      Nice forum.

      Lots of information on the LCOOL mailing lists, but a web forum is much easier to use and keep track of messages. I hope the number of people using it grows fast. Might be worthwhile posting on all of the currently known Prado sites/sources.

      Anyhow, my vehicle.............

      Model: 95 series V6 petrol
      Year: 2000
      Colour: Grey/Blue
      Accessories: ARB front bar, OME 2" lift suspension, Safari snorkle, Rear air-locker, Rear storage drawers, Engel fridge, PDA & GPS, Cooper STT tyres, raised diff breathers, upgraded stero.
      Wishlist: Recaro driving seat or similar, The fuel economy of the turbo diesel off road, but with the power of my petrol.

        That's a nice setup! I'll ask you about the OME suspension in the suspension forum.

        I'm in the process of posting to the resource sites I know of. If you are a member of any, please feel free to add a link back to here.

        Glad to have you on board.

        Cheers,
        Aaron

                          Time for me to go and get a few accessories to keep up with you all

                          pcm_120 - is your bar colour coded? It looks like it is in the shot. It's a great looking rig.
