  • Rich's 2009 150 VX

    Hey Guys,

    I've been a long time follower who had a 120 serries company car a fair few years ago. This was replaced with a Hilux and now due to a promotion and my own car allowance I have been able to purchase the car that I always wanted. A prado that I could call my own.

    I had my heart set on a SWB as I'm moving to Sydney and thought it would be perfect. After some failed neogations with dealers I managed to grab a 2009 VX with 120,XXX on on clock for $39,000.

    The car was in great condition with no issues and a perfect service history. It came with the ARB bulbar and factory Towbar.

    Getting there (well I've done a lot but haven't updated the thread. Will do more posts over the next week or two.

    Fitted my Rhino Pioneer Platform. I went with the backbone system as i need my car to be under 2m to park in the city. I picked it up for $1089 due to the 20% at Autoone. I also had a Safari Snorkel fitted a few weeks ago.

      Replace the factory head unit with a Kenwood unit with apple car play and DAB radio. Also added a Bury IPhone cradle mounted my UHF mic and added a dual battery monitor. I ended up with RFI antenna's with removable whips to help with car parking in the City.

          Finished also wiring up my Dual Battery System. I went with a Redarc BCDC 1225, Piranha Battery Tray. 100 Amp Hour Deep Cycle Battery. I've also paired it up with Bluesea Safety Hub to avoid having a million fuses hanging off the battery. I have run 6B&S twin core wire down each side of the car. In preparation for the 12V work in the back of the car. I wired up the BCDC with the Solar Relay kit and have a red anderson plug under the bonnet so I can add a solar panel at a later date.

            Looking good! What are your thoughts on the Black Widow drawers?

              Thanks. Pretty happy with them. I brought them second hand so I saved quite a bit rather than buying new. Otherwise I would have brought a Drifta setup.

                I was going to go with the Drifta drawers, but someone is selling a set of Black Widows for $1000, so I thought I might pocket the $600 difference and put it towards a fridge.

                  That's what I did. Happy with the result. They are built well.

                    Excellent

                    What size fridge will fit comfortably on top? would I be able to get away with a 50 litre or above?

                        I finally wired up my Stedi 42" Light bar. I have paired it with some Light force Genesis 50W HID Lights. I brought them a while ago and was running one spread and one spot. Have converted them to both be spots and I'll use the light bar for the spread. I the wiring loom behind the trim in the windscreen.

                        Overall pretty happy. No real glare other than my Antenna's. (If only RFI made matte black instead of gloss





                        Oh and also added a Pradopoint sticker!

                          Try putting heat shrink over the glossy bit of the antenna to get rid of the glare.

                            I might be blind, but where do we buy the pradopoint stickers?

                            Looking great! I wish WA laws allowed us to mount lightbars to the roof

                              A few more mods to check off the list. I managed to grab a near new Warn XD9000. I replaced the steel wire with some Dyneema and fitted the warn aluminium fairlead. Had to purchase the ARB Spacer kit to make it fit and then pack it out with some rubber washers to get the fairlead out enough not to rub on the side of the bar. Also put on some ARB UVP.



                              I also had the bullbar replaced last month after I was rear ended and push into another car. The repairer cut my antenna cables instead pulling the cables through the firewall. They have agreed to replace them so I will get the all black springs instead of chrome springs with black antennas.
