  • Moz's 'Charcoal' 120GXL

    Bah, i've covered most of these first few posts throughout the forum, but figured i might put it all together in one thread… if only for my own reference!

    So i'll start out again with my introduction;

    My name's Dion…. but most people that know me, call me "Moz" I move around a bit… i'm actually from SE-QLD (Burleigh Heads) most of my family are in the S.E.(ish)-corner of QLD, however… at the moment i live in Darwin (and I consider it my home!) but currently living in perth, later in the year, melbourne for the remainder of 2012, look forward to getting back to the territory!

    I'm on my second Prado…. Back in '08 I got my first one, a new d4d GXL which I sadly only had for about 6 months, before i changed jobs and copped a fair bit of a pay reduction, I didn't want to suffer so much… and i couldn't give up a prado… so i got rid of it and picked up a cheap '04 petrol GXL secondhand, which i still have now…

    It was a stock car with genuine toyota bulbar and a set of BFG 265/70/17 A/T's on it.

    Not long after purchasing it looked like this;





    Think those are on Rainbow Beach




    …for a brief period of time i had a set of IPF spotlights and an ARB Roofrack fitted (i don't seem to be able to find any pictures from this time)
    Then the car went into storage for a little while whilst i completed training in my new job (ADF) when i had the car delivered to me, i removed and sold the roof rack and the spotties sadly went missing in transit.

    After that a few things were installed on the car… notably;

    Lightforce 240XGT's (since removed)

    Uniden UH7760NB (Remote Head thingy) UHF CB With GME Fibreglass Antenna

    Colour Coded ARB Deluxe Winch Bullbar

    OME 2" Suspension Lift

    Toyota 3 Bar "HD" Roofrack (by Rhino)

    Sony XAV-63 Multimedia Headunit

    Oh, and Hilux wiper jets

    Just before the drive to perth, i took off the light force XGT's and fitted up a 32" LED light bar to the bulbar
    Because i found a guy up in darwin that had been bringing in these 3W Cree LED light bars... originally he was a source for some HID kits, that i was going to use to upgrade my lightforce 240XGT's... but after playing around with a heap of these with him out in a paddock one night… i had to give one a shot...

    I got one of these;


    As I said, the 20ish inch bars are normally the choice to run on the bullbar... he actually didn't have any... so looked at the 32, looked at my bullbar a couple of times... and...

    It fit…


    I thought it looked good, was a nice chance from massive great big spotlights... and while the light output is totally different to conventional lights, i've come to like it.

                Sure, i'll take it somewhere quiet tonight… except i only have my iPhone with me… mid-week i should be able to get my good camera and try and take some better night time shots.

                i don't actually, i was preparing to do a little bit of 'tuning' to get it right, and even using some "matt" vinyl in places to reduce it if necessary … but where it is mounted on the roof is near on perfect… the amount of rooftop that is left, creates an almost perfect shadow right to the bulbar… which i saw by the way it illuminated the antenna… in fact, the most annoying thing is the UHF antenna, which i was planning on maybe wrapping it in some heat shrink… or potentially painting it with a non-metallic matt finish paint.
