Thanks Chippy, it was good to get the car of tarmac for the first time.

A couple of pictures that I should have posted a few weeks back on this thread.



The front driver & passenger windows have been tinted to match up with the rear windows having privacy glass from the factory.



I'm really happy with the sheepskin seat covers from Blacksheepaustralia.com at Nunawading (in Victoria, suburb of Melbourne.) They were organised by the Toyota dealer and I got the second row seats done too but didn't worry about the very back seats as those will be out of the car most of the time.

The car colour is Chrystal Gold (Dune) and the interior is Ivory. It's the only colour choice for the interior offered by Toyota with the Dune exterior. The interior is bound to get dirty with our red soil here but I'm going to take a look at the Sandgrabba mats & others.

Adrian,

Great looking Prado!
It look likes your using Thule load bars on the 755 foot? If so can you please measure the distance between the black plastic end caps for me?
I want to install a roof tent and need to have 120 cm. between the end caps, because the end caps need to get loose for mounting and this can't be done with the roof tent floor resting on them.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The more I see of the Sahara Bar......the more I like it.......That looks sensational

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

thanks Rob, the missus is anti-bull bars so i convinced her this was a good compromise (as it's not so full on)!

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

i'd have to line it dead centre with the sahara bar me thinks, off centre and the result would be a draw!

You asked about the roof bars.

Sorry, they're standard Toyota bars.

114cm of track without the end caps on.

It's a basic aluminium extrusion. I'm sure you'd find it if you checked with a few aluminium/metal suppliers. Probably comes in a standard 6m length.

Regards

Adrian

Adrian,

Thanks for looking, I will have a look at the Toyota bars, see if they are similar to the Thule's. Otherwise I have to make bars myself.

Kind regards,

Daan

Hey Guys and Gals,

Well here is the New Toy. Picked it up on Friday and have now covered a bit over 500 km. I still have the smile on my face. It is AWESOME to drive.

It goes to ARB tomorrow for Colour Coded Winch bar and Snorkel, so I thought I might add a before pic and tomorrow a after pic just for comparison.



The photo's don't show it but it is filthy at the moment needs a wash already
