However I think it has pushed the whole cross member up as the gearbox now squeaks against the floor and it has a massive vibration over about 1500 rpm. The rock I ran over I had been going over in my old 91 hilux and didnt even know it was there. These new utes are to low to the ground. They are a pretend 4wd not worth a pinch of manure (see I can write without swearing Blocker lol).
Just don't try and reverse a heavy trailer with the Prado!
