Hi guys

just joined as have only just become a proud new prado owner!

just got ourselves a new 2018 GXL Prado, graphite colour with leather interior. Just upgraded from a 09 Territory and 04 SR Hilux dual cab. Family is expanding!

currently no accessories as wanted to do everything ourselves, however will be needing tow and bull bars, then roof racks and awning, and probably some other mods along the way. Haven't gone about this stuff ourselves before, any recommendations on brands, who to use etc? So far have had ARB highly recommended as well as Ironman. Not sure where to start for comparisons, some help would be great.

cheers all

Hello from California,

Just signed up today. I'm a big fan of Prado and awesome Australian off-road scene and after-market products. I previously owned a 2003 Toyota 4Runner V8 2WD.

Model: Lexus GX 460 - V8 (Prado 150's American Cousin)
Year: 2015
Colour: Black

Accessories: Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro shock/coil over lift kit, RCI skid plates, HELO 18x9 wheels, Cooper Discoverer A/T3 275/70R18 tires, Ironman4x4 Snorkel, black-out vinyl wrap, Vanguard bull bar (for now) and LED ligh bar, LED interior lights, Husky fitted rubber floor mat, Landcruiser Prado rear lights from Japan.

Accessories pending delivery/installation: Ironman4x4 Delux Commercial Bull Bar, MetalTech4x4 OPOR sliders, wheel flares, and Superwinch.

Wishlist: More trail off-roading across California and the states, more off-road worthy parts.

Ultimate wishlist: Ship my GX to Australia and tour your beautiful landscape and meet the wonderful Aussies.

Thank you for allowing me to join this great forum from across the pond. We have over 5000 members, GX 470 (Prado 120) and GX 460 (Prado 150) in GXOR - Off-Road Facebook group. I'm here just to learn and share - very new to off-roading, since March this year.

Hi All,

Been lurking here quietly for a couple of years.

Earlier this year I picked up a 2013 GXL V6. (after 15 years previously in various Patrols MQ,GQ,GU1,GU4)
She was stock as a rock when I bought her except for ARB Deluxe Bull Bar, and BFG KO2s in std 265/65 size.

Planned mods list was/is fairly small (as no longer need/want the locked,lifted,Simex'd Patrols I used to have)
- Electric brake controller (Redarc Tow Pro Elite - already fitted)
- Spotties (Lightforce 240s - already fitted)
- 2" Susp kit & airbags (already sourced from John Zordo, I will be fitting them next week)
- air compressor (Prob ARB CKMA12 - mounted underbonnet)
- Swapping the 265/65 KO2s for same in 265/70.
- UHF (still deciding on which)

Model: Hilux
Year: 1998
Colour: White originally, light shade of red now
Accessories: 2” lift, bull/tow bars, spotties
Wishlist: 120 Series Prado

I am in the market, just need to decide on v6 or 1KZ. We are going to be towing a 2T caravan around Aust for the next 2 years with the kids, to see what there is to see.

If I recall correctly Toyota made a GX Limited in 2006 with the flares and wider steel wheels and some GXL bits and then when the D4D was released this was the norm. Various option packs brought it to GXL spec less a couple of things.

Yes I think you’re right as it basically has everything except cruise control and the previous owner has fitted a good quality aftermarket system.
