  • Hi all
    Just purchased a 2013 SX 3 door. Certainly a bit different to the old Rodeo. Hope to use it for many a year to tow our 12' off-road van around the country. Currently has ECB bullbar, UHF and airbag helpers on the back. I will no doubt want to pick people's brains about suspension sometime in the future.
    cheers

      • Welcome guys. @suitcase - sounds like it's already well set up for towing with airbags. Lifting is pretty easy too - watch out for group buys. @agsryd - I like the Fortuner too, but give me a 150L fuel tank any day.

        • G'day Everyone.
          My name is Jon my wife is Danielle and our 7yo son is Zack. We live on the NSW Central Coast. I upgraded a 2007 AWD Kluger to a 2017 Prado so we could get more adventurous with our 4WDing. We do a bit of driving and camping in our Ezytrail Tarwin camper trailer around the Central Coast and Hunter Valley areas. We are doing a trip back to my hometown Broken Hill at Christmas it should be fun heaps of good tracks to play on. I look forward to sharing and learning a few ideas and information with other forum members.
          Cheers Jon.

              • Greetings all.

                New to Australia, WA, and Prado. Excited to get out and explore, and probably fix things.

                Model: GXL Diesel
                Year: 2013 (MY14)
                Colour: White...

                    Hi myPrado 150 was made in 2012, and before this was porsche cayenne turbo made in 2007 and I can say that the new machine is much better and less likely to break. Very cool of course gift to his son, probably he is a fine fellow), I can advise you only what is better to take with 4 doors, since it will be easier, but I think you will make the right choice. With regard to insurance, I have been working as an insurance broker for many years and I can advise you to read this site. Http: //www.cheapautoinsurance.com/ How much I would not look for different sites, on this you will find the most current insurance and information about them.
                    And yes I think you can take his car =)
                    Good luck!

                      • I recently joined the Prado clan having come from a Subaru outback.
                        I picked up a late 2004 5sp auto pearly white VX 120 series.
                        It came with a sovereign bar and big roof basket but was otherwise stock.
                        So far, I got an Android deck installed with a reversing camera, and had it serviced.
                        I'll need to look at tyres and suspension soon, and a stack of other stuff to help get me off the road.

                        Cheers

                        • Hi my name is Pete and I live in southern Tasmania and I have owned my Prado for about 18 months now, it has always been meticulously maintained and I have now decided to start upgrading the suspension.
                          I have been reading on this forum for a while now and it has been a wealth of information so I thought I better introduce myself.
                          This is my Prado:
                          Model: VX
                          Year: 2001
                          Colour: white
                          Accessories pretty much stock
                          Wishlist: Bull Bar, Suspension lift, snorkel

                          • G'day,
                            I've just joined PradoPoint but been on lcool for several years. I've owned a 94 Hilux Surf and a factory TD 100 series, and after an unpleasant experience with another brand, have just paid a deposit on a 2014 GXL D4D Prado with a great set up. Looking forward to learning from the group and sharing mods along the way.
                            Cheers

                            • Hi all!

                              I just bought a 2005 Prado Grande V6, stock, so I'm back to these forums! This is my 5th 4wd and my 2nd Prado. The previous Prado had 2" suspension lift, 2" body lift, home made tube bullbar and sliders and a front locker. This one will be upgraded much slower - I'm not single anymore!

                              • Good day friends !!!

                                I'm a Sri Lankan resident in Dubai !

                                Owned a 120 10 years ago, moved upto V8 Silverado's, Tahoe's and now ... yes now back to a VZJ95 !!

                                Model : VZJ95 VX Manual, Left hand drive
                                Year : 2000
                                Colour : White
                                Mileage : 182,000km

                                Accessories : Car is dead standard except for a DVD system, reverse camera and a tint (much needed hear in UAE!!!).

                                Wish list : Nothing really at the moment except OEM alloy wheels, OEM steering wheel (leather wasted on mine), maybe an OEM diesel hood for better cooling and a body lift at max for 2018. Its a real keeper as 5VZ engines here are dirt cheap and there are plenty of right hand drive prado's here in the wrecking yards for export - so other than a steering rack, all other parts are available freely. Might also think of a V8 swap somewhere down the line, depending on how she performs in the desert.
