It looks like I'm going to need a Tech day. Whose in?? Big-Trev, Gramps, anyone else? If we take 2 things each from the list we'll be done no worries...

Ready yet, huh? I'll probably leave that till the last minute just like all my trips ;-) I'll be roughing it with a tent and esky. Can't afford a camper when I have to fill this thing with 98 all the time! Speaking of which, I'm a little concerned about fuel supplies :-/ Where's the best premium 98 petrol to Talbotville?glen_ep - engineered, 4" lift, 33" 255/85R16, lockers, 4.88 ratios www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?17237 www.youtube.com/user/glenep www.fb.com/groups/ToyotaPrado90

Hope we have finished the GTG buy up.
If it were a competition I think I'm winning
Lets see, the list so far:
New Lift kit(thanks Anthony)
2 new tyres, next week.
New matress for old camper. (hope it fits in new one)
New camper trailer, picking up Friday (old camper will be up for sale)
Replacement 110 A/hr deep cycle battery(used)
Will now need a new battery charger.
New Technice 45 lt car fridge(arrived last week ordered Jan) and
40lt ice box(just arrived ordered Jan)
New tent for the kids(old one leaked when I used it last week)
Thinking of the coleman instant 4.
Not sure I should have written out the list think it only makes it worse.
Oh well at least we are now set for a long while.
Mind you some underneat protection and a snorkle wouldn't go astray, nor would diff breathers.Chris220220 Finally a Prado owner

Cheers guys,
It'll cope with 91 fuel with it's second map setting, but I'll have to drive differently with the weight - need to avoid low RPM's on ascents, otherwise pinging will occur. Octane booster is a good idea, ta Ben. I might bring a couple just in case. They're pretty expensive though! $20-$30 per 60L to turn 91o into 97o.glen_ep - engineered, 4" lift, 33" 255/85R16, lockers, 4.88 ratios www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?17237 www.youtube.com/user/glenep www.fb.com/groups/ToyotaPrado90

Glen, I have a feeling Dargo may have Premium 95 as well as ULP 91 and Diesel.[SIZE=2]120 GXL D4D Auto, with a 'List of Wants' greater than the 'List of Needs' greater than the 'List of Haves'
