Mate thats some nice rear flex, have you disconnected the sway bar?
Those lower arms must be awesome...

Yep, very impressive flex. I didn't realize that the Billies would provide that much droop?
Nice work Playdoh

I think the slightly bigger bushes help with both flex and ride, and I'm really happy with the ride, I still have the sway bars in, I want to keep a good ride off and on the road as it still gets long distance highway driving as well. You can actually just see the sway bars still there in the pic above the flex shot...

the bilsteins fitted to playdoh's 120 are custom lengths. these are not the standard billies you get over the counter off the shelf.

good flex.

Custom = Expensive?

Depends, I think the Bilsteins are worth the money spent, that and I'm trying to do things right the first time with the Prado, I have learn't with plenty of other 4WD's how to do things wrong and then spend money again getting it right, so whilst not wanting to take forever to have my mods done, I'm certainly not rushing things.

Added some new 265/70 R17 rubber to the mod list last weekend.

Nice rubber and nice pic - might be worth entering it into the calendar competition!

Thanks, I might look into putting one in the next round I've got a few nice back drops I could chuck the Prado in front of that might help make it a little bit better.

My LED light bar turned up over Christmas so I thought I'd start looking into fitting it up soon.

I've picked up a few rolls of wiring, relay, heat shrink, wire fittings and a LED light bar switch. I've done a few dummy fits on the alloy bar, unfortunately it just misses fitting in the indented spotlight spots that I assume get drilled out accordingly. If this one works all right I might look at getting a bigger one once the steal bar is fitted and using this smaller one as a reverse light(overkill yeah but I have a tinted rear window)..

And the gear..


switch

roughly how I would fit it, I was thinking the upper bar, but I'm windering how I would get the drill in there..

you can get drills with the chuck on a 90 degree angle. http://www.google.com.au/search?q=90...w=1920&bih=955

would that work?

Hi Playdoh,

How are you finding the Dobinson Coils now after you've had them for a while? What are your suspension measurements? I am looking at the Bilstein/Kings combo however my installer is reccomending Dobinsons/Bilstein, my concern is that from what I have read on this forum most people feel the Dobinsons give too harsh a ride, what are your thoughts?
