I wish I had the room for a hoist, I've been talking to the wife suggesting we move and she knows without me saying it, it's so I can install one...

Yep know that feeling, keep trying mate

No way, not a hoist as well, you don’t live in the Pilbara do you, we could share

Unfortunately mate i'm down on the mid north coast of NSW, if i was up that way you could definitely use it.

Mines a Super hoist plus, it's got a top plate and no floor plate which is great because if you have a roller seat you can roll round with no floor plate getting in the way. Only downside is it's in a 2 car garage so on one side there's not a stack of room. So if you can convince the wife then go for a 3 car shed with the hoist in the middle, and go a bit longer with the length of the shed so there's plenty of room for the car to clear the roller door drum with the Prado raised and allow for a work bench down the front end.

Keep working on the wife, and hopefully you will succeed

Purchased a couple of things from a amayama.com, still getting things at a good price, the trick is to purchase more than one item as it’s a flat rate $15 for shipping, so purchased a drivers footrest and a left and right passenger door outside trim seal, for some reason both of mine are cracked and coming apart.

I added a small high flow muffler to the 4wdsupercentre muffler delete pipe, and the result is way better. The note sounds excellent, it's not too loud and the fuel economy seems to be slightly better but i will need to rack up a few more k's to know for sure.

This is a pic of the supercentre stock muffler and the muffler delete pipe, i didnt take a pic with the hi flow muffler added to the delete pipe but it's about half the size of the stock muffler.

Finally got the shocks and springs fitted up that have been sitting in the corner of the garage waiting for weeks. I used Bilstein BE5-A712 front and BE5-A713 rear shocks and Kings standard KTRS-101 front and KTRS-102 rear springs.

I added the heights from the original 2007 OEM suspension before and after.

Also added a picture of the muffler i added in to the 4wdsupercentre muffler delete pipe the other day, it's a D819MN Redback universal - 8" X 5" OVAL - 12" LONG 3" Megaflow. The note and sound level i find is perfect.
