Hi all,
This is my first time on this site, as this is the first time I have bought a Prado,
my previous (well other at the moment until my wife gets her way) is a 2003 Patrol, which I love but I need something a bit more classy and better for the young family.
I am trying to upload the photos but my computer is taking forever. but its Graphite and a GXL you all know what they look like.
So I suppose I need to add some things to it. I dont think I need anymore fuel economy and I havent been real 4wding in it yet but I doubt I will chip it. I grabbed the alloy front bar just to have as I didnt like the factory steel. down the track I will give ARB a stupid amount of money for a bar and scrub bars
But to start I think
Snorkel (booked in next week)
Spotlights LED or HID not sure yet
I will take the side steps off and try to make them into proper sliders that still look factory. I will need them I am sure.
dual battery system (pretty expensive about $1300 without the battery) they tell me you need a special AC/DC solenoid thingy
I used to have drawers but I dont want to drill into the real floor (well seats) perhaps someone can show me a modular system I can use
A UHF but one that can be fitted without drilling into anywhere really obvious.
2 inch lift
now I had muddies on my Patrol and loved them, but its W.A and it rains for 3 minutes every year so I think I can slum it on ATZ's
Now what the F.. is up with the stupid lack of GPS in the GXL, I wanted one but didnt want to pay 200 series prices for a VX Prado is there a product out there thats good quality that looks factory that can be installed in the same spot as the original stereo head unit? Toyota are talking about some "Toyota link" program that links with your phone, any news on that?
anyway thats enough to start with.
I hope someone reads this but I will take my questions out to the greater forum so more people see them.
Cheers
