Re: Anyone bought a ZR yet?

We have bought a ZR. We have only done 100km in it, but the signs are good. It is comfortable and suits the two of use. We intend to tow a camper trailer, so we don't need the third row of seats, not even the second. It certainly has performed well in the small amount of bush we have seen. Cheers eagerlearners

Re: Anyone bought a ZR yet?

Good to see there are a few shorty's already ou there. I have not seen any on the road yet.

When I ordered mine in December I was told to expect a mid Feb delivery, but I have only just finally recieved the password to track my order online and it says that a production date has not even been scheduled yet! Looks like I am in for a bit of a wait.

Re: Anyone bought a ZR yet?

I have heard many say that there is a fair wait but FYI, I ordered my Ebony SX two weeks ago and took delivery last Wednesday, lasted 2 hours all shiny before it was covered in mud, have done 500km already - 300km off road.

Re: New ZR Prado

It looks like no-one is buying the 3 door Prado, so I went out today to help Toyota with their figures. After a bit (LOT) of negotiating, I finally managed to get a good price and a good trade for my NS Pajero.

Should be due late January to mid February.

Hi Walker

I am guessing you have been driving it for a few weeks now, are you able to give us a report on what you have found (Good and Bad) and compared to teh Paj Shorty you came from?

Had a closer look at one of these yesterday at the car yard. They look funny up close because they're so short. Would be interested to see how they handle off-road.

I WISH!! I orderd back in December and at the moment I am being told mid April delivery. Which reminds me, I need to check my paperwork to make sure I have a fixed price on the trade-in.....it better be.

Re: Anyone bought a ZR yet?

Yes I have test driven one> Walker < hoping to get it late may early June
It's nice to drive and am getting it on road (SX) for 55 K with a few extra's
If they had more stock you could go in harder I guess, regards drecked

Re: Anyone bought a ZR yet?

I drove past Macquarie 4x4 [ARBdealer]at Windsor nsw today and notice that they have a new charcoal 3dr ZR company car which is set up with a new ARB bullbar similar to the sahara bar but with out any pipe loops looked smart and also appeared to have a suspension lift.It was 1 good looking car but i did not have time to stop for a good look,next time

Re: Anyone bought a ZR yet?

I bought a Silver ZR two days ago. I'm not certain of the delivery date but was told that it should already be in the country. I too will tell the rig build story as it happens.

So far I have the genuine;
Towbar
Roof rack
Headlight and bonnet protectors
Front and rear rubber mats.

Other bits and pieces will be;
Darkest legal window tint
ARB combo bar
OME suspension
Winch
Dual battery
17" wheels.

The standard 18" wheels are an issue. Living in QLD, we're only allowed an increase in overall diameter of 15mm. The choice of "legal" rubber in 18" is narrow so I'm keen to source 17" wheels. Not sure of what is available that will fit the ZR. Any ideas?

Re: Anyone bought a ZR yet?

I just bought one and couldn't be happier, goes well, we only have one kid so didn't really need the extra room
and thought at the same price as a wagon gxl why not have a bit of luxury
. So far have fitted an arb sahara bar, dual battery, ipf super rally lights
and car is currently at kaymar getting a rear bar designed and made.
Should get it back in a aprox a week. We are designing bash plates and tow hooks next.
Hope fully two to three weeks away.

Re: Anyone bought a ZR yet?

That's awsome mate ^^^^
Love the colour coded ARB bar on the 150's
So conflicted right now as to get a GXL or a ZR. Both have their good and bad points.
