Robuck's Remarkably egRegious Ride

[Robuck Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Robuck]

G'day PP'ers,

Had my mighty Prado for just over a month now. Came with ARB bar, UHF, Hella Spotties, GPS and roof racks.

Been to Sundown NP, Double Island, and Glasshouse Mountains. Only had 1 weekend where I haven't been out and about in it so far.

Many plans and mods.

Lift, tyres and bash plates are going to be first I think.

That picture with the rear flexing I actually forgot I was parked like that when I intended to get out, nearly tackled the ground with the head. I was quite surprised by the amount of travel I had at the back.

Good times ahead.

New treads for the beast. Will be testing them out next weekend. Been on a few outings since last time I posted.

Managed to be a good scratch job on the passenger side....stupid lantana.

Lift, snorkel, bash plates, and breathers soon.

Looking good Robuck.

Is that a set of Cooper ST Max tyres I can see there? would be very interested to find out how they go, both on and off road, I have considered them for my 120 but I am still undecided between those and Mickey T ATZ 4 ribs, price at this stage has me leaning towards the Mickey T's.

Where did you get that UHF aerial mount from? I would be keen on getting one of those for mine as well.

Pretty happy with the tyres atm, haven't done all that much in them yet. They are pretty quiet on the road...if the radio is on you generally can't hear them. As for offroading will find out next weekend.

The aerial mount was on there when I bought it. It's just a saddle like piece of SS which it tightened with 2 bolts. Pretty simple, but very effective.

Nice tyres Robuck, look great. I've heard (pardon the pun!) that the ST Maxx's are very quiet and in the latest 4WD Action Tyre Comparo (for what its worth!) they come out as the quietest tyre ?

No problem Justin
I will also recommend Transceiver services out at Para Hills West. They have a good range of comms gear that comes with quite helpful service.
Located off of Main North Road, opposite Bunnings South of Kittle Toyota.
Would put in a link if I was "edu-me-cated" in such processes. www.transceiverservices.com.au
