  • Late Starter (Prado D4DT 150GX)

    Purchased 12 month old Prado 150GX D4D 3.0 litre Turbo Diesel 5 seater (white) at end of July 2013 with 26,900 km on clock.

    Came with deluxe (non-winch :sad ARB bull bar (standard black), IPF900XS driving lights, Kingsley Stepboards (as side steps not standard on 2012 Prado GX), Toyota rubber mats (front & rear).

    To date have added Toyota cargo mat, Toyota headlamp covers, Toyota bonnet protector (all considerably cheaper including delivery via eBay from actual Toyota dealers than purchasing from local dealer).
    Hayman Reese towbar including ECU unit, 7 pin trailer plug, Anderson plug wiring (installed on both vehicle & caravan).
    Tekonsha Prodigy P3 electric brake unit (via eBay, considerably cheaper that from elsewhere)
    ABR Sidewinder kits - battery cradle, isolator kit, electric brake harness, rear power outlet wiring harness (full kit), ABR dual battery monitor (original battery in original position is now auxiiliary battery, second battery installed is now cranking battery).
    Towbar & electrics installation all done by my son in law (qualified diesel mechanic).
    Purchased set of 4X17X6.5 alloy rims with Hankook 245/70R17 ATM tyres (done 1000 kms from another Pradopoint member), 1X17x6.5 alloy rim with Dunlop Grandtrek AT20s (brand new (complements the 3/4 worn identical tyres that were already on the vehicle including a never used spare) - yep, silly me now has 10X 17X6.5 alloy rims).
    Ilana airbag safe synthetic material seat covers (front & rear).
    AC-Pro Typhoon Air Compressor (twin head)
    Thule foot pack (X4) with 2 Aero bars (no good reason to add third bar at this stage), no roof rails installed as standard on 2012 Prado GX
    ARB Simpson III roof top tent (mounted on bars above) including annex (swings out to driver's side)
    ARB 2.5m awning mounted to roof bars (passenger side)

    Safari snorkel fitted a couple of weeks ago.

    Milford cargo barrier (dual position) fitted last week.

    Coming soon - GME TX3100 or GME TX3345 477 MHz 80 channel radio with GME AE4018K1 aerial
    - dual drawers to be built & installed by son in law with fridge slide on passenger side (already have 8yo Waeco Cool Freeze CF50)
    - reversing camera or screen with two cameras (one on rear of vehicle & one on rear of on-road caravan) - still researching this
    - recovery points (front) & recovery hitch

    Maybe in the future - swap deluxe non winch bullbar for winch version
    - GPS
    - installation of 2 inch lift kit

    Vehicle now has 39,400 km on clock.

      How did you find the ABR Sidewinder kits Red? Easy enough to install and parts of good quality?
