Hello Lakes

Onthaal aan Pradopoint. Ik ben zeker u het een zeer nuttige plaats zult vinden.
Verwacht al mijn reacties niet om in het Netherlands te zijn aangezien ik geen woord van het begrijp maar mijn vrouw.

Cheers

Haha nice to read this. Didn't expect to get a reply in dutch!!! What a small world..... Is your wife from the netherlands or belgium?

Anyway forgot to mention that I was on a holiday last december januari in aussie for 4 weeks. Travelled from sydney to cairns in a toyota camry. Travelled highway? #1. I really love the country. It's stunning. But if I ever go there again, and it will happen )!!, I'll rent a 4x4 wih a roof tent and travel from east to west for example. I really loved the "beach" scenery but would love to see the "red" outback!!

Ow and also the aussies are really friendly people!! When thinking about my trip, I get a smile upon my face.

Plans r to go there many more times

Lakes, just remember that when you do come back to let us know and I am sure that the folks on Pradopoint will be happy to organise some trips to show you around.

Re: Introductions

G'day all,

Ive been an occassional lurker to this site for quite a while now. Dont know why I never subscribed earlier. But anyway, Unfortunately for you guys, I dont own a Prado but a current shape Hilux. Maybe some of you here might have seen my rig on a couple of other forums....maybe not.

Anyway, since the Hilux and Prado share quite a few characteristics I thought Id join so we may both learn off each other.

So, heres me rig-

07 Hilux SR Dual D4DE, auto (should have got the manual) Damn you Prado owners with the 5 speed auto, I wish

3 inch lift, Fox Foam cell shocks, dobinson coils up front, reset factory leaves on rear. Snake racing 1 inch lift block,

this rear setup will stay until it wears abit and sags, then Ill get a custom 3 inch leaf pack made up.

Extended rear snake racing braided brake lines,

Colour coded flares and grille, ARB Bar and side rails/steps, snorkel, SR5 sport bar powder coated black, tubliner, Lightforce spottied,

16x8 Black Dynamic Wheels with a zero offset, 285/75x16 Silverstone Mud terrains, and a little bit of trimming.

3 inch dump pipe and straight through 3 inch exhaust no mufflers....sounds bloody awesome under load and you can barely hear it when cruising on the highway.






Future mods-

Id love to get front and rear locked, change diff ratios from 3.73 to 4.5:1, bit more armour below like a fuel tank skid plate and Lower Control Arms skid plates. Might modify the towbar to incorporate lower quarter panel protectors and a small step. ARB rear step hangs too low.

Bit more trimming and 35/10.5x16 Silverstone extremes.

Thats the plan, I know it can be done with a 3 inch lift, just moneys the be all and end all.

Glad to be onboard, look forward to chatting with you all.

Re: Introductions

Very nice. Thanks for the welcome guys and welcome to the other new members here too. This site is a wealth of knowledge for any 4WD fanatic, and even for noobs like me, I love it. Check out the modifications forums for either respective model, there is heaps of goodies for the average to professional DIY lover.

Cheers

Re: Introductions

Hi everyone,

I have been lingering around for about 30 posts now and thought to myself " I didnt introduce myself".......so here it goes

Babs
2006 Silver GXL D4D Auto
ARB Deluxe Bar - colour coded ( no winch )
IPF 900's
40L Engel
75Amp Thumper

More to come now the injectors are fixed including..

2 inch lift (OME)
BF Goodrich AT's 265/65/17 when they get here.....hopefully a Xmas present for me!!
Snorkel (ARB)

Location - Sydney for 1 more week, then Adelaide for a few years for work

So far I have found heaps of useful info and had a few laughs reading some of the adventures.

I have been told that I am soon to be rationed to 30mins a day of PP by the wife - will have to take the wireless laptop to work to get around this..

Look forward to perhaps a day trip somewhere in S.A when I arrive

Cheers,

Babs

Good job that Adelaide has a free wireless intenet network in the CBD area. So you can take your PDA or Laptop and get your fill of PP anytime without the wife knowing.

Hi Everyone,

My first time on here. I am not yet a Prado owner, but am in the investigating stages at the moment. I am hoping to convince my wife to buy a new one in the New Year. :lol: Looks like I could learn alot here.

If you spend too much time here, you will spend too much money on your Prado thanks to all the mods that need to be done. Let my wife Lacey convince your wife to buy one, she has these strange powers for convincing others :twisted: :twisted: Just Do It and tell her later
