New suspension is in. Ruff ride hights are 780mm to 790 on flat ground. Was at 725 and 750mm with the old over loaded springs fitted. Will re messure once been driven again.
Spring's used were 2016 Toyota prado 150 series standard fitted springs .
Rear has 30mm rubber insolator fitted.
Suspension hight measured parked on local weigh bridge.
From lower wheel lip to flair measurement
LHF 790mm
RHF 780mm
LHR 785mm
RHR 780mm
Total vehicle weight =2.34t was measure with 10 to 20ltr of fuel.
