I am about to update our 2005 GXL with either a new GXL or SR5 hilux.
Can anyone comment on how transferable accesories are between the 120 and 150 series? Items that i could transfer are:
air bags in rear springs
bash plate under the engine
roof racks.
Could i buy a new 150 series, take its stock suspension and install it in my 120 series, and then install the 2in lifted springs, shocks and struts from my 120 into the new 150?

air bags in rear springs Yes as long as both vehicles are lifted (or not lifted). Airbags have specific length as to whether the vehicle is lifted or not. Both vehicles must have the same type of lift.
bash plate under the engine No
roof racks. What type? The ones that fit onto the north south rails? If so, the feet aren't compatible. If mounted directly to the roof, then no.
Could i buy a new 150 series, take its stock suspension and install it in my 120 series, Maybe
and then install the 2in lifted springs, shocks and struts from my 120 into the new 150? Yes

@ Andyfive... my mates got a graphite altitude, and it is full of aftermarket parts (looks awesome).
Stick with the graphite if your planning to go bush a lot. 4WDs are meant to be dented/scratched/ banged etc.
The only reason why I went for an Ebony Prado because every time one drives pass me or overtakes me I end up staring at it, now... I want the public to do the same when I do it. It's a real head turner!
