What did you do to your 120 today?

[Killswitch]

Fitted 2x AUX usb ports/volt meters to the Main and Aux batt with a bypass switch. Switch allows the USB ports off the AUX battery to be turned on without the key in the ignition, the whole lot comes on when the key is on ACC or ON. Made up a loom to go with so the panel can be easily disconnected without getting the switch/USB ports jumbled up putting it back together.

Well done. Looks awesome.

Weekend away down through Wellington Dam via the gravel to Glen Mervyn Dam. Always a great spot to camp.

VERY nice, would love to see a mini review with photos of your new 9inch LED lights, are they the 370w Lightways from ebay?

Yes sure are. They are a great unit for the price thats for sure. I replaced my IPF 901 Xtreme Sport Series with these. Sold the IPFs for $150 and got these for $200 with the wiring. The light output is amazing. It has at least tripled over the old IPF lights.

Would recommend. Looking at the Lightway (Sunyee) lightbars now. Though have heard they have in the past got water in them.

When I get a min, I will do some on/off photos and put up a thread.

Preparing for Simpson Trip on the 24th June, since last years trip I have done quite a bit to the car
- Kings Throttle Controller
- Rear Diff Breather
- Extended Front Diff Breather up to bulk head too
- Gear box breather up to bulk head
- transmission breather up to bulk head
- sand flag mount on bull bar - hope it is strong enough
- Drawers (Titan)
- new head unit (Kenwood)
- radiator and thermostat
- refreshed transmission fluid, diff oil, trans oil
- greased up drive line nipples
- driver side wheel bearing
- 130% brighter headlamp bulbs - not bad - certainly better
- 32" light bar (the 22" fell off last year on the corrugations
- 9" illuminator LED lights (These are amazing - especially for the price)

Things i didn't do myself
- Snorkel ( iron man as they were out of Safari - but very happy)
- 4 x Desert Hawk M/T on my spare steel rims

Really the only thing left to do is
- 3" exhaust

2003 5-Speed Manual Petrol V6 4.0Litre - GX Poverty Pack

A vastly improved throttle response, eliminates the lag though the normal pedal range. Basically estimated 10mm of movement now gives full throttle response and a real-world kick in the pants feel to the drive, along with a smile that is hard to stop.

'IF' you didnt know one was fitted, you would easily suspect the engine had been modified, that is how good they are.

Clearly there is more than just shortening the pedal range, there is much more to it but I wont speculate on the science behind it, im just a VERY happy user.

Well I went to 4wdSC today and picked one up to try on my 2004 Grande 3.0 T/Diesel (1KZ-TE Engine)
OMG it is so much fun, it feels like the thing flies - can imagine how much fuel it uses.
4 modes for my automatic with 1 -9 range for each
1. Off (ok no 1-9 here - its just off)
2. Economy 1 has reasonable response and as you get closer to 9 it gets quite unresponsive /slow - essentially stopping you putting too much diesel in i guess
3. Half Auto 1-9
4. Full Auto 1-9 where 9 is really responsive

The HH and FH1-9 settings are for manual gearboxes
Thanks to TCT888 for posting, it was a great buy for $87

Got everything wired up finally last night. New switches in and rear work lights, Stedi Fogs (need to wire up the DRL still) and the 9" LED spotties.

Also replaced the 2 little bungs on the bottom of the centre console lid (no more rattles!) and also added the new organisation tray which came in the mail. Details here:http://www.pradopoint.com.au/showthr...organiser-tray

Nice work luxy, don't forget you can also lock the rear when you're pointing it downhill!!
It greatly reduces the driveline slip when engine braking and a wheel lifts...

For over 20 years, since I got my first car, a hilux, I have always wanted lockers, but never had the money to buy them, or the time wasn't right.
Well yesterday, driving the prado out of my local 4wd mechanics car park, seeing 2 new buttons on the dash that read... FRONT E LOCKER and REAR E LOCKER, it brought a smile to my face 😊 And after I packing the car thismorning, it's off to the High Country I go, my mates will meet up with me tomorrow, and I'm sure I will be able to push those 2 new buttons of mine and finally enjoy the feeling of pure confidence when I point my vehicle up a hill.
Very exciting!!! 😁
