G'day Con and welcome along. This place is really addictive and, if you're into doing some of your own mods on your Prado, is an absolute gold mine of tips and tricks.

Enjoy.

Cheers
Chippy

Hello to you all,

My name is Daan, married with Angelique and we have a little daughter Megan , allmost 7. We live in a small village in the crowded Netherlands.
We just traded in our Subaru WRX for a LandCruiser 120VX 3.0D, or the Prado as they call it on the other side of the planet, getting delivered next week.
We planned a 1 month trip to Morocco next year, and Norhtern Russia or Iceland the year after.
Allready planning and buying some (un)usefull things and modifications for our trips, like: 4WD training, Extra battery, compressor, AT tyres, roofbars with Hannibal rooftent, small liftkit, .......
Will be needing some advice from you regarding campworthy making of the Prado. The Prado is not so common as the Defender for example here in Europe.

Cheers,

Daan

Welcome Daan, I'm sure you will find lots of assistance from here for your modifications.

With a little help you could end up with one of these.....

Hi everyone!

I'm from Spain and I own a VX auto bought in 2005. I've been reading you for quite a long time, learning a lot of course.

I've been quite active participating in a Forum very similar to this, foro.kdjoteros.com, till I find this pradopoint.

Some modifications in place: BF 265/70, Lovells springs, On Board Air system, dual battery setup, rock sliders, roof 12" DVD monitor, park assist, and some others...

It's a real pleasure being around.

Thanks for the welcome!

The Arctic versions are great. 8)

We will pick it up Saturday, I will make some pictures.
Some extra's have been installed already: Alarm, Park Distance Control, Tow hook, Webasto stand heater with timer and remote control. It is still on Michelin LTX M&S tyres but will put it on 265/70 AT tyres later on.

Kind regards,

Daan

Hello Daan

Onthaal aan Pradopoint. Ik ben zeker u het een zeer nuttige plaats zult vinden. Verwacht al mijn reacties niet om in het Netherlands te zijn aangezien ik geen woord van het begrijp maar mijn vrouw.

Cheers
Chippy

Hello Chippy and Mrs. Chippy,

Thanks for the warm welcome in Dutch, I feel at home right away!
When you are ever planning a trip to the Netherlands you're welcome.

Cheers,

Daan

Do I qualify?

I don't own a Prado, but have just ordered one to replace a '97 Pajero. Nearly bought a Discovery, but too many bad reports. The vehicle we've ordered is
Prado Grande D4d auto; crystal pearl
Tow bar, allow bull bar.
delivery: Feb/March 2008!

Anyone got ant recommendations on good general purpose driving lights? Also interested to hear reports on the usefulness of the grande adjustable shocks. :idea:
