Yeah, After using them for a number of years I find BFG AT's too skatey in the wet once they have a few years on them. Mine had around 55000 km on them whenI sold the car and sometimes in the wet and in also on loose gravel; I didn't like the feel of them.
I have been trying the Coopers on my work Prado 120 for 10 months and love them.

Fair points. Bit less aggressive though - you didn't think of going the ST Maxx?
On another note, the person who bought your 'old' 120 - are they a Pradopointer?NOW FOR SALE!!! - 2004 Silver GXL 3lt 4spd Auto - ARB Bullbar, Safari Snorkel, Redarc Dual Battery System, Cooper ST MAXX, Dark Tint, IPF900XS spots, Raised Bilstein/Kings Suspension/Firestone Airbags, Autosafe Cargo Barrier, Sandgrabbers, Rola Roof Rack Stuff, Insect Screen, Dust/Wind Deflectors, Sheepskin/Black Duck Seatcovers, GME TX3510, ARB underbonnet compressor, Allied Hammer Rims, ARB UVP, [url="http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?18043-Rock-sliders-steel-side-steps"]AJ Sliders[/url]

She's looking good Matt! Just curious though why you went for the Genesis rather than the XGT's or HID equivalent? I haven't read up on the Genesis yet to see what their selling points are.
I'm still hanging out for my bar and snorkel to be fitted on Monday. Got my lights here, pretty much all the wiring is done, will just need to bolt them on and plug them in, can't wait.

So what's the advantage over the 50W HID in the XGT housing? Not being picky, just curious is all. I went for the Genuine Lightforce 70W HID XGTs, I'm hearing you on the small fortune bit, they'd want to be bloody good.Silver 150 D4D Manual.

I just wanted the compact size of the genesis. Liked the idea of tucking them further back in the bar to protect them when I hit a roo. Same solid HID grunt, but smaller and attracts less attention from light fingered persons...[CENTER][B][U]Matt
