Corey, what about jeeps? Few Cherokees around? Also looking at pajero's prado's pathfinders and maybe x5's

Stay away from jeeps unless you like catching on fire

Yes to prados, and x5's seem nice

Pathfinders are a pain to repair, especially the transfer cases and the electrics. Early Pajeros are good, the new ones had a recall from memory for overheating problems but they are weeding them out, gearboxes in them are strong but if you are going to tow campers/boats/caravans/race cars you may need to invest in airbags as they sag in the ass real bad

Leaning towards pajero's now. Only looking at putting 150ish on the ball. That only drops the rear of the zook 25mm so doubt the paj will sag any further. Unfortunately recently found out our car is good for 85kg only. Spewin cos it tows it well

Something like this Trev? Pajero's depreciate far worse than Prados so you can pick up a relatively late model one in good condition for considerably less $$

One of our mechanics had one, did 400,000 kms without too many dramas.

120 Series Prado would be a good tow vehicle as well if you can find one at a comparable price to a Pajero.

    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
