    Man, that looks sweet. I particularly like what you have done with the wheels and bullbar, i hate the toyota bullbar and how it looses it shine.

      Nice rig. Powder coat or paint on the wheels? And how did you get a hold of 265/70/17 KM2s?

        Hey Tas,

        good looking prado. I have been wondering when i'd see black GXL wheels on a 120. looks good. i've see the GX wide steelies in black, but not the mags. I see heaps of the guys in the US black out the GXL wheels, they are a 'sport' option on the 4runners.

        i like the black bull bar too. just breaks up the white a bit.

        good list of practical mods. whats next on the list?

            Hey Hutch, this is my second prado and I too hated the way the bull bar kept dulling, Powdercoat yet the cost of taking Bull Bar on and off is pretty ridiculous.

              Powdercoated wheels and Bull Bar, yet i am putting some OZ wheels on soon and will paint as the wheels tend to get a bitt hammered of road and chip and paint is alot easier to maintain.

                Powdercoat but would paint if i did ever again, I am in the Tyre and wheel industry and import lots of wheels from USA and But direct form a Business Colleage, I am in contact with Michelin Australia and have reccomended they import this size as i know it would be very popualr with Prado Owners

                      Keep coming back to look at your vehicle as it is set up how I would like to do mine with the roof rack, snorkel etc. Not to sure of the black bull bar but the rims do look the goods. 8)

                      Any chance of some inside shots to show the inverter and how you have it set up?

                      Keep onto the tyre company over the tyres as I am sure there are quite a few Prado owners who would want a set of the BFG muddies.

                        One of the best looking 120's I've seen. Great combo of black bar, black wheels and red lights!

                            Best bet is to get them powdercoated. That'll last forever.
