Nice one mate, I need to get out more but will have to replace my airbags first.

BTW, hows the winch holding up, getting a bit of use from it?

Other than the one day of major use nothing since - I thought I might get to use it to get the soft-roaders up Ten Pound Hill but it was easier to get the LC80 to drag them up

Got some new goodies today, first up an ARB 47L fridge with cover, slide and tie downs:

Next up a Rhino R42103B Pioneer Platform Rack - this is the Landcruiser model (wider than the Prado one):





Rhino have changed the design but not the instructions - instead of the large number of rivets they now use bolt on saddle clamps:

Thanks Joey, praise indeed coming from you

I've just fitted the awning with some temporary brackets (need to go to the steel shop to get something permanent) - pictures to come.

OK, so here's the awning - not much to see, it's just an awning



These are the temporary brackets, I need to get some more steel to make up some better ones and get them painted:

Having seen this rig (briefly) in the flesh, no doubt about it that its one of the best out there.

Just picked up the Prado from Toyotaways, Rockingham after its 150,000 service (done at 131,380). Once again, very happy with the service. It was more than originally expected as they carried out a fuel injector service due to excessive Carbon buildup - be interesting to see how it affects the fuel economy. I had been thinking of cleaning the MAF sensor but I'll see how this goes first.

Also noticed that changing the Pollen filter is now standard in the service.

I also picked up a pair of Hilux washer jets since everyone who has done the mod raves over it.

Just got home from work and did the cable tie method of changing the washer jets - two minutes later and all done

Now I know why everyone who has done this mod raves about it - what a difference.
