Moved the old girl on... Snaga's Ride 98 V6 VX Grande and found myself a 2008 120 D4D GXL Auto.
It had 55,000k's on it when I bought it and looks to be a reps/demo car from a mechanic so hopefully they looked after the engine for me.

Here's how it looked last weekend (04/08/2012) after a dusty day at Mt Mee.
I suspect it's done some towing duties and already had on it...
* 2" lift but I've swapped the Pedders out and put a 2" HD Billies and Dobinson combination in.
* BFG AT's
* Toyota tow bar
Dealer installed as part of the deal...
* Safari snorkel
* Powerfull 4x4 Premium Bull Bar
* Narva 225 Spotties.
* Dual batteries
I've since installed...
* Pradopoint sticker
* 2" Raised HD Billies and Dobinson combination
* ARB underbody protection plates
* Electronic brake controller.
* Anderson plug to the rear for the CT
* 12v direct to cargo area for the fridge.
* Replaced 2nd battery with new 105ah deep cycle battery
* Acquire new feet for my commercial Rhino bars so I can fit the Foxwing, Maxtrax and shovel (Done: 19/08/2012)
* Extended the diff and transmission breathers higher in the body. (30/08/2012)
* Repaired a hole that was letting dust into the cargo area through the fuel filler area. (31/08/2012)
* Installed my TG120 - 120 Transfer Case Guard (17/09/2012)
* Purchase/install cargo barrier (20/09/2012 In progress)
* Re-build shelf system for cargo area (20/09/2012 In progress)
* Installed a GME TX3540 UHF under the dash(20/03/2013)
* Swap out the Narva lights for my IPF lights off the 90 series.
* Wire up the TJM Ox winch
* Sand grabba Mats
* Installed the Amts Compressor bkt mkII with ARM Compressor and water separator. (23/03/2016)
The 'to do' list...
* Fit new fire extinguisher.
* Improve the recovery points (not comfortable snatching off the bullbar even if they say they are rated recovery points. Will probably go the outback ideas recovery points)
* probably will budget for a rear locker at some point in the near future as I really was amazed at how well they improved the 90 series off road.
* Custom mods to the factory side steps... or maybe even a set of AJ120's rock sliders.
