Hi guy n Gals

This is my first major post on this great website.

I am running a 2007 GXL Charcoal V6. When purchase brand new it came with Sovereign Bull bar, Bonnet / Light protectors, mats, tow bar. I am currently running Cooper STT 265x70x17. I have used the website and created the rear wheel spacer, with 14mm plastic cut and shaped to size

My wish list comprised of Lift OME ,Blackwidow drawers, UHF, IPF 900XS lights, snorkel, Dual battery system, ARB Bull bar w winch, last but not least lockers.

Over the past few weeks I have built it up, putting in the blackwidow drawer system and half height cargo barrier which I installed by myself nice little challenge , and yesterday I got the car back after having the OME suspension (Nitro Sport) in and it drives like a dream, the extra $20 was a good option

So that's two off the list of many. looking forward to the 4wdVictoria show in early Feb to see what bargains I can find. Hoping that Engel have a good deal on and I'll pick up the 40L fridge.

I will add photos at later stage, (after giving the car a quick clean).

Hi Butch,

Welcome to PP. The solution is to create a free photobucket account and simply copying the img link into your post.

Are you able to update your profile with your location?

Thanks

Unfortunately this car has been written off as of today. I loved the car very much and was shattered with the final outcome as I thought it was only a moderate bingle to my front end.
Had sovereign bullbar. Not worth a piece of shit in an accident as it made the car a whole lot worse as it folded up onto the bonnet only to crush it along with most of the internal engine bay. I will continue to support the prado brand and look at a new GXL 2011 D4D not sure on which colour yet, all depends on what is in stock. I will update this one with a lot more pics etc.

I forgot to mention. I am removing my drawers which I am keeping , I will have no need for the cargo barrier at this stage as it will not fit the new car. if someone is interested let me know and a reasonable price it could be yours. I am yet to pull all the remaining stuff out of the car. unfortunately the OME lift has to go with the car as i was unable to locate any spare to replace it with.

Hi mate. Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope your alright.

Have a look on eBay for stock suspension. Last time i was on there, there were a couple of sets on there.
