Seat covers are in, looks real good with the prado name badge on them, next up the colour coded bull bar. Got the Rhino sports bars from my old Prado but going to paint them black to tie in with the factory rails.

My wife Helga picked up the Prado from Oppy Lock today and gave me a ring (i'm at the mine site), she said the bullbar looks really good and the colour matches the Prado perfectly. Will post pictures when back in Darwin, and also sort out the winch control plug and isolator for the winch after reading about winch isolators on another thread. 1 more week then home aye

Had a message from L&S suspension this arvo to give him a call. All the parts must be here for the custom suspension but will give him a call tomorrow on shift change, but it looks like next week when i'm home the big lift to the Prado. Steve from Oppy Lock has kindly loaned me 2 x 33" tyres with 0 offset to see how that size will fit and look. Talk about being excited, this week at work will go so slow.

just a side note, the Bilsteins are actually custom lengths also.
I don't think they will be a part directly available off the shelf around the country.SIK-120

The trip yeaterday to test the suspension was good, but its pretty dry in the bush so very little mud around.
The suspension on the open road is firm and true with minimal body roll just as i like it. On the dirt road with corrigations it soaked up the bumps well, wasn't harsh and didn't skip at all, a real pleasure to drive.
In the rougher stuff the extra clearance was noticable compared with my previous 150 prado with a 2" lift, this prado was so much better getting thru washouts and the like.
1 bad thing that will require a modification is with it being close to 4 " lift is the mudflaps are now not long enough and will be even worst with 33" tyres. They are acting like the earlier 150 prado type with mud etc getting on the front door and rear guard. At lease its an easy fix
