  • Quick Advise Needed

    I am picking up a 2007 3 Door Prado VX tomorrow. Is there anything I should be looking out for? I went under the car to look for any possible 4x4-related damage, there wasn't any. What I found surprising is the lack of any undercarriage protection, except for under the engine? Any other thoughts on this particular model?

    Already purchased the car. Done two tests, one at Toyota and one at the Government's testing facility, nothing turned up and I am a happy camper, time to start modding!

        Thanks. To be completed before the end of the month and the family's return from vacation:

        - Replace the horn with Bosch unit
        - Replace OEM stereo with DVD unit (no navigation)
        - Install rear fog light modification (from Pradopoint site)
        - Install Tow hitch (hopefully able to modify it somehow to keep the fuel tank armor)

        Planned for later in year:

        - OME lift kit
        - Cooper tires (SST - need to research more to find out how loud they are on the road)
        - Sliders (if able to source them or manufacture them
        - Replace OEM speakers
        - Dual battery (but only if I can install it myself)

        Looking positive to enjoying this car and the V6 power which is a lot stronger than my 2001 Prado V6. Still not sure whether I have the more powerful V6 given that mine was made in March of 2007.

        Just noticed that the title should have read Advice :wink:

        Cheers.
