Sorry guys havnt been on here for months ! Just really use fb and ig now for my car stuff..

cheers solar panels wiring straight down the pillar next to windscreen held on with sika flex inside split tubing

rhino makes noise isn’t as bad originally but with the solar panel and awning makes some noise now..

Yeah they’re great cars ! And yes so much on the market for parts.. Take your time and spend a little more if you can and do it right.. it’s annoying doing stuff twice and ending up spending more then you wanted



I feel my build built for what i want it.. nice and simple not to much nice and clean build does what I need and preforms when it needs too

Awesome looking build mate well done. Am picking up my own 2018 prado this week. Once I determine what has and hasn’t been done I’ll make my build up and go from there. It already has a couple of small things done rubber side steps etc but for a second hand with 43000 on the clock I’m not complaining. Taking a lot of hints and tips from your build like you I drove my parents prado and fell in love. So many options so many choices I’m looking forward to it.

Looks great mate. Love the solar install, well done.

Hey Gurilla that setup looks awesome!
Any noise from the Rhino Rack backbone and platform?
How did you run the cable from the solar to the dcdc charger?
Cheers

[Gurilla]

setup solar on the rack conected to the dcdc Charger full time now I can run the fridge 24/7

Looking great mate.

Haven’t been on PP much in last 6 months but looks like we are kitting ours out similarly.

Just ordered the same bar, winch and snorkel but am leaving mine black for that black/white combo and I also didn’t want to risk chipping/scratching the color coded bar (though I must say yours looks mint) and then it look bad in years to come.

Also just ordered a new camper trailer, so the next round of mods need to hold off for a few months but Kaon UVP is next with some stedi spots and a uhf.

Already fitted a zordo’s dobinsons lift kit and love the ride and look, though I now also need new UCA’s as the lift has maxed them out and they can’t not align the front end properly which I will do with tyres before our Uluru trip in April with the new camper that is due late Feb/early March.

Keep the pics coming mate loving the changes you have made.

Nice mate ! Takes time and money to build it! I went white to be different and I’m in wa so most white prados with black bull bars here are ex mining cars, paint is good actually lasts only issue I had when doing some trips is the bugs all over it.. looked like I hit a cow was covered in bugs and can see it a mile away !

kaon gear is such good quality mate you’ll be happy ! And also the gear I got off zordo is top notch too! I was considering the dobinsons also, mine was very high too maybe 4 inches at the front and they couldn’t get the wheel alignment perfect either l.. I got another wheel alignment about a month later when in for a service an it drove perfect... the suspensions settles after a few weeks... Then once I put my bull bar, winch, side rails steps etc it drives like a dream ! I cannot feel the weight at all! I checked the measurements off this forum and it sits perfectly at 2 inches now rear slightly higher not much.. and when I load it doenst drops like 5mm and car drives like a dream.. I’m litterly telling everyone how happy I am about the car and how it drives on long trips and off road..

only issue I have is I damaged the sway bar link on rear and makes a clunk sound when flexing hard or when they get wet

the snorkel makes a tiny sound like can hear it sucking and when it does dpf burns you can hear the induction sound

Nice!

Did you fit the rack yourself? I di toy with a flat rack sometimes, though I manage to get by with the Toyota racks usually.

Did you paint/plasti dip/powder coat those wheels yourself?

I keep toying with that idea.

Yeah fitted it my self the back bone is a little tricky I made up a Allen key to fit made it easier

my sisters a Painter, she painted them for me last year came up good but I did scratch one when I did a trip few months back
