Old members new rig thread sounds good to me.
Like Samo and others before ,time comes to move on from the Prados [14years 2 prados for me] for whatever reasons,but I will continue to view the PP site as i think it is the best forum on the web with a good balance between technical stuff and trips,campfire stuff and many great contributers. I guess it would be a bit like the Toyota Landcruiser club with members who own makes other than a Cruiser.
For me it is also the BT50 and will be doing a build up,which i could share.
Samo keep the build up going until the mods ban you, as i will be looking forward to it for ideas for my own . [also thanks for the pricing for the Fruit as it may help my cause]
cheers

well had a spare hour or so today so i was just stuffing around and tried a few place to mount the icom under the dash and it was very tight and without pulling half the car apart i ended up mounting the uhf in the glove box, and courier deliver some ebay weather sheilds, for $60 delivered i was very happy with the bang for bucks


just waiting for a few weeks so i can fully set it up and mount the antenna on the bullbar when i get it then i will probably look at one of those hold my phone brackets to mount the hand piece, seeing its a pain to put themn anywhere else. cheers samo

Looking real sweet there Samo, bet you cant wait to get it back home ?? .....Cheers Steve

[samo Addicted PP Member Find all posts View Profile Close samo]

yeah steve looking foward to getting it back later in the week. cheers samo

[rags Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close rags]

Samo you're just teasing me, the ute is looking good.
My order on the BT has been cancelled ,deposit refunded and still after week 4 wifes CX5 is not back from Mazda yet,new fuel pump fitted still not going. Getting thoroughly pissed off with Mazda . So at the moment I am back driving the Prado after cancelling the sale on that,trying to work out what to do,maybe might wait until the new Hi Lux is released early next year with a petrol motor.
Keep the pics coming just to annoy me
