Hi all,

what a great site. Have been keeping a close watch on this site for some time and finally (after years trying to convince the financial controller) have just ordered a new D4D. Pick up in a couple of weeks. Cant wait!
Have it booked in for a couple of extras at ARB too (Bull bar / CB).

We're looking for a couple of nice day trips initially to get the feel. We're based in the Blue Mountains and was thinking out the back of Kanangra (Cowmung / Tuglow Caves etc) might be the go. Any other suggestions

Re: Just took the plunge on new GXL D4D - yippee

Hi guys,
Just did the same and after years of consideration finally got the "treasurer" of the family to agree to invest in a proper 4WD. So in mid Sept10 will be picking up my new Prado 150 GXL 3.0Lt Auto Turbo Diesel.

As I am a complete novice (yes I have a Honda CRV but that isn't a proper 4WD) would appreciate your advice.

Like you, am looking to put some accessories on:
*Deluxe Bull bar
*Tow Bar
*Snorkel
*Dual Battery
*Undercarriage protection

Is there any difference between ARB & TJM?

Cheers

Congrats fellas, you'll spend many hours on great tracks with a great vehicle, and many more working out how you can get the money to make it an even better vehicle
