Toyota Land Cruiser Prado-feedback is not the owner

Getting to the 79 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado I have started immediately once it bought one of my friends. By then the standards and levels of income are considered top gradient. Left rudder, diesel 3L, wooden equipment, but it is enough to feel that comfort after haylyuksa spring. Maintenance of the car continues and now, after 5 years. Over the years, many of which try to tell.
First was immediately pomenyana tires, after which the machine zimoystala confidently to behave on the road, before that except Cow ice had not caused any association. Next on the roof rack was set purchase. It became more machines to take on board in the long-distance travel, but bash it was not enough. Therefore, it was time to make a decision priyanto trunk under their own needs. We had a welding, welding the same, zakupilis square tubes and the day svarganili rack on the entire roof. Painted, installed, tested. In spend nearly added to the hundreds of liters. Ironically mudrili with varying forms obtekatelyami nothing changed, decided that the cowl is not needed and nahren smasterili chandeliers in the front tube. Night has been going on debryam spaciousness.
It is not enough for long-distance travel 220 volts. Tried bespereboynik from computer to 500 Watt-kept but not enough. Decided to be a professional converters in the car at 2 kW. For such power from the batteries had prodernut two cable cross-sections about 3 square centimeters. And those I was nothing. Transmitter hiding under the passenger seat, raised at the last prostavkah increase. Worked so that you can connect or elektropilu bolgarku. Further uluchshatelstva related to the installation of additional generators and illumination for PAZa sdavaniya astern. More heck sidushki thrown from the luggage instead of them now are 2 columns to 150 Watt.
Now, of the problems. The box of a car is not very impressive after haylyuksovskoy. Nut shank taught otkrutitsya split sleeves and connecting with razdatku box. What happened, broke the socket, then srezalo shlitsy at shaft. Vale do not buy steel from Haisa vkoryachili box, replacing the lid leverage switching speeds. in subsequent razborkah-sborkah nut, it was decided to further kerneniem privarivat to the shank. The scheme proved to be very reliable.
After 3 years of exploitation proseli springs, put barnaulskie-shit was tight and lomuchie. Rounded to the local factory, there springs They spread Alexander's old and new ordeals. They spread Alexander's Storage by 3 cm, it has proved itself. There is thought to brag rear bridge mezhkolesnoy lockup, he was placed only on pradiki with automaton. Long primeryalis, eventually bought and raised, stood up well. Disc brakes at the rear bridge were the same way.
At the road is difficult to find something better than a serial car. No liftovki not required that the machine would be where there was a uazik. The front and rear bumper steel, so the branch is not afraid of bending, haydzhek which have the same substitute. On normal route barn. Long trips tiring. The city is not precarious not slowly, but given that all obstacles in the form of curbs barrier is not even very interested in becoming a ride. Overall dizelek 3 El naturally aspirated, in govnam secure, in the dynamics are not interesting. But in fords can burn a car for most tomatoes, with no problemm electrician.
Now glyady Machine that 5 years, a dream has not seemed to sense gradient, there skripit, is upset, there is not enough pribambasov for the lazy. But the machine still inspires respect for connoisseurs of off-the-road. And just as a horse track record working with the best. In the salon routinely includes refrigerator, on rack in the entire roof-Table 3-meter, so much of which to dump it, just not upomnish. Had machines and small laser accident. Nothing, except pognutyh bull ... One word-tank ...
Speaking to spend 3 el 10-12 liters, given that most of the fuel at any pizditsya belazah jeep and diesel locomotives produced in the operation of goryuchke more economical than other car ...
