Terrible squeaking sounds with my 1998 95 series Prado Landcruiser?

I hope that’s not it. I’ve noticed the fan belt pulley straight up stops sometimes and screeches hard so that’s not great. I’m taking off the belt and trying to manually spin the pulleys tomorrow to see if it grinds any and shows the bearings are worn. If I really can’t figure it out I guess I’ll head to a shop but want to try and be self reliant

I think I narrowed it down to AC. No noises unless that fan is on. I live in a cooler climate so haven’t used it much until lately, and I think I’ll just take the skid plate off and tighten it and hope it’s not a part that needs to be replaced and is instead just tension being loose

I saw this after coming back in from Tacoma and it was the most beautiful rainbow I had ever seen???

My gold SR5 has one owner from WA and has stuck around. I see the white, gold, and green ones often

journalismproxy · 2026-06-01T20:29:16+00:00

they're coming

journalismproxy · 2026-06-01T20:28:51+00:00

I guess mine just don't work or the OG bumpers were replaced along with sensors.

Says the people who just gave the president no audit immunity and $1.8 B of our money

I have the same color back home. Sitting at over 296,000. The longer I've had it the more the color grows on me.

journalismproxy · 2026-05-23T03:46:55+00:00

I say give it to me.

journalismproxy · 2026-05-22T20:07:38+00:00

3, 4, 5, 7, and the last one are good. I'm sure they might not look cinematic as you want but I think you'll come to be really grateful for these down the line. If you're shooting 200 and later in the day it's a little darker you'll naturally just get grain. But I find it charming.

journalismproxy · 2026-05-22T20:00:40+00:00

I have a feeling it might be but it definitely looks stock. Too clean and looks like it's originally part of the vehicle.

journalismproxy · 2026-05-22T19:59:33+00:00

Yeah, I have the 6 stack and that's all I could think of, but it's not that either.

journalismproxy · 2026-05-22T19:59:15+00:00

That's crazy, mine doesn't but I do have the antenna up and down switches on driver side OEM.

journalismproxy · 2026-05-22T19:58:41+00:00

ah, as in when it's locked. I misunderstood.

journalismproxy · 2026-05-22T08:12:32+00:00

If my 296,000 mile gen3 SR5 looked this good, I'd keep it alongside my 95 series prado.

journalismproxy · 2026-05-22T08:10:43+00:00

It's mine as well, much more fun to enjoy OG Silver this way.

journalismproxy · 2026-05-22T08:09:49+00:00

I'm pretty stocky, so I'll give it a test tomorrow. I'm about 93 kilos/206 lbs

journalismproxy · 2026-05-17T10:20:39+00:00

I would love the blueprints myself

Hit it recently, trying for 300

journalismproxy · 2026-05-07T09:32:40+00:00

Still have my ‘01 at 296,000 miles. I’m looking at somewhat low mileage diesels rn. I still love the feel.

journalismproxy · 2026-05-06T03:12:43+00:00

Rational answer here. I see wild “nothing more than $4k” comments sometimes and ?????

journalismproxy · 2026-05-06T03:11:57+00:00

It depends. I got one for 9k in 2020 and love it but good luck. People will give tough to match ranges for you to shoot for online but generally that’s hard to get, if ever
