It all started in the late 80's with my urge to get out amongst it and with a lot of ARB and custom work, the shorty was born.
The sickness kind of started here and had many awesome trips and did a lot of places that are now closed (like the Great North Convict Road) with this tough old truck.
That ended in the mid 90's but Ive been craving to get back into a 4WD.
The Prado seemed the only choice really as something to be my daily ride and be able to get out amongst it on the weekends and it fitted the bill perfectly.
I wasnt looking for a Grande but when this beauty came along in mid April with 100k of suburban living I couldnt pass it up.
The perfect blank canvas......perfect
And so far
Ill keep updating this and the pic to match the current state
