Introductions

[ernestpw]

Hi I am Ernest Live in Auckland New Zealand
1994 Land Cruiser Prado 3L
Just purchased one month ago and had to have a new cylinder head fitted
It is bog standard just fitted a tow bar, boost and temperature guage and also some KC spotlights.
Have a winch and recovery kit
will mainly be used for towing the boat to be able to launch off the beach, hopefully some off road at some stage
the boat is only about 800 kilos all up so she won't have to work too hard

Hi guys and girls.

I've started posting recently after a long time lurking. Thought I should introduce myself too.

I have owned my Prado for 5 months. Coming from an R51 Pathfinder then an NW Pajero, I can say with certainty that the Prado is a the best 4x4 that Iv'e owned, and by a large margin. What's that saying about buy cheap buy twice?

My Prado was supposedly the first 2.8 Diesel that Nunawading Toyota sold. I ordered my Prado without even knowing a new version was on the way. Even the salesman was surprised when a week after ordering the car, he was told that I would be getting the new engine and gearbox. I was concerned at first about an unknown motor, but so far it has exceeded my expectations.

I've listed my mods so far in my sig. Will be adding the Wind Cheeta rack tonight and then its rear drawers, awning, rear locker, bash plates, etc, etc, etc...

Cant wait to get it to the other side of the Country when I can get some bloody time off from work!

Cheers,

Mike.

Welcome Mild7, look forward to seeing some pics when you get the chance!

Cheers

G'day all, recently picked up a 2012 GX Prado, very impressed to say the least!
Previously had a 2007 Triton and before that a '99 100 Series Landcruiser. Been out of the off-road game for a few years so it's great to get back into a real vehicle again!

Based in the Perth CBD so it's a great excuse to get away from the city!

Pretty happy with this as she's come fitted with:
RedArc dual Batt.
Safari Snorkle
Kamar dual rear wheel carrier
and Gen. Toyota alloy bull bar - which will probably get replaced in the near future.

Certainly looking at a small lift and been checking out the Pioneer Tradie Rhino Rack and awning. Also looking at some lighting upgrades and comms.

Looking forward in getting out, doing some touring again and enjoying the great outdoors.

I've got plenty of ridiculous questions to ask later on so be patient with me!

Cheers

Hi

swapped my Triton for a 2015 Prado GXL 2.8TD in December.

Well not really swapped, number 2 son apparently purchased the Triton and I got a sparkly new Prado.

So far I have installed:
- Opposite Lock bull bar
- Intervolt DCC Pro battery management
- Repco 100Ah deep cycle battery
- ARB onboard compressor

Still to install:
- 80 channel UHF (to be removed from said Triton)
- 4WD1 9" LED lights

Still to purchase
- Snorkel
- looking at suspension lift and airbags in the back
- will put larger tyres on when I have destroyed the original set
- Rhino roof bars and awning

I'm in Secret Harbour, WA.
