You have made a good choice, it's now a game of Patience & sit out the wait.
With a bit of luck you will have it for Easter.

G'day Jimi ... and welcome to Pradopoint.

Hope you find the forum as useful as I have.

These guys have done some great mods and posted pics and how-to's .... if you like to get your hands dirty doing some of your own mods is an awesome way to get to know your Prado. :lol:

We spent Sunday in your backyard .. at Lancelin.
You'll have to come and join us next time.

Cheers
Chippy

Yeah I would like to do mods myself as I am a mechanic but I work away and sometimes it is hard getting the time with a young family and all that stuff. I have family in Lancelin so we do go up there a fair bit

Hi everybody

Firts I'll introduce myself, My name is Roberto R Carrillo, From Quito Ecuador, I Live in Quito, but, I work for a oil company at the ecuadorian jungle, I drove 4WD vehicle since I was 12 Y.O., maybe, no body knows about my country, well... I'll gonna talk about it, Ecuador is a small country in south america, we've 256,370 sq Km, officially we speak spanish, however, every body need to speak english because, ecuadorian economy runs around the oil bussines, and tourism, our official money is the US dollar since 1999, Ecuador has three main geographic regions, plus an insular region, La Sierra ("the highlands") is the high-altitude belt running north to south along the center of the country, its mountainous terrain, dominated by the Andes mountain range.
El Oriente ("the east") comprises the Amazon rainforest areas in the eastern part of the country, accounting for just under half of the country's total surface area, though populated by under 5 percent of the population.
The Región Insular is the region comprising the Galápagos Islands, some 1,000 kilometers (620 mi) west of the mainland in the Pacific Ocean.

our economy, Ecuador has substantial petroleum resources and rich agricultural areas. Because the country exports primary products such as oil, bananas, flowers and shrimp

Well, now I'll gonna talk my prado: Year 2005, color sand, engine 3RZ-FE 2.7 l, with ecuadorian bull bar, tyre, Dunplo Grand trek 255/70/16 AT2, ligth fog Hella 1000W, no more.... but, I want to fit a nice suspension, diff locker, snorkel, winch...

G'day Adam, and welcome to PP.

I reckon you'll find it a great place to ask questions, get answers and kill a lot of spare hours ... that you could have used to be out 4 wheel driving :lol: :lol: :lol:

G'day All,

I just signed in to Prado Point today. As yet I am not a Prado owner, but that's not my fault (delivery delay :x ), apparently due to popularity!

I ordered my new toy back in Oct '07, and was originally told expect it for a Christmas present. Christmas has now been and gone and have now been told expect it for Easter.

I'll beleive it when I'm driving it.

My P&J is going to be a black 2008 Prado GXL T/Diesel auto.

Cheers,
AJ
