Snaga's new ride... 2008 120 D4D GXL

[Snaga]

Well ladies and gents... It's time for Prado number 3 so I'm selling my 2008 120 GXL.
Currently negotiating on a 2018 GXL.

Latest mod... install Amts Compressor bracket mkII
A long time coming but bit the bullet and had my mechanic fit it finally.

So I finally managed to get rid of the Powerful4x4 bullbar that came with my car when I bought it.
Replaced it with a TJM steel winch bar on Tuesday.


At the same time I had the original steel cable from the Ox winch changed over to rope.
10mm x 30mm rope rated for 9000kg.


First impressions age great... The front end feels a lot lighter as the Powerful bar was close to 100kg and the THM is closer to 60kg.
Combine that with the weight of rope V's steel cable that's a lot of weight off the front end.

Any pics yet Snaga?

I've been looking at both the ST Maxx and P3's for when my BFG AT's wear down.

Thanks VX...
A badly timed situation change. We (the family) were moving to Kingaroy last year and my driving habits were going to change from 30,000 k's a year to about 10,000 or so and a heap more off-road driving. But, in true form that changed about 3 weeks after I bought the MT's and now it's back to 30'odd thousand k's a year.

Nice build there mate, I think i'll go the new MT's soon too. Why the swap of tyres though?

[Snaga]

Replaced the Federal MT's last week with 4 new Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's. Supposed to be better than the Cooper ST Maxx on wet roads and a new compound from the older 4rib ATZ's.
Initial onroad feel is excellent so looking forward to testing them out off road.

Had a service done last week... apparently the cabin filter needed to be changed


So that's what a cabin filter looks like after 96,000ks

3 consecutive GTG's = acquired knowledge... gotta store it somewhere

Your head has gotten bigger Snaga? Must be all that knowledge you've picked up over the last few years.

Well, when the family comes is feels like we pack the whole house. May as well include the dining table as well

You guys talking about the hat? I thought it was a new camping table. Oops.
