Nice looking truck Hawke, good to see another pp that's also into archery :twisted: another expensive hobby. Myself I shoot a Hoyt Maxxis 31 60-70lb, great bow

Good work pal, looks great!

Just wondering I have been looking to up grade my exhaust also with the same mob in ringwood...Did you get the extractors done also or just the sports exhaust? and how much did it set you back?, if you don't mind me asking.

Happy Hunting

Newbie 4wd'r looking for ideas for mods on a 1999 Prado

I've just bought my 1st 4wd !! It's a 1999 Prado Snowy (petrol & auto) and is in pretty good nic for such an old car - was owned by an old bloke who towed a boat but never went off road. It's only done 134,000km's and I picked it up last week for $8,000 so I reckon I have a decent starting point with my voyage into the world of off roadin'!! Nothing has been touched yet and all I've done so far is remove the 3rd row of seats, so it's like a blank canvas ready for me to get creative!

I've seen hawks667's buildup post (http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...L-lots-of-pics) and was heaps impressed with that. Good job hawkesie!

Just wondering if anyone else has any buildup photos or other ideas they wanted to put up or point me towards? I'm in the process of planning the various mod's at a pace that I can afford.

I reckon my first task will be a drawer set behind the 2nd row seats, but I'm also thinking about taking the 2nd row of seats out and building a bed extension which would transform it into more of a campervan that I can crash in if needed. Most of the time it would be just me or 1 other but I want to make it so the 2nd row could be refitted if needed. Have looked into factory made ones but they cost way too much and I'm handy enough to build some. Any tips or close ups of drawers would be sweet!

If anyone has any ideas or photos they would like to share, it would be much apprerciated !

Cheers,

Benno

Hey Benno, you might be better off posting in another thread. These build up threads are normally kept for questions and pictures regarding a member's rig.

Hi Benno...Cheers mate....When i made my drawers, i made them the same height as the rear seats when they are folded down. The plan was i could lay the seats down & sleep in it. But with the cargo barrier, it hasn't happened, not even once...The swag gets the nod most of the time.

I glued & screwed all the Ply when i made mine, they have seen some rough trips & apart from one of the joins coming apart (re glued & screwed to fix), they have been good as. Also, line them with some rubber matting, it reduces the rattle of things so to speak...They look a bit different now though, need a good clean as my rear door seal is not exactly dust proof....lol...
