              • Hi all. I just picked up my first Prado. Wanting to know more about it i stumbled across this forum and am really impressed with the knowledge base.

                2007
                120 series
                GX ( why a GX everyone asks. Well i want a good basic base to build on, not really a wood trim and leather seat type of guy for somthing im going to cover in sand and mud)
                3.0 turbo diesel
                33" achellies mud tyres
                Aftermarket dents in door


                Wish list
                locate missing drivers side door speaker
                Finish working out the gremlins and nasty injector death rattle

                • Welcome Satraver. Make sure it's had the injector seats replaced under the free Toyota service notice - they should have a record of it. If it hasn't been done, it's a good time to get some new or reco'd injectors done at the same time, as you save a bit on labor charges (most dealerships will only charge for calibrating the new injectors, if you supply them, since Toyota covers the injector seat labor). This forum is almost too much information now - you will lose many days researching on here.

                  • Hi All,

                    I've had my Prado for a few weeks now and this forum has been a huge help. But have been stumped in my search of paint colour for my mud flaps and side steps. I have a 2003 120 silver Grande (color code 1D4) but the side steps have a dark grey / bronze colour and I cannot find a code for it anywhere. There is a trim colour on the build plate but I think that is for the interior. Click image for larger version

                    Regards

                      • Hi guys,
                        Name is Stuart. Wanted a Prado for a while now, so took the plunge and picking one up on Thursday.
                        It will be more of a daily than anything else, won't be towing anything like that so went for an Auto Graphite 2010 GXL petrol with low mileage.
                        It seems to be in good condition and was well looked after with no accessories…. yet .

                        • Gday guys.

                          Back to Prado after a bit of a deviation to FJ Cruiser and Patrol (facepalm!). Had a 2003 TD which was on its last legs. Sold it and got an FJ which was awesome, especially offroad, but the kids were getting a bit big for the long trips. Too tempting to stare at DVD players and not look out the window. Got to say, the FJ cruiser forum is just fantastic too. Sold that and got a Patrol for a bargain, which I kept for a while before I found a buyer - first time I've made good money on a car! I had the Patrol for 6 months and did not really like it, like driving a tractor and gutless as despite being chipped with big exhaust etc.

                          I've just brought a 2006 V6 with 130Ks for a steal, perfect for what I want, including a few scratches on it - there will be more ;-) Looks like its spent its 1 owner life on the tarmac.

                          Getting a single DIN bluetooth stereo and UHF fitted next week. Considered digoptions unit but the last one I had drove me mental - could not even see the screen during the day even with brightness turned right up.

                          Really interested in anyones suggestions on 2inch lift kit installation in Perth (south of the river preferably). Also, has anyone found a good single drawer setup? would like to keep half of the rear for good storage capacity and occasional use of rear seat.

                          cheers guys, looking forward to reading the forum again

                          • Hi, I'm Mike. I just traded a Petrol 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a Diesel 2013 Prado. Mechanic said it's the best decision I ever made. I hope so.

                            Model: GXL
                            Year: 2013
                            Colour: Silver
                            Accessories: Tow Bar, GME TX3350S
                            Wishlist: Dual Battery, Bullbar (TJM Explorer?), Winch (TJM/Runva/RoadRunner/Ironman?), Tyres (tbd), Suspension Upgrade (tbd), Rhino Track Roof Rails, ORS Drawers, Reverse Floodlights.

                            I plan to do most of the improvement work myself.

                            • are you sure about the winch? had them on 2 cars only because they came with them. Only time I used them was when I sold the cars, to show that they worked. Lot of weight and a lot of $$... Unless you are planning on doing some full on rock climbing I reckon they are a waste of time, lets see what others think

                              • Yep I'm with you on that one Safari2, if you get stuck I'm pretty sure one of your mates will have one to pull you out. Let them spend the big bucks.
