Re: Introductions

Hi all,

very avid reader of these forums, luv them been reading them for about 6 months.

With the help of this site, so far installed uhf GME TX3440, water tank behind second fuel tank, cargo drawer system, fold down table.

Originally from Cairns, now based in Weipa. Visit Cairns fairly often as all the family there, would like to do join in one of the trips you guys do, they sound awesome.

Had Prado since it was a pup (7km old) in '06. Cannot fault the vehicle love em to death. You know there good when you see heaps of them up here in the north - unstoppable.

anyway hope to contribute more, see you all round.

welcome to all the new guys and especially those fnq lads...

we would be stoked to see some of you on some of our trips...

Welcome Alchemist
follow the track that starts at the anchorage caravan park and try to follow the track with river on left hand side until you hit the large flat rock . I have had a lot of success fishing off those rocks and each time not a sole in sight - very peaceful

Re: Introductions

Hi there, I'm Jim and I'm up for my first Prado and have a budget of $25k to spend on a GXL Turbo Diesel Manual. Could anyone point me towards a resource where I can find out what goodies I get on which models for which year? I drove all the way to Falcon from Perth to see one which had manual windows which, for instance, is a show stopper for me.
I'm currently driving a Hilux btw. Jim

Re: Introductions

Hi everyone.

With our impending sea change from Gladstone to Cairns coming up we thought it was time to upgrade our X-trail. So on Monday we pick up our 2006 4.0L GXL. Was lucky enough to find one that already had most things I wanted to do to it already done, which includes:
2” lift
Bullbar
Snorkel
Electric brakes
Dual batteries
Ipf spotties
The only thing left for me to do for now is install my UHF which will probably go in a roof console (and possibly a Dig-Options TP09X1 gps), although I am sure there will be other things that come to mind.

Will post pics once I have the Prado..

Cheers,
Rob & Deb

Welcome to all the newbies

Looks like we even have a Mitsi owner to pick on... :twisted:

Just kidding Dylan, welcome to PP. Nice Triton, I owned one myself once (Prevous shape V6).

Re: Introductions

Hey There!

I've been trying to join for a while now, not sure why but my other email address wasn't recognised and my account never got enabled. Tried with my new email and same day it worked

Anyways we bought this:



brand new a month ago and already put on 4000kms! It's a D4D auto with factory bar and tow bar.

Thanks to this forum, I organised a set up sandgrabba mats and a set of canvas seat covers. Few little mods will follow:

- beam underbody rust protection (non sticky spray)
- sealing all electrical connection below 0.6m (beam do it and i'm pretty sure they use bees wax or something similar, works great!)
- diff + tranny breathers
- compressor
- arb deluxe alloy roof rack
- 2nd spare (btw anyone knows if i can use a steelie on a gxl if 3 others are alloys in an emergency?? I'm thinking different weights, would that cause an issue?)
- some better offroad tyres (mind you, this car will be performing 85% soccer mum duties and 15% dad's fun stuff)

Welcome along pjorek.

I've got a 17x7.5 steelie as an extra spare for my longer trips.

I don't think weight is an issue ... rather that the that the rolling diameter is the same (or close).

I'm using an old Kelly Safari in a 265/70/17 as aa extra spare to match the 265/70/17 BFGs on the car.

Cheers
Chippy
