Well I've finally got a D4D Auto 120 Series Prado...... Or more accurately SWMBO does, but I get to build it up!
Started 4x4 with friends & family touring, on trips & farming way back when, mostly in GQ 'troll's
Once I got my licence, following a few other vehicles, I purchased a TF/ R7 Rodeo diesel as my first 4wd (got water in the air box back before I knew more about it <gasp> )
Dodged a bullet & learned some lessons that day!
Followed that up with a 4.2td GU Troll. Wish I could've kept it, but it was manual (which the wife won't drive) an apparently "too big" for her..... I haven't yet told her the comparison of dimensions between the GU & a 120 Prado.....
Prado Troll
Length 4850 5050mm = 200mm Shorter
Width 1875 1940mm = 65mm Narrower
Height 1905 1855mm = 50mm Taller!
I'll leave it a few more weeks.... Months..... Hmm, possibly forever now that I think about it, before I enlighten her!!
Anyway, scored a good deal on the new baby.
144km with everything done to it, and new injectors.
ARB Deluxe Steel bar - colour coded Silver Ash (non-winch, so may be for sale/swap if anyone has a winch bar they want to offload)
Safari Snorkel
Dual batteries with triple battery solenoid setup (debating whether to leave it in or put my autron kit in)
ERPS (rust system)
& a few other bits and pieces.
Planning on a few bits, already bought a cargo barrier, great whites light bar, inverter & overhead console.
Waiting on lights (Genesis I expect), some rigid dually's to go in the bar, UHF (Icom 400 pro is the plan), and I'll put my GME 4700 series antenna on.
Planning for a rhino pioneer rack, AJ120 sliders with brush bars (removed for SWMBO but installed for trips) and his rear bar when it's available, a bunch of gauges etc, drawer or shelf setup in the back, and e locker setup for front &/or rear (yet to fully decide on this).
Alright, I can hear the complaints, let me see if I can get some pics up!
