You are looking at one happy camper! I picked it up this arvo at which tim the heavens opened and haven't stopped since. I am busting to get out there to look it over.. I will have to settle for sitting inside it at checking out the manual. Or her in doors' car could be relegated to the driveway.. don't like my chances there though.

I can't believe what a woos I was. Took my kid to little athletics and was dismayed to see that it was a dirt carpark.. I got my shiney new tyres dirty already ;-)
Its OK they come off tomorrow and the Coopers get refitted for the remainder of their life.. about another 50,000 I reckon!
Oh and by the way, they had to disconnect the reverse sensors due to a fault.. they would only do a constant beep and not a variable. Know issue I know and I tried to tell him that it is probably just one dodgy sensor as reported elsewhere in here. But he said Tech Support had told them to replace the whole unit. So that will be done at the first check up.
Also got a week or so wait until Out of Town have the bar, winch and snorkel.. Decided I am going to go with OME this time for the suspension. I've been a Koni / King convert for a long time and never thought I would go back to OME but after reading some of the reviews here I think its worth another go.
Oh and another thing.. If there is a Red 90 series owner on here that drove down the F3 at about 7am this morning like a bat out of hell, tailgating and flashing people that were already speeding... watch your letter box mate, there will be something coming within a couple of weeks for you.PhilComment

Congratulations pshenton! We had the Coopers fitted at the dealership. We got a really good trade in on the Grandtreks. The car looks so much better with the Coopers. Enjoy the Prado....rain, hail (hopefully not), or shine!

Can I ask lacey what trading on the grand treks you got?Originally posted by LaceyComment

Good one PShenton,
I have yet to work out a deal to get rid of the Grandtreks I can't call them crap because I haven't tried them before. Would love some BFG AT's 70's have used on both past 4wd's but not legal in QLD
Enjoy the new truck

Hi all, Newb here.
Ordered a new prado GLX manual D4D charcoal,3 weeks ago. Won't see it till at least January :x Very frustrating but no other option although I have been told there is a white one arriving next month if I wanted it, but I will wait for the one I want.
I am planning on an ARB colour coded bullbar, IPF driving lights, Dual battery system (maybe rotronics indipendant system), Hayman Reece towbar, air compressor, not sure of winch at this stage.
I want to get a suspension lift (2") but so much info is avaialable I am unsure which way to go. I have read lots of little bits about ATS on this forum, can someone please explain the difference of these guys system to a normal bilstein/lovell system??
Oh by the way, I live in Darwin, not many others from this part of the world on here I am sure.Comment

I have organised a 2pm pickup tomorrow, how am I going to sleep tonight.
Congratulations Pshenton on your new arrival. I wish I was changing tyres but just can't justify it here in Adelaide. I'm also curious to see how the Grandtreks perform given some reviews lately from Fazza.
Anyway got a bit of catching up to do on the posts, you guys just don't let up, will post some before and after pics. Booked into ARB next Wednesday for colour coded bullbar and snorkel, already got the sandgrabba mats and michelle's sacs rear seat cover and organiser.[B]Cheers

Hello Hoppy50,Originally posted by hoppy50
We ended up getting the dealer to do the swap and got $215 for each GrandTrek tyre. We ended up paying $340 for 5 new Cooper Discoverer ATR's. We did have a quote of $220 each tyre on trade in from someone local to us, but by the time I had driven 50km to him from the dealership, they weren't considered new anymore, so the trade in would have been different.

Yes Xmas will be fun this year though will be busy with dual batteries and other stuff to put in ohwell no rest for the wicked they say.
Just glad I put my money down in time to make the November cut off instead of waiting for my employer on lease company to compete the paper work.

Finally lifted the bonnet on mine tonight. I couldn't believe that it has a 10/07 compliance plate. Not bad for an August order! There is hope yet for those still waiting. It may come quicker than you expect. Now where I have heard that before?
