Gday mate, and welcome along to PP.

I've seen your rig getting around, its a pretty nice truck. Not sure if arb make a rear bar for the prado, I few other mobs do, Kaymar, K&N strongarm, and others that slip my mind right now.

Sounds like Matt has volunteered to fit your winch :P

CHeers,

Joel

Hi Matey

I am looking at a new Prado and have a 90 series, I have OME 2" lift on the 90 and done heaps of touring and hard core off road, why did you change to the Tough Dogs? Also mate of mine is using the Mickey Thompson ATZ's 4 rib pattern, as a long time BF Goodrich All Terain TA user the Mickeys will be going on the new truck.

Regards.

Hey again all ............

I've gone back to that Metallic Dark Grey for the Bull bar since the photo But the Amber covers really do set it apart
I'll get Some photos up shortly.. its the 4th ARB Bar for this Prado (the silver one only lasted 2 weeks, long story involving my boss a Water truck a hill and him not applying the handbrake on the truck properly), and a Toyota Alloy bar that met a rock step
The Old Man Emus were great but even though I got Med springs up front and soft on the back,i was told by a mate
with a 100 series about the adjustables from tough Dog. I had rancho adjustables on the lux I had a few years back so it was
more of an experiment..... on the 4th setting they go allright on road and they go sweet on the corrugations of my works road.... I do around 15km per day heavy corrugations ( Quarry Road go figure ).

Thanks Matt ............. and by default Joel I got a few days off in a month or so, I'll send ye a PM and See what can be done for the gaping hole section in the bar for a winch Thanks a lot guys
