    2nd mod was replacing the BFG's with Bridgestone Dueler D697LT 265/60/R18 to comply with VicRoads regs :-


    Didn't cost me anything and I got new tyres out of it but it still hurt losing the BFG's.

        3rd mod was getting the dealer to swap out the factory short mudflaps for the re-designed longer ones (no cost to me) :-

          Thanks, it took a while to grow on me but now I think it look's great and so different from all the Toorak Tractors around here.

                    Don't worry, I'm working him round. After all we do need something to go with the recovery kit I've ordered.

                      Well I have the recovery kit and the winch now I just need to get it all fitted!

                      I went with the Tigerz11 Grande 12,000lb winch at $639 on special. While I was at Tigerz11 I also grabbed a winch dampener and rear hitch receiver and shackle, got both for $55. The recovery kit is the XTM branded one from Ray's at $199.

                        Managed to find time today to fit my Protective Plastics Headlight Protectors, they are model T355H for the 150. It's relatively straightforward, just have to fit some clips and line it all up right. There's a small velcro dot in the outermost corner to fasten the far edge to the light since a clip in that spot isn't feasible, alcohol swabs are supplied to prep the glass before sticking that down. I will post some pics so you can get an idea of how the mounts work, not sure if it's the same system the Toyota genuine ones use.

                        Label (protectors come in a plastic bag stapled up to this):


                        Top clip, driver's side (small screw and nut hold the clip to the cover and one end of the clip has a hook in it to clip over the flange behind the lens. You have to lift up the plastic trim over the radiator to access the flange but I didn't have to remove anything:

                        Note the metal clip goes on the underside of the plastic, not over the top.

                        Bottom clips, driver's side (They are F shaped, the top part of the F clips onto the cover in line with some small holes pre-drilled through the bottom edge of the cover):


                        The end result with the bonnet closed. If you look closely you can see the velcro dot on the underside of the outer-most corner of the cover:


                        Still tying to find time to have a go at the winch install sigh, one day!

                          Did the KDSS lean start when you put the steel BB on?

                            The bar was on the Prado when I bought it. I haven't checked to see if there is a lean, I'm not sure how people measure this.

                              OK, it's been a while since I've updated the thread but a few things have been done since my last post.

                              Fitted the TG150 Transfer Case guard at the Vic Tech Day on the F1 GP Sunday (takes a bit to make me give up watching the race LOL). The job was made very easy by the use of #############'s hoist and workshop plus some very helpful fellow Vic PPers. Will try and ad some pics but Brains' excellent installation guide has all the step by step stuff anyway.

                              Fitted the Tigerz11 Grande 12,000lb winch with rope on the same day. Didn't do the electrics as the control box cables were too short for our chosen location. I have just picked up the modified box from the auto electrician today. I haven't opened it up yet but looks to be a good job with all the cables replaced and not just extended with joiners/crimping. Hopefully won't be too hard to get the box mounted and wired up now.

                              I'm waiting on some new springs for the front, going with Dobinsons. I'm keeping the factory shocks for now, not ready to lose the in-cabin adjustment just yet.

                              That's all for now, still it's progress.
