Bendman's 150

[The Alberto Member Find all posts View Profile Close The Alberto]

Hey Alberto,

Sorry for the delay. I still haven't measured up (I now live on a hill and the garage isn't unpacked to get the cars in) but this might be better. While unpacking I found my measures from when it was first done:

Before
Front 755 both sides
Rear left 768 and right 775

After
Front left 795 and right 800
Rear left and right 840

After about 1500 km
Front left 790 and right 795
Rear left 837 and right 835

I've done close to 10,000 km since they were installed now and will add them shortly.

Thanks Mate. Those are the kind of figures I was expecting and wanted. My fronts are still sitting around 775 / 780 no winch yet. I am thinking I am going to make them put in the additional spacer similar to Hutch and Brains.

Again, thanks heaps for that fellas, helps me out a lot. I'll know more too once Brains finishes "Pleasuring" his Prado and posts up the results.

Good Luck with the unpacking.

Ahhhh I only just picked up on this....Brains, did you have to talk dirty on my rig build page?

Damn typing and auto correct on the iPhone.

Good stuff Bendman, the build is looking great, it's a gret colour, but they do show the bush pin striping way too easily. From memory my platform took a good few weeks to come in as they were waiting on the sxb legs. Have you ordered the side rails as well?

Glad to see you had better luck with Autopro mate. I have been waiting to see your pics and whether you are happy with it or not.

Unfortunately your pics are not working (might just be me I dunno) but when I click your attachments it says:

Jealous of the black.... I have to admit I did the same thing when mine arrived, rocked up in the Prado to find it was already assembled, luckily it was only 5 minutes from work so I went back in the ute! You should be one happy Bendman!

Looks the goods mate! I much prefer the black to the silver ones. I will have to venture down to Autopro myself - out of curiosity, what did Autopro Gladstone sting you for one?

Thanks for that mate, I will see what they want for one up here. I was thinking around the $1,000 mark so anywhere near $889 would be a nice surprise.

Thanks for the heads up Alberto. I think I fixed them and two more below.

With a number of projects in limbo until parts deliveries are received, it's good to report on something complete. Here is the bonnet protector I recently bought (thanks BNEGXL) now colour coded and installed.

Nice build mate, keen to see some photos of the rack all loaded up! I reckon black rack would look better on a silver prado too.

I had the Narva Blue Power globes in for a while and found the difference pretty good (for a 120 series), however I had one of them blow and have since had Phillips ones put in. I would rate the Phillips over the Narva.
