It is perfectly normal Gaz, ignore the wife like the rest of us.
I'd love to do the CSR sometime in the next couple of years.
I think I'll be going to get dirty again next weekend. Getting new tyres on next Friday and they just need to be tested 😬 the wife will be away for a week and that's totally not why I'm getting the tyres on while she's away haha 😇

Hi all!

Another new member here!

Just purchased my first Prado and in fact my first 4x4 ever! I have always been a Jap/RWD/Turbocharged kinda guy back home in the UK and used to work as a tuner at a well known UK based Toyota Specialist but since moving here I found out there are much better toys

Great forum here and a wealth of info for new-comers like myself!

Real name is Ross, 27, Married + 2 boys (and one on the way!) Looking forward to meeting some of you soon


My Prado:
Model: 150 series Kakadu
Year: 2010
Colour: White

Accessories:
Towbar

Wishlist:
Huge, but must adhere to the wife's spending limits!

Welcome Kieron, just a warning before you read on any further. Participating in this forum will cause your pockets to become very very empty
Cheers Matt

Cheers Matt and thanks for the heads up.
The wish list for the Prado is already growing lol

Another newbie to the forum,

I'm just in the initial stages of buying my first Prado, I'm looking at getting a 2014 GXL D4D auto in white at this stage, deposit should go down shortly then the wait. My first auto so hoping it lives up to expectations.

Cheers

hello,

Chris here, with wife Rinai.

We are new to Prado's having just recently upgraded our 1st 4wd.... a 1985 Suzuki Sierra Hardtop ( with mods )! the Prado is a stock standard white... surprise surprise... 2010 150 Petrol ( couldn't stretch the budget to a diesel plus ours only has 87k on the clock ). so far we are stoked with it, even the fuel consumption isn't that bad ( was a little worried but it really isn't that bad plus but having owned a few turbo Subarus we are used to 12-14L per 100 ). future plans are the usual front bar ( ARB ), lights ( waiting in the shed ), maybe a small lift, tow bar and eventually bigger better tyres. immediate plans are floor mats and rear cargo mat. anyways, wont be posting much but will be reading heaps

cheers
Chris

Hi

Been living in Australia since July 2013 and just bought my 2008 GX D4-D 120 series. High mileage but looks well looked after. It's totally bog standard at present but have lots of plans for it. I'm an aluminium Welder, fabricator and CNC Machinist by trade so first on the list is a bespoke bull bar and roof rack tray.... looking forward to gaining some useful knowledge from this awesome forum! ☺
