  • "Black Mamba is in the house"

    I waited three long months for my Black Prado. Best looking Prado on the street and I have seen some white pearl Kakadu but it does not set the scene, and yes it is going to be a school chariot and my day to day vehicle. When I get a bit of time off and after some ARB parts have been fitted that is when I will start thinking about spending a week or so driving to Cape York or the Alpine National Park. I am still waiting for the new ARB bar to accommodate the new lights.

    And yes ARB, thank you for bringing out the old bar from last year and making it out as the new bar. Why would you buy a Prado that look so good with the new lights (facelift) and hide the tear drop shape lights, its like re-building the 120 Prado and calling it the new facelift 150 Prado.

    This is what it looks like before it was ready for pick up:- Click image for larger version

              TJM bar looks better to me. Don't mind the wheels either.

                      Changed my mind about this... might just stick with a Platform Rhinorack and an RV5.

                        I will take a nicer picture tomorrow when I get the car tinted.

                        Decided to burn some km's with the standard tires that came with the car and then I will put some BFGoodrich ATs.

                          Those headlights must be 800mm long across the diagonal. Fashionable maybe but you would think now days with modern CAD design you could have a light the size of a saucer and get a good beam. Why are they getting bigger?

                            I drove mine at night just using the low beam and I am pretty happy with it. It would look really weird if they shrink the headlights down specially to a car like this. I believe the lights needs to suit the shape and size of the car, if Toyota shrinks the lights of the Prado they need to change the whole appearance of the Prado and they will probably end up changing the whole drive train, chassis etc. to suit the new style. You know what they say "if it's not broken don't fix it", If buyers out their don't like the reliability and off road capability that the Prado provides and that they are after "the new thing" maybe consider the new Click image for larger version

                            It's silly how people buy 4x4/SUV with tiny headlights and buy other driving lights and light bar for their vehicle, it defeats the purpose of having small saucer like headlights.

                              Next step is the bull bar, ARB vs TJM. Don't bring out a bar that hides the new tear drop shape light and make out it's for the GX and GXL and yes I am talking about you... ARB!
