Hi all,

Found this forum through the wheel thread. I'm based in Auckland, NZ and use my Prado for Location Scout work. Have had it around 9 months. Keen to get it ready for west coast beach work (ironsand) and small river crossings.

Model: 150 series Prado VX
Year: 2014
Colour: Black
Accessories: Stock standard
Wishlist: Tyres, Lift kit, Underbody rust prevention, Recovery kit and tracks, Steel bash plate, Diff breathers, Trans and Transfer breathers.

Crossing rivers you might want to look at a snorkel and if travelling by yourself maybe a winch.

Howdy all, been a while since I sold my 120. Now back in a 90 Series 2001 50th Anniverary Green beasty. Looking forward to modding it further. Picks in a build thread of what we have so far soon. Good to be back in a Prado.

Bula from Fiji! I have an ex-government fleet model which has drivetrain options not seen in OZ.

Model: J150 TX (LJ150-GKMEE) Year: 2011
Colour: White
Drivetrain: Diesel 5L-E 3.0 4cyl non-turbo (70kw), 5 speed manual.
Accessories: Snorkel, Jump seats in trunk so its a 9 seater. Has tailgate mounted spare but only single fuel tank.
Wishlist: Better sound system, facelift to current model.

There are lots of difference between this one and what I see is as standard in the Aussie J150.user manual like no smart display, no reversing camera. Ask away if there are any questions.
