Interesting self-driving story: In the 20 days from Sichuan to Tibet, I directly scrapped Toyota's bullying.

Starting from Sichuan, we drove Prado to Tibet and then came back from Qinghai. In the last section of the trip, the Toyota Prado engine has started knocking on the cylinder, and the piston is too worn, resulting in too large clearance with the cylinder wall and bending of the connecting rod. However, because I was in the middle of nowhere, I drove Prado for more than 300 kilometers. As a result, when I got off the highway, the engine was scrapped with a loud noise.

The original 4.0 engine that has been removed has completely leaked oil.

This generation of overbearing, 4.0 engine, code 1GR, is hard to buy in the market now.

This is the removed engine bottom. It can be found that after entering Tibet, the bottom of the whole engine has been covered with mud. Without disassembling the engine, I really don't know that Prado, who has fought side by side with me for so many years, is in the first-line combat zone every day.

The removed gearbox and transfer case have to be said that the Toyota Prado gearbox is very durable, and the load of the gearbox is very high in such a poor place like Tibet.

New engines elsewhere.

Seeing the new engine, I suddenly felt grateful for the scrapped engine. After all, I've been fighting myself for so many years.

This is also a new gearbox.

This is my Prado, because the engine was scrapped, the repair shop directly removed it, and the engine cover was removed, and the whole engine compartment was empty.

At this time, I found that the engine compartment of Prado was very large, and I felt that it was no problem to put a 12 cylinder engine in it.

Look at the essence of Prado, there are girders, which is why so many people like Prado and land cruisers. This kind of car with girder structure is not comparable to ordinary suv in some bad road conditions.

With the engine removed, Prado looks like a scrapped car. Basically, the whole road in Tibet is dominated by bullying and off-road vehicles, and some locals drive Alto and the like.

The workers are making some adjustments to the engine.

Qi Xin cooperated to transplant the engine to Prado.

Clean up the engine harness and replace some aging harnesses. This car feels like it can run for another 10 years.

Workers are installing a gearbox. A gearbox is also very heavy and needs several people to cooperate.

Many car owners know that it is important to install silicone oil fans, but I don't know why. Old drivers who are familiar with the situation can talk about it in the comments.

Prado, a friend of mine who went to Tibet with me, had an old car, so it broke down. His car was still fierce. Although my Toyota Prado was scrapped when I entered Tibet this time, I still have great confidence in the durability of Prado because of its age.

What can I say?

I can only say that my brother is terrible.
