Gday People

I got my 90 Series Toyota Prado Dead Stock, First things i put on was An ARB Touring Simpson 3 Rooftop Tent, ARB Awing and a Roof Basket on.



Now im bored of this set up and need something where i can mount LED lights, So i ordered a Rooftop Tent Roof Rack online the other day and should be here in 2-3 weeks, so for now i took the Rooftop tent and awning off so when the roof rack
comes i can mount it straight away.



I put a 12" LED light bar on the front for now until i get a bull bar, and i got some 9" 75w HID Spot lights, as well as some ARB Seat covers.






Heres a video of when i went for a quick 4wd on the weekend ( Please Click on Link here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbMG2RW01bI )

The TX670 is a great radio



I got a GoPro 3 to film all my 4wd trips i mounted it on the Windscreen - its Awesome and its very small so it can fit where ever you basically want

Today i was wondering about a Fire Extinguisher, i went out and got a small one to install in the Foot well - Here is some pics of it fully installed

Your fire extinguisher is well placed. (Much better than mine, which is shoved under the passenger seat)

Front Diff Breather
Needed some Diff Breathers in the Car, went out and got all the Stuff needed Cost me about $20 - $30

Parts -

-1/4" Male barbed brass hose fitting
-1/8th BSP - 1/4" Male brass hose fitting
- Cable Ties
-1/4" Fuel Hose
-2x Fuel filter
-Hose clamps






I only got around to fitting the Front Diff Breather today i was to busy to fit the back one, The Rear one should be completed by next weekend

You first pull out the old Diff breather and then put in the New brass Hose fitting with a Hose clamp around it.



Now that you done that you fit the Fuel Line to the other side of the Brass plug and put a Hose Clamp around it.




Now Just take the Fuel line all the way up where you want it, put the Fuel Filter on it and then cable tie the Fuel Hose down onto the car.
