Hey Chippy,

If MI/5 saw this post they would probably want you to kit out the next Bond car cause im sure they havn`t got half the gadgets you have. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sssshhhhhh .... I'm just designing a new modified Prado for Q to hand over to the next James Bond :lol: :lol: :lol:

Gotta be good for 300 km/hr, underwater ... and be a cross between rock crawler, sprint car and drag racer :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers

Chippy.......

Finally had a look at your build-up. Holy moly. All I need to do now is convince Lacey that I need some mods like yours. Love the auto temp gauge. Just wondering though are there any wires that run up the A-Pillar, because that is where I am thinking of mounting a reversing camera screen off.

You must be damn close to the GVM on the old girl by now. If not by the time you throw the troops, food and fuel in, must be giving it a good nudge.

Top work, I would say keep it up but I don't think there is any real estate left on your car :twisted:

There's all sorts of bits and pieces under there ... but they are well protected ... and the plastic A pillar cover is a sort of egg carton construction inside so its suprisingly strong.

Have a sneek peek by peeling back the door rubber and have a look in between the sheetmetal and the plastic. There is a big enough gap to give you an idea what it looks like ... without pulling the whole lot apart.

Cheers

I know a bloke can never have too many toys, but surely you're getting close now Chippy! :shock:

The only thing you probably haven't got is a jet ski, or a fishing boat or something. :P

Cheers,
AJ
