Ok,
Been away for quite some time but I have been busy getting the Prado sorted and nearly ready for camping. The SS was finally sold the other week and this has allowed me to press the button on the following:

Exterior:
MCC winch bullbar
MCC dual rear wheel carrier
MCC roof top tent rack
XROX rock sliders
Ironman engine and transmission protection
Ironman 9,500 winch
MM high lift jack
Ironman recovery kit
Ironman snorkel
Unifilter snorkel sock and tube filter
Headlight 6000k Hi/Low beam HID upgrade kit
HID upgrade kit for my old 900XS IPF spotties
Front Slotted disk rotors
Bendix 4WD pads all round
Front window weather shields
Bonnet protector
Rubber flair kit


Navigation:
Hema HN5i GPS

Camping/ Interior:
MCC draw system with in built fridge slide
Ironman 50l fridge with insulation bag
MCC rooftop tent
MCC awning
Custom fit seat covers
Insulation screens for rear cargo windows
2 burner gas stove setup
Tables, chairs, 12v shower, water containers, pots/ pans etc.

Once all of the above is finished/ fitted the next to do list is 2 inch lift and tyres. Have also been looking at replacing all internal LED's. Car alarm and electronic rust protection are also on the list......I dont think the list ever finishes! Photos to come.

Holy moly thats a serious list of add ons... so how are the iron man bash plates? When i enquired about them they were only making them for the V6... top work on the rig mate.

Just got back from work tonight. Found the shed full of the above goodies! Will install the rotors, pads and headlight HID's tomorrow morning. Have not revieved the rock sliders and bash plates yet but will chase them up tomorrow also. With a bit of luck ill get them on also. Regarding the bash plates the shop I went through here in Perth rang up and found that they do make them for the diesel 6 speed. Ill make sure they line up and let you know. Photos tomorrow.

A few more things ticked off the list this morning....Feeling a bit rough after a mates wedding last night but time is of the essence!. Finished installing the front slotted rotors and bendix 4x4 pads all round, installed the HID headlight upgrade which now gives a nice cool white light. Also fitted the HID upgrade for my IPF 900XS spotties which is one of the easiest upgrades imo. Fitted some seat covers and mounted the Hema GPS cradle on the dash.



Have also ordered some SMD LEDs to replace cabin lights and parking globes, a set of IPF clear covers and 8 point rust protection kit. My fridge, winch, recovery gear sit in the shed ready for when all my bar work is finished and draws are fitted. Have also received some custom fit sun shades that cover up the cargo windows to keep the fridge running efficiently and prying eyes out.

Only down side to the past purchases is that they have delivered the wrong snorkel. Instead of the KD I have the KZ. If anyone is interested in it, it is still in the plastic and box until I get home again and look at sending it back.

The biggest enemy is the lack of time I have for the build. Will have to fly back out again tomorrow arvo and wont see the rig again for another 4 weeks!

Sounds like a lot of fun though Dueler!

Which HID kit did you use for your 900XS spots?

Hey Madkore,
I've installed a 55w 6000k color kit. If I wanted 70w it would mean the ballasts would have to be outside the spotlight housing. The 55w is all internal and plug and play so it really is one of the easiest mods to carry out. I've also made sure to apply silicone to the rear gromet where the power feed enters the light to keep the water out. These spotties will be combined with the 35w hid headlamps, Smd Led parkers and once the roof rack is fitted, a led flood light bar on the roof.

Sounds like it will do the trick. Which brand globes/ballasts did you buy?

Top stuff Dueler! Will be keen to see the photos once the bits are bolted on.

[Dueler120 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Dueler120]

Righto,
Finally got the snorkel, rock sliders and new tyres on! The rest of the goodies will be bolted on around the 20th when I can get back and spend a decent amount of time in the shed.

If you still have it, can you tell me the SMD part numbers for these LED's? Also, I have been hunting around for a rear cargo screen for this same reason. Where did you source yours from?
Cheers.
