G'day guys,
Just wanted to introduce myself - my names Brad.
At the moment I have a Subaru WRX, that I am looking at trading in in the next couple of months. I am thinking that the 2011-2013 GXL will more than likely be my weapon of choice. This has many of the options I want, that will also fit into my price tag!!
I have a bit of experience with 4wding, owning a Hilux Surf, and now we have a Subaru Forester as our family car (gets as most places we want at the moment)
I have joined the forum to give me the best advice both before and after purchasing my new family toy.
Regards,
Brad

Model: Toyota Prado Diesel 120 Series
Year: 2003
Colour: Blue
Accessories: Double Battery, heated seats
Wishlist: To get rid of black smoke on hard acceleration
I am in Pakistan and love to off road, whenever I can. My vehicle has a 1-KD engine, and standard Prado equipment in it. It's a UK model. Just had the injectors, fuel tank, turbo serviced. Have not touched the pump yet, but that's on my list of things to do, as it smokes on acceleration and I am told that common rail engines should not do that. Looking forward to talking to all of you.
Regards
Faisel

Hi,
So I bought a used 2008 GXL turbo diesel over the new year. I'm sort of a 4x4 noob, so will be asking lots of questions.
Model: GXL D4D turbo diesel
Year: 2008 167,000kms
Colour: white
Accessories: Toyota bullbar and towbar, spotties, dual batteries (I'm not sure what else came with the car; still trying to figure out switches and batteries, etc).
Wishlist: suspension/lift kit; better tyres (fatties?); drawers; fridge; snorkel; winch; seat covers; amp meter; in dash 4x4 GPS... (the works! would love advice on priorities to get).
Managed to get it covered in salty mud soon after I got it. While washing started worrying about rust.
Read too much about injector problems with D4D diesels AFTER I bought mine and started worrying about THAT too... It runs fine and not blowing smoke though.

Welcome mate, worry about the injecters if & when they become a problem. Couplertec electronic rust prevention is the go in my opinion. otherwise just enjoy it.[B][COLOR="#0000CD"][SIZE=3]Cheers Steve VK2UD

Welcome guys, K It is worth the trouble of getting the injector feedback values checked so you can have a baseline. Was yours included in the injector seat replacement campaign from Toyota?My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic
