""Only just learnt the difference between 65's and 70's recently, or they would already be on!"" ???? Except the rolling diameter what's the big difference ???..... Cheers Steve

Around 13mm extra ground clearance on a new set of tyres is the diff between 65's and 70's. Well worth considering.

Dmines sounds like you are well on the way, not much on the wishlist but being a member here will fix that! Don't worry about the speedo that is how they were. If you want chapter and verse there are a few threads discussing this in wheels and tyres in the 120 section.

Hi all,

I am based in Perth WA and have been driving 4WDs for over 40 years.

Just purchased a new Prado GXL Diesel Auto with bull bar, tow bar, all weather mats, 6 year toyota warranty and UV tinted windows.

Now have to sell the old chariot.

Looking forward to participating in this forum.

Will fit inbuilt GPS, UHF, Spot lights (LED), roof bars, awning, dual battery and a winch (maybe).

Most of its use will be city/county driving with regular fishing and camping trips into remote areas.

Welcome Welcome Welcome, another one to add to the V6 contingency, GO the mighty V6!

You will no doubt spend hours like the rest of us scrolling throught pages and pages of info, some of it useful and some humourous but rest asured that there is almost everything you will want to know about your prado on here, finding it is just part of the fun.

Hi mjrandom, You're right about the wishlist (add kaymar spare tyre mount and LED worklight) thanks i'll check out those threads. Not really worried about the tyres/speedo - keeps me off the speed gun radar without even trying! - certainly the first vehicle I've owned that's done it.
