good to see all the new guys joining and introducing yourselves, don't forget to put your location in so we know where you are, might help with advice if someone is local to you.

Now that you have introduced yourselves, don't be shy, join in the discussions. After all its the people on the forum that make it what it is.

Cheers Andrew

Welcome Barnsey, what a way to settle into your car!

Ps hope u didn't pay for those sidesteps as last time I looked they were factory std.

[barnesy01 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close barnesy01]

Thanks Hutch, didn't pay for them, just see lots around without them, thought they came as an extra with the Altitude Pack.
Love my new work truck.

Welcome to all the new comers, I have been on here for a few months now and there is no shortage of info on here, anything you want to know about a prado you can find it on here, and if it ain't on here then it aint worth knowing. Check out some of the rig builds for ideas and inspiration to mod your truck to go anywhere and everywhere.

Cheers Matt & Caite.

Hi Guys, Josh here, I've been lurking on the site for months and thought I better say G'day! The site has been a great wealth of knowledge and ideas, it has also proved to be a great time waster, when I should be doing something else (like now!) After much research looking at Hilux's & 120's, in August I settled on a 2009 GXL Prado and haven't looked back. It was a very stock 150 but it now has a dual battery system, ARB winch bar, front recovery points, Rhino platform rack and a toyota towbar, snorkel goes on tomorrow. When I get a chance I will fit the redacr remote brake control unit, simocco UHF, ARB compressor and a seperate power outlet for the GPS. Still need to sort out some seat covers, floor mats, driving lights, tyres and a 50 mm lift. I'm setting it up for touring and some family friendly 4 wding. I loved my old hilux, but I love the Prado more, it's great to drive and a pleasure to accessorise. Thanks for a great forum, so many awesome ideas and builds

cheers

hi all, my name is jayden and i live northern suburbs of perth, wa.

only really new to the forum since i ordered my D4D GXL just over a month ago.
what an amazing forum with so much info i'm still finding new stuff every day i look.

im not gonna be a hardcore 4x4 but expect the new prado to take me to remote places up and down the west coast.
that being said, i will get a few extra's - bullbar, lights, chip - the chip is the biggest thing i'm looking fwd to as the diesel is a slug. might get an exhaust too.

the bullbar decision ARB vs TJM is a hard call, which i'm yet to make.

well thanks guys

cheers

G'day Jayden I'm north of the river as well, if you want to see a TJM bar in the flesh just shout. My car is at joondalup most of the week. Me and friends tend to head up and around two rocks every now and then through summer for a fish, swim and bit of a play if your ever keen. Enjoy your new beast.
