Hi all.
I've been on pradopoint for a couple of months and not found this thread before so i thought i'd join in too.
I'm an electrician and my wife Jill and I run our own electrical contracting business in Dubbo NSW. (private msg me for quotes, etc) :lol: :lol: :lol:
Been married for 5 years & we have 3 boys - all keen 4WDriver's.
We reckon our 90 series prado is tops and have joined our local 4WD club.
This forum has been very handy so far and i can't see that changing anytime soon
See ya's out getting muddy.

Geeze I've learn't a lot from you guys. From what car deodoriser smells best in autumn to whacking in dual battery systems! It's all here!
I'm a chiropractor so I have virtually zero expertise in fixing and modifying 4wds, but I have to say its been fun so far.
My first car was a Datsun 200B, built the same year as me - 1979. I reckon I blew 46 fuses getting the cd player and speakers in. :?
From there I went to my sisters little Mitsubishi Colt. Needless to say I broke it and had to sell. Got $50 for it. :cry:
Then a mate said I should buy this Volvo. Said it would be a great car. Ummm... not good. :shock:
Then thought a subaru was the answer to my dreams. Picked up a 2005 Forester, drove it off the showroom floor. Thought I was the ducks guts. Then I got excited and drove it into Lake Glenamaggie in Gippsland. Had to get my girlfriend's pop to snatch me out. Guess what... he had a Prado.
Since that day my conscience has been saying; "Get a bloody Prado you silly lookin' bugger." So I got one last year.
Anyway, here I am.
