90 Series Prado - Tyres & Trim

[robpark]

Hi Guys

Looking for an inexpensive, used, set of 4/5 265/75R16 Muds - Cooper STT, Hankook RT03, Kumho KL71 or similar - 10mm+ tread. (Would also conside 265/70)

Also, centre console lid (the flap) & whatever holds the gear lever gaiter in place (?)

...I suspect the list will be extended

...also discovered the battery clamp is missing the hooked rod that holds it in place

I fitted batteries that were slightly bigger than previous ones and needed longer clamp rods, bought some stainless 6mm threaded rod and made my own. Do an eBay search for threaded rod, that's how I found it.

Cheers , I wondered if threaded rod would just break if I tried to bend it into a hook

Mine didn't, I just bent it with a pair of pliers, you could try heating it first though.

Cheers, dude - fitted my new battery clamp rod today (6mm stainless, courtesy of Ebay) - only a small job, but the first one done

To paraphrase the Moonwalkers "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for Cruiserkind" congrats on your 1st job, of course you do realise it's the start of a slippery slope, now you've done one I just know you are now looking for the next one to do

...true, but first I've got to see what it's going to cost me to get it through the MOT tomorrow
