I fitted one of ozbush's manual mapper with improved MAF unit. Yet to install full EGR blank plate but may try this afternoon to install. Removed my old IPF 900 s spots that I had on the bullbar. They had started to rust quite badly both inside and out which is dissapointing as they are reasonably expensive to buy. I am going to refurb tham and possibly put in 130w halogen globes. I test fitted some 9" 55Watt HID spots that I got for a very cheap price off eBay. So far so good but they are massive and I can just get them to fit on the bullbar by removing part of the mounting base. They give off a very blue light in daytime, I will give them a run tonight to see how they perform after dark. It may be wishful thinking, but the Prado seems to be running better after the ozbush mapper and the MAF upgrade. I have it set to -5 and the car seems to be quieter and actually running better. I can only assume that the new MAF unit is giving immediate measurable results. I will plug it in to techstream to see if there is any obvious change on the engine data sheet. Great service from Young at Ozbush, ordered Mon pm, posted Tues am, recieved Wed pm, installed in 10 mins Thurs am. - got to be happy with that. Bought a bulk load of 2 b&s tinned copper cable from eBay. Sellers were upgrading their 10m catamaran to lithium ion batteries so sold off all the surplus existing tinned marine cable. Will be using on the Prado for the dual battery set up and running power from aux to back of Prado and tow bar.

Installed a BlackVue DR650S-1CH Dashcam yesterday. It came with a bonus BlackVue Power Magic Pro which when wired up provides power to the unit when parked up and will isolate should the battery voltage drop to a preset level. I wont be using this however as I am running off my 2nd battery which will drain bugger all.
Nice little Cam with built in GPS & WiFi to iPhone or Cloud. Just need to get a bigger micro SD card as it only comes with a 16GB. probably chuck in a 64GB for now...2004 V6 Grande. BLACK -

I've installed a couple myself, and have a mate who has a couple that get used on an industrial scale on mine sites.
I do know that people have had problems with the gearbox seizing because it's been taken off to be spun and not sealed up properly again.
I can understand your trepidation, but my personal experiences have been positive.
The installer is ME. Careful of what you say without all the facts.

What can an installer do to make wires ' fall off'. Also what could i do to make the manufacturer put a little square of clear plastic as insulation. How could i make a gearbox not freespool or the brake not work. I must have taken the buttons on the remote and changed them.
What part of difficult customer service did i do. I'm the one who had to drive back and forth to their shop.
Be my guest and buy one and i'll come and get you with the Warn Zeon.
I posted this so others could look objectively at what they are buying, not to be insulted.

Really.
And don't be such a snowflake, I wasn't trying to offend, so if you're offended by my reply, that's your problem, not mine.

Probably easiest way to set it up is get 2 "Fuse Taps" from Ebay and plug it in to the fuse box (accessories and a constant 12v), and the earth i attached to a bolt at the top of the kick panel right near the fuse box.
As for what i done to the 120 today, added a bonnet protector and an exhaust tip to angle the new 3" down and away from the bumper to stop the soot.2007 120 GXL D4D 6sp Man - My Rig https://www.pradopoint.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24945&d=1487341201

My dash cam is plugged in to one of a couple of cig plugs I have hidden inside the kick panel near said fuse box supplying power for a number of accessories including TPMS & IPad, which is feed via a fused circuit off my aux batt so it is permanently energised and ready to record any parking event whereas the power magic pro will cut out should a preset voltage be reached or the power on timer (adjustable) expires. The dash cam automatically switches from normal mode to parking mode when the vehicle is stationary for 5 minutes.

Neighbour has a fibreglass cruiser, with big Mercruiser inboard, similar to that and tows with his 150. He got a new trailer as the old one was under rated for the boat. Turns out the boat weighs more than 3 tonnes.Dave
