      Here's my upcoming mods in no particular order:
      1. Trek table (DIY) including LED power rail so I can rig up my rigs! (fishing).
      2. Side awning - I've now have the MRS approval after she got burnt yesterday due to lack of shade. (OK party planned for a rushed approval)
      3. To finally fit the shower system and heat exchanger sitting in my garage for months...
      4. Water tank/s, for washing dirty hands etc.
      5. Inverter. This one is not guaranteed as I'm still deciding its worthiness ATM

        First up for me is a DIY rear light mounted on the spare wheel carrier and a set of rear recovery points.

        Also planning on getting a new 2 Din Head unit but possibly just for reverse camera, bluetooth and iPod connectivity (already have both on and off road nav systems).

        I would also like to get (or make) a set of rock sliders.

            We have started planning Xmas in Tassie for 2012.
            So my list goes like this.

            Finish the rear door table, LED strip already installed.
            Snorkel, just in case it is wet
            Airbags in rear, for camper.
            Oh, yeah, camper too.

            And, dare I say it, if the Aldi winches come around again, I may grab one. Better to have than not to have...

              1st project is to actually get my hands on my new Prado....
              Then will be Lightforce XGT's, considering some of the aftermarket modded HID ones advertised on eBay.
              Dual batteries.
              Winch.
              Some sort of storage/fridge slide for the back.
              Roof racks.

              Should be good to go for some decent trecks then. Got plenty more I want to do but see how time and $$ works in with that.
              Silver 150 D4D Manual. ARB winch bar, Safari snorkel, Tigerz11 12000lb 2 speed winch, Lightforce 70W HID XGTs, ABR Sidewinder dual battery system, ABR air compressor, Powerful 4X4 roof rack, Tigerz11 awning, ARB imitation rooftop tent, 40L Gold Engel to keep the Coke cold.

                  Well my 120 is sold and she is leaving on the 21st of January. I have ordered a new 150 GXL TD auto and apparently the production is scheduled to the 13th of Feb 2012. I have already purchased a second battery tray and will fit that with a redarch isolator etc. I still have the alloy windcheeta roofrack and 2.5 mtr side awning to fit on the new car as well. My scangauge will be fitted to the 150 as well.

                  Here is the gear it will arrive with from the dealership :

                  - ARB Steel deluxe bar
                  - Genesis HID spotlights
                  - Milford cargo barrier
                  - Safari snorkel
                  - Towbar
                  - 5 x Cooper AT3 LT tyres


                  I will fit a water trap type diesel/water seperator straight up as well. I have plans to maybe buy a camper early in the year as well, just need to try and bloody finance all this stuff first !!

                  This will be my new project !

                    Yeah I gotta get serious about the Mods this year I've got money burning a hole in my pocket, just need to find people that can supply me the gear I am after.

                    I could tell you what I have planned but then I would have to kill you

                    Cheers Andrew

                          First job is to finish the custom winch mount and winch install I started months ago. Then install the high flow muffler I never had time to fit when I fitted the extractors. After that its a few small jobs to get ready for a rescheduled simpson trip late July then the GTG in sept! Would love to make some sliders but we'll see how time goes!
                          Also got a rock through one of my spotties yesterday at coffin bay so there's another job

                            Still waiting for my rear bar from Kaymar, so that's first. Then would like some rock sliders, underbody bash plates, UHF, double din nav (have no idea which one yet), roof rack, shower, water tank, HID upgrade for the IPF 900's............ I'm sure there's more!
                            Happy New Year!

                              Mate, the diff breathers and extra points is easy and been done a few times at Matt's. When I am back I will show you mine and you can design what you want from there

                              The major mod you really need though is to remove that petrol and slot in a D4D
