Hi SS, Very nice rig, had a dual cab diesel SR5 before the Prado and loved it, boss made me get the Prado, which I love, but miss the ute. What's the red tank in the back, are you running lpg injection on the Diesel? Jas
Correction, I have it Sussed it's a water tank. Very nice.

 

[Stone Stomper]

Cheers Jason the red tank is an 18lt air tank fed from an ARB air compressor and the black tank next to that is a 55Lt water tank.

And our boat loader using the winch on the car.

I saw the water line and thought that's the flashest water tank Compressed air and water tank very good mate, you've done a lot of work, Brisbane 4x4 and tinny show on this weekend, http://www.4x4show.com.au/brisbane/ can't wait, bloke heaven! You ever thought of displaying at these shows? Love the stomper

Trucks are looking good, Ranger/BT 50s to take over the world I think.

Dont worry about the bush pins stripes too much just keep the wax up, Iam floored at what polishes out of the Paj after using that Meguiars Canubra wax. Best product I have ever used.

Looks good spot Moto, where's that?

Thanks for the wax tip Jim:biggrin-26:

The last photo is the camp ground at Newnes near Lithgow. It was just a boys 4wding/tenting only weekend, but easily accessible with the Expanda. I know Molong Mick has been there with his expanda. I hope to take my expanda back there one day, just beautiful.

Ha Ha, you are right mate, the water crossing was from the High Country meet from late last year. Bonus points to you

Christian that new Lux of yours looks awesome! Have you noticed much difference from your previous model?
P.S. I have put my stone stomper through hell on my Tassie trip last year, damn good thing it is.

Just for you expanda, i have dug out some photos of my baby, the 100 series cruiser. It is a 98 GXL 4.5l petrol auto. I bought it as a clean slate from a doctor in melbourne. Since I brought it I have added:

• TJM T13 bull bar
• ARB under bonnet air compressor
• IPF driving lights
• towbar
• UHF
• 2" dobson and tough dog lift
• safari snorkel
• long range fuel tanks
• dual rear wheel carrier
• full length roof rack
• awning
• Cargo Barrier
• drawer system
• Codan radio.

I think I have listed it all.

Cheers MotoMoto, no only cosmetic changes which is a good thing in one way as the canopy, side steps rear bar and most of the accessories now have been on three of them since our first one in 05 but the down side is they are now way behind the rest of the utes on power and transmission.

We are hoping to buy a 200LC at the end of the year but need to save the $

2012 GXL Prado D4D

This is her in January 2013


This is her now after a few mods

 

[chartrock]

Very nice.

 

[Moto Moto]

Nice Prado Andrew, i love seeing them all kitted out like that

 

[Holden_man]

I might be a Holden man, but i love my Prado. getting her prepped for a Central Australia trip and down the Oodnadatta Track.
Got it back yesterday with the first of a few mods, Colour Coded ARB Deluxe Bar just have to convince the Minister for war and Finance to add more.
Love the new ARB Deluxe Bar. UHF radio, snorkel and Maybe some driving lights to come, subject to approval
Got a bit Dark this afternoon so sorry about the pic quality. Will take some better ones soon.

 

[achjimmy]

Looks great, love the deluxe bar. Ordered mine last week, painting is apparently taking 4+ weeks!

Ism the reverse, had a few Toyotas but currently got a 99 rodeo DC 4X4 and its pretty good, yeah I know Isuzu really, but badges Holden!

 

[Holden_man]

Thanks Jim, really happy with the quality of the ARB, didn't mind the TJM but wasn't a fan of the Dame Edna look with TJM on Prado's, just personal preference.

Nothin wrong with a Holden Badge on an Isuzu. I like the Dmax's also.

 

[achjimmy]

Mate the Paj is gone so the Rodeo is "my ride" for now!

 

[cruza driver]

Very nice HM looks the part mate :thumb:

 

[Burnsy]

Some very nice looking rigs there! My pajero looks too stock to put up here I recon. My first mod will be suspension and then maybe a bar, but apart from that I've only chipped it, polyairs and awning. I would love to put drawers in back and fridge slide but I know my wife wouldn't like that as she uses the rear seats at times.

I don't know about you guys but every time I wash her (pajero) it seems to have a few more marks on it......I've stopped worrying about it now! I guess you get that being the wife's drive car and carting kids around.

How much better do the prados look with the bullbar! Love the look of both cars.
