  • Another New Prado Owner

    Hi All,

    Long time lurker, new time poster so please be kind .

    I have just acquired a D4D Prado Grande. It is near showroom new in condition, 59,000km with all the standard stuff + a gen Toyota bullbar, front spotlights etc, never been off road and most of it's K's were via a run from Melbourne Albury once in a while or to Qld every few years. Sadly it was my fathers car who passed away and as he loved this thing I would like to keep it and change a few things with a bit of light to moderate off road with my kids but nothing that will trash it. All that aside, from a confirmed speed demon more accustomed to 6.2 litres and around 400kw under the bonnet, I like it

    Now I have a few questions:

    1/ I have read a fair amount on this forum and around regarding the OE injectors - How do I actually diagnose if they are leaking or not? I'm probably going to put in a DP Chip at some stage but want to be re-assured the injectors are ok first
    2/ Will the gen Bull bar take a winch or if not, which is the best to get? I'm don't particularly like the bar that is on it so I'm probably more disposed to getting something else.
    3/ How do I lift it whilst keeping the ride height thing working with the bags? Can I just put spacers in there or what?

    Thanks for all the help guys - looking forward to this new direction

    Hello Red Hot Mike, and sorry for the loss of your father, and I can only imagine your father would be pleased for you to use his Prado...I know I would want my kids to use and enjoy my Prado anyway.
    To provide some responses, it would be useful to have some more details on the vehicle, year, auto/manual, etc, etc.

      I think dad was a member of this forum but no idea what his username would have been.

      I'm Leaning towards a MCC 707-01 Tripple Loop winch bar but open to suggestion.

          Hi Piggy,

          Could have been a few but most likely [email protected]. Many thanks for your offer.
