  • Hi all,

    I've been a member for a little while now, lurking away while I was researching what to buy. I've really appreciated all the good info on this forum, especially when I was trying to find out whether the D4D was a good thing or not. So I'm now the owner of a silver 2008 D4D 120 series GX with option pack 2. It's pretty standard except for an ARB dual battery setup and a Prodigy trailer brake controller. It's a bit of a change for me - previous wagon was a 4.8 GU Patrol on lpg. I'm now enjoying the greater range Its main purpose is going to be touring, but I want it to be capable enough to take me into the Victorian Alps as well (we moved to Wangaratta not so long ago) so there is some work to be done. Looking forward to building it up!

        • Welcome on board. Have a look through the general sections of each series (90, 120 & 150) and the trip reports. Lots of information in there that you are looking for.

            -2002-2003 Nissan 720 4WD ute.
            -2016 Prado yay...

            Picked it up Friday after ages looking for a clean one, was actually looking for a auto GXL with bar, this one has never been off road and was in fantastic condition with the exception of knackered tyres apparently removed when traded........
            Very happy with it and will be looking to take it off road this weekend to ensure all buttons/4WD aids etc work on an easy track.
            This forum has helped me greatly in narrowing down which 4WD to get. Thanks to all for your info and wisdom on this site.
            Pics eventually.

            • Hi all

              Picked up my first Prado today! Drove a GX around NZ on our hols in January and was hooked. Been watching this forum for a while and has been really helpful in taking the plunge to get one…...

              Model - GXL 2.8L TD
              Year - 2016
              Colour - White
              kms: 18 kms (delivery kms only so far!)
              Accessories: Just the factory stuff such as tint, bonnet protector, headlamp protectors, rubber mats and tow bar.

              Future mods / wish list:
              Gonna have a go at fitting Tins UVP on Saturday, which I picked up earlier in the week, and hopefully get myself some roadside recovery points fitted next week.
              Got loads of other stuff I’d like to do but will take some time……it’s going to be fun!

                • Now up to 13000km on the Prado including 2 interstate runs. Towed a 7x5 trailer full of push bikes and gear and with 6 people on board for a week recently still got a bit over 10lt/per 100km admittedly not much weight in the trailer bit over 1 tonne. Fitted Redarc electric brakes which work well, now to start looking for other extras as time and money permit. Love the Prado so far.

                    • Hi all,
                      Picked up a 98 Prado GXL, man v6 about a month ago. 370###k's on it but was very well priced, has a bit of gear on it, and an inch thick of receipts going back to 2002.
                      Haven't had it off road yet apart from a bit of a play on some tracks in the state forest near me a couple days ago.
                      Been playing with cars for years, mostly Toranas, and this is my first 4x4. Looking forward to taking it out a bit when time permits.
                      Cheers, Collo

                          Hi all, I joined up a little while after deciding to purchase our Prado, first post though. Love the site, insightful and heaps of great ideas and advice.

                          Model: 150 GXL
                          Year: 2016

                              Here's hoping lol.
                              For the price, if I get a couple of years bush bashing out of it, I'll be happy
