welcome mate. We all want it all but unfortunately few have deep enough pockets but this is a great place for tips on what and where to get your bits

G'day all!

Thought I'd best join up after the weeks of research and invaluable information this site has given me. Just awaiting delivery of our Silver '15 GXL and getting bloody impatient particularly with the 4x4 and Caravan show in this weekend (credit card will be smoking by the end of it no doubt). Out of the show room, she'll have genuine tow bar, full rubber mats including cargo, tint and a snorkle. For the rest of the stuff, there'll be a build thread for sure.

I swear, every hobby seems to get more expensive and forums are no help with that. (getting sideways looks from the MFWAF across the couch as we speak). But on the other hand....

Hi all,

Another newbie that has used this site as a great resource to assist in buying a new Prado, took delivery last night so feel I can finally join.

A quick intro, the name's Andrew, I'm 32, a car nut and have a '71 Valiant hardtop, '74 Valiant Charger and a '68 Dodge Charger. Growing up I had a full blown obsession with Land Rovers and 4x4s in general, which made way for the Chrysler obsession for the last 15 years. Stoked to have finally have the chance to get right back into the 4x4 scene.

Scored a new 2014 plated white GX Prado with the 6-speed after many months of looking at overpriced secondhand ex-fleet cars (not much privately owned stuff to choose from when you just want a GX). Buying new was only a few $k more.

Have spent the last couple of years looking at base model 100 series Cruisers but came to realise the 150 Prado really ticks all the boxes, looking forward to getting up north on some big road trips. Have not posted a pic as it looks like every other white GX Prado out there currently!

Welcome Laxy & Drift!

Call the bank and get the papers started for a second mortgage - this place will have you spending in no time!

Welcome Laxy. It may be the wrong forum, but I wouldn't mind seeing photos of the Chargers & hardtop.

Cheers guys, mods please delete if too off topic but here's pics of the Mopars:

Nice collection you've got there Andrew.

[AJ120 Out of control poster! Find all posts View Profile Close AJ120]

Nice Mopars, personally I prefer the earlier ones though, always wanted an S or R series, even know where one is I could buy but the Missus thinks I already have enough toys

Cheers Andrew

Thanks, yeah I'm really pushing it with the missus now we've got the Prado on top of the 'toys', need to investigate chucking them on club rego methinks.

I'm more into the muscle car era stuff but do love the shape of the R and S Series.

Welcome to PP.

G'day fellow toy drivers.

Old member but just making posts now after nearly 3 years.

95 series Snowy GXL, 205,000 km on the clock
Tanzanite Blue
TJM Alloy powder coated Bar, Bilstein Shocks, Lovells springs H/D all round, 694 Duelers

Not much on the list eh!!
Snowy has been off the road for the last 3 years , explains the lack of posts from me. Had an electrical fire, wiped out the Fusebox, Battery, Charcoal Canister etc and localised damage to wiring loom and paint on the bonnet. Bought her for 17,000, written off by the insurance co so I bought her back as the damage looked bad but really was minimal. Buyback off the ins company was 1800, been running back on road for the last month and NO probs at all. 970 for electrical work and new battery, 852 for full mechanical insp and new part replacements, 90 for reg insp + rego. I must have the cheapest 95 series prado on the road.
Looking for some new spotties to replace the little Narva cheapies.

Wouldn't mind a reply to my post looking for some sound advice regarding this: New Driving lights.... What the Hella, 170 something views and not one reply to any of the questions I have.

Hi Guys... So these are a few snaps from the last trip to Mt Mee... 3 cars went: my pride and joy Prado, a Pajero and a kitted out Patrol.
Hill descent, Prado didn't flinch, the others got stuck... lolz
Although the patrol with its muddies and 2" lift did go down a path or 2 where i was not gonna risk it!
