Well a bit of an update on the Prado. Have added:
-A set of BFG AT (265/70/17)
-2" Tough Dog Lift
-Set of outback drawers and cargo barrier
-Set of lightforce XGT's(still halogen, just waiting for my funds to recouperate before i convert them)

Here is a picture of it on a recent trip.

Well i've been busy spending a few dollars on the prado. She now sports a:

Tracklander Roof Rack
Black Widow 2m x 2.5m awning
Ironman Snorkel (what a job that was)
Icom 440 UHF with an RFI 5db Aerial

Have also converted the XGT's over to 70W HID and she is booked in for an ARB deluxe winch bar for the end of the month..

For some reason it wont let me add photos so you will have to wait

Another update.

Have installed a Pioneer FH-X755BT head unit, has everything I need (bluetooth, iPod connectivity) and was cheap. Now need to update the speakers, although changing the head unit made a decent difference to the sound. I am interested in sticking a sub in the back in a custom fibreglass enclosure that will sit on the RHS next to the factory 12V socket to save on space(something similar to this but probably not a sub that big). Either that or I will just have something decent in the doors.

Installed a manta 3" exhaust from the turbo back, certainly hear it spool up a little quicker but did not really feel much of a difference in acceleration/power...



The steinbauer chip on the other hand, has made a difference. Can certainly tell when you put your foot down. I have this set on the "100%" setting, not too keen on pushing the limit too much further till i get some gauges to monitor EGT, boost, etc. I plan on getting the Autron gauges that have both on the same gauge and then a dual battery gauge and install it in a dual pillar pod that goes on the A pillar. I have seen these on ebay, has anyone else got one?

Have also added the sunshade thingies on the rear windows(sorry I can't remember the name of them, shift work getting the better of me haha)

Mounted a pair of Rigid Industries Dually's on the back of the roof rack as work lights / reverse lights.

I don't think I have done much else. Next up will most probably be a set of AJ120 rock sliders.

Sorry I don't have much photos at the moment, the missus has taken the car to work. I will try get some more when she gets back.
