  • Hi everyone,

    I have been lurking for a while so I thought it best to introduce myself.

    I have had my Prado since the start of the year I have previously owned a D22 Navara, GQ Coil Cab and my last set of wheels was a Skoda Fabia RS. I needed something to tow a float, fit two large dogs and to hold all my climbing gear

    Model: 120 GXL D4D

    Year: 2008

    Colour: Silver

    Accessories: TJM Bull bar, TJM scrub bars & Steps, Ox 9500lbs Winch, Kaymar Rear Bar, MT ATZ P3's, Brown Davis underbody guards, 3" Exhaust, Uni Filter, TJM 2" Suspension lift, LED interior lights, GME UHF, GME external FM/AM antenna, TJM Snorkel, MSA Seat Covers, Sand grabber mats, MSA Air lumbar support, Redarc Tow Pro Elite, electronic rust protection, ARB Air compressor on AMTS bracket, AMTS rear wheel spacer, AMTS shift kit repair, baileys injectors and probably some other gear I'm forgetting.

    Wishlist: MSA explorer drawers and barrier (on order), EGR blank (on todo list), dual battery system, Front Runner roof rack, HID Spotlights, LED light bar, LED work lights, second fuel filter, wheel and jerry carriers for the rear bar, trek table, MSA drop slide, scan gauge, awning, lockers, new head unit, synthetic winch rope and a new style TJM Bar.

    Cheers,
    Mitch.

      • Gday Prado'ers, currently own an FJ Cruiser with a list of mods as long as my arm, we love the FJ and we will be very sorry to see it go, but we've got a 4th bun in the oven so the decision to move to a prado has pretty much been made for us! Currently looking at a 2010 GXL TD with tough dog suspension, airbags in the rear, colour coded deluxe ARB bullbar, snorkie and a uhf. It's done 80000kms more than the FJ but I think we'll get out of the FJ and into the prado without too much changeover so I'm pretty happy with that. The prado also looks like it could be an ex-miner but it's in pretty good nick as far as I can tell, we tow a camper fairly regularly and spend ALOT of time in the bush on weekend so I'm looking forward to the economy improvement! I did most of the mods on the FJ myself so I'm looking forward to turning a few spanners again on the Prado too. Good looking forum here! Hopefully I can contribute in some manner. Cheers!

        • Howdy folks,
          I've been looking for a vehicle that can serve as family wagon, and double as a getaway vehicle for some adventures. It's more than I thought I'd go for, and prob more than I need. Wife is concerned but she'll come around. I'm really excited to get into it and have ordered an ISI bike rack for some remote and holiday mtb oppprtunities, how sweet. In summary, rank amateur looking to move to beginner level in near future. I haven't even received it yet.

          Model: GXL TD auto
          Year: 2016
          Colour: Graphite
          Accessories: Towbar - woot
          Wishlist: Works burger but need to win the wife over bit by bit

          Also wanted to say I've been watching for a while and the vibe of some forums isn't good, and I'm glad to see that's not the case here. Thanks for all previous posters for sharing the passion and the knowledge & see you in the forums! With hopefully not too many dopey questions. Be kind, as they say there are no stupid questions...

                  • Thanks Ian, another quick question, I can't get the lock thing off the spare wheel, I'm assuming it's the key that pops out the bottom of the remote. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but key only goes half way in and I can't get it off. If I can manage to remove it I will be leaving it off. Is that the right key to use or I going to have to attack it with the die grinder.
                    TIA

                    • Hi all,

                      New to the forum and almost a first time Prado owner. Have signed on a new Kakadu now struggling to wait for it to arrive. Looking forward to a long and reliable relationship with this vehicle, the last was difficult.

                      Cheers

                        Hi ryzee.
                        Yeah the metal key from the fob should unlock the locking nut on the spare. It doesnt go all the way in, so if it wont release i would squirt some WD40 into it.
                        Cheers

                          • Thanks Ian, got it with the wd40, wasn't sure about using any sprays thought it could make dust get stuck in there and make it worse in the long run.
