Although Prado gauges move about and this is abit of a illusion, still makes me feel great I went for the diesel engine this time...

Same. I went from the 120 v6, I miss the power a little bit, but dont miss the fuel bill.

Too easy..

WetSeat Covers ??

Fitted the floormats and the Wetseat covers this morning. For some reason, I can't seem to be able to flip the middle seats right over, like the 120 did, it would have made it quicker...

Matt I was wondering where you got these seat covers from and if they would do them for a 120

Www.thewetseat.com.au (not sure if ya need the au). The said they do covers for all prado's. Email them and see how ya go !

Well worth the money.

The seats not flipping over had me baffled too. After an hour or so I worked it out. They dont.

G'day Matt, great build so far.

Did you end up with a chip? I have a 2011 D4D and the most i have got out of a tank is 1300k, that was with the fuel light on for 50km and computer saying range less than 10km. I was trying to do a test but my wife freaked out and made me use my 10ltr back up fuel can. When i filled up in town 70km away all i got in was 126ltrs. Just wondering if the chip affects the ltr/100 and by much.

Cheers Brigadoon

Will talk to SWMBO and sort Out a date.

Count me in to catch up as well as long as it doesn't clash with kids sport and wives requests. So actually I can't make it!!!!

No let us know when you're up here and I'll try to make it.

The lad and I have had a busy arvo. Went shopping and picked up a battery and new extinguisher. Dug out the ABR dual battery kit I had hidden in the shed. Fitted it all up, followed the destruction's, think it's right as it all tests correctly by the destruction's. Not doubt some Pradopoint legends will point out shit I did wrong, but anyhoo, I don't care.

These pics might assist someone else in the future when tackling the job. And by the way, ABR gear is great. Gonna try and fit the dual battery monitor in a few days, if I get time.

Been Shopping


Gotta work all this mess out and make it work ?


Holes drill to mount the controller behind the start battery


Destruction's said to put some silicone on the back of the controller for vibrations
