Hi Guy's

Picked up my white 2012 GX (40k's), yesterday. It went straight to the shop for Dueller 697's an HR tow bar and some tint. Awning, draws etc. will be fitted now she's home. I plan on more touring but I haven't decided what other kit I'll get. Guess that's why I'm here but overall I'm WRAPPED!

Welcome to the beginning of the end. I suggest you stop spending on the missus now. Some don't realise straight away that such frivolous spending eats into the ability to properly equip your rig until its too late. Better to not buy a ring as opposed to trying to ebay it at a later time for 1/10th of the value paid.

Hope the advice helps, there are no government funded organisations that assist in the dilemma you will soon face.

Hi Smithy. Chewed through a few mods since my first post. The truck looks great and drives really well. We did our first beach/ sand drive day. Few weeks ago and had a Ball !

Hi Prado Members

Just got my first Prado last week, a 90 series with a 1KZ-TE engine. It's done 180K but still in very good nick. Stock standard, no mods so i'm looking to bust my pockets over the next few weeks. My first projects would be bars, roof rack. Looking for seconds if anyone hears of any..

I'm new to Aussie land too, so looking to catch up on any groups outings - if theres any coming up soon.

Cheers. CJ

Hi All,

Bought my first Prado about 3 weeks ago. It's a 2008 GXL Auto Diesel. Came with an ARB bar and an Anderson plug. Has 130k kms but in excellent nick!
I like doing dirt tracks camping and boating! I mainly bought it to tow the boat. So far, love the car. So smooth!

Hi all.
I recently purchased a 2014 GXL diesel in Graphite, my first 4wd in about 15 years. My last off-roader was a early eighties Patrol diesel wagon, and before that a series III Landrover that I converted to run a P76 V8 & Borg Warner 40 auto trans. Early days were spent in Series II Landrovers with 186 conversions, an FJ45 & an International Scout
I must say I'm enjoying the comfort & smoothness of the new style 4wd's, a far cry from the kidney shaking I remember.
So far the only extra's are tint & towbar, however I'm sure the bank account is going to decrease over the next few years, especially if I keep reading the build threads.
I'm looking forward to getting back into some out of the way places again (after I re-learn how to drive using the modern technology).

Welcome aboard! What are you planning on doing with the car?

Cheers. My days of trying to compete with a mountain goat, or wading waist deep through a mud hole after getting bogged just because it's there, have long gone. At this stage I'll just be doing weekend trips to country areas, so the next bits will be a bullbar & seat covers. I'll see what else is needed asI go along. Over the next couple of years I want to end up with a comfortable cruiser with enough bits to get out of trouble if things turn sour, then I"ll be looking to do a few major trips as I head toward retirement.
