GXL 150 Coming Soon

[toddcpo Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close toddcpo]

G'day all,
Wasnt sure where to put this so figured i would be pre-emptive and do the initial build up intro prior to getting my wheels.
Well I have finally sold my hilux and have my GXL on order (was even before i sold it). Its nothing too special, Silver GXL 150, hopefully will be 2012 plated as its not being delivered until Feb, which is how i wanted it as i am currently away. It is coming with headlight/bonnet protectors, rubber matting, weather shields and full tank of juice. Picking it up (not on lease) for 59500. I think its a fairly reasonable price for something i plan on keeping for a while.

Immediate mods will be:
Mickey Thompson MTZs 265's
2 inch lift, tossing up between TJM, OME, Bilsteins
TJM Winchbar with their new winch and rope combo
Airtec snorkle
Steel Steps
HID Spotties
Tinted windows
Seat covers

Future mods:
Dual Batts
Kaymar rear bar
UHF tossing up between icom/GME
Rear Drawers
mod rear door with table and LED strip

Thats about all i can think of right now. Definitely being set up as a tourer with around town in between. First drive will be down to Victoria then across to SA and back to Nth QLD. Cant wait to get it, very excited.
If anyone can give me an idea who does Bilsteins and King Springs Nth Brissy area would be appreciated as i am getting it down that way. Cant seem to find the posts on it.

Is that price for the diesel or petrol?

Thanks

Sounds good Chief! Go the OME for the suspension I reckon and the GME for the UHF.

Fourbys Moorooka do billies, also Fulcrum at Stafford and another place at Springwood but it slips my mind the name of it.

Greg @ City Suspension who has just joined up with Southside Suspension... Very helpful, knows his stuff.... Doesn't normally sell bilsteins but his belief is there's nothing better for Prados paired up with the Kings (he said it, not me)

Latest update, 28th Sept order being placed to Japan for 1st Dec build. Should be in Oz by Jan and I get start Feb. Then comes the mods. Going with the Bilsteins/King springs setup (Fulcrums Stafford), TJM Colour coded bar, Ralley 4000 HIDs, TJM Winch/synthetic rope and mickey thompson MTZs.
Apparently the extras on the new builds is 20% privacy glass so all you would have to do is front windows and the new flaps.
Anyway, they will be the immediate mods as i am not picking it up at home location.
Once home, Jeez I can see my bank account becoming very dusty very quickly. haha
