Toyota Land Cruiser Prado LC120

googling,
it's the 1949 toyota logo.
the markings inside read "toyota".

back when i was a kid i thought that logo means "T37" or "TE7". Before google was very popular my uncle told me that was the former corporate symbol of Toyota whlie he fixes his Corolla.

^ I've always wondered what that particular logo/heritage band meant or signified.

Is that trd in Japanese or something like that?

the founder, mr. toyoda, changed the name of the car to toyota.
it takes ten strokes of the calligraphy pen to write toyoda in japanese, and only eight strokes to write toyota.
eight is a lucky number to them.

^ so that's what it is. Stylized Toyota in katakana Pala Siya. [emoji106]

Concept of next gen Prado.
Ganda! Sana matuloy...
Problem lang with the Prados & cousin FJ (discontinued) is that they're huge SUVs that need big engines (of course) that guzzle fuel...

The new Lexus GX is getting a twin turbo V6 just like the LC300. If they use the same engine lineup for the Prado it's going to be one fast SUV.

same goes if the 2.8L 1GD will be replaced with the LC300's 3.3L V6 twin turbo diesel. This is going the be a torque monster for a mid SUV.

Fulfilled a request to have his bags dumped the hobo way. Good riddance to something that'll never last...even by Toyota.[emoji4]

Yup. Modded reversibly, avoided molestation, all parts safely kept in his parts bin.....no more longterm maintenance challenges. Now rides much better than having a faulty system & is open to more suspension options.[emoji4]

I did replace a wheel bearing back in July of 2010 with about 50,000++ kms on the clock. It was the left front one, which my suking mekaniko found to have some play. Brought the Prado to my friend's auto supply shop in Paranaque to have it replaced. Can't quite recall how much it cost though.

Ok sir IMm29. Thanks.

[IMm29]

[revo2]

Not yet sir IMm29.
