Got our Prado 2 years ago and have slowly been doing little bits and pieces to it. Hooked on this site, and I must admit I've gotten some great ideas off it. We have traveled most of the east coast, Victorian high country, and a little of the top end. Love all things outdoors whether it be on land or water. Only problem is not enough days in a weekend to do it all, but we are working on that and should be right in about another 20 years with some luck.

Hi all,
My name is Andrew, and I want to give a big thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum. This is my first post but I have been reading this site for a while now. The information here is fantastic. It helped convince me that getting a Prado was the right decision for our new car purchase, as a vehicle for carrying a family of 5 to all of the places we want to go.
And now that our new GXL auto Prado is sitting in our driveway (arrived today) I am even happier with that decision
Thanks again to you all, and I hope I can contribute in some small way in the future as well.

G'Day,
Finally gettting around to introducing myself. Gary is the name.
Model: Grande (Petrol)
Year: 2004
Colour: Silver
Accessories: Tyre Pressure Monitor; Dual Battery Setup; Various additional accessories plugs; rear light for reversing etc; cargo barrier; fire extinguisher
Wishlist: ARB Bullbar; winch; suspension upgrade; driving lights; mud tyres etc etc etc.
We tow a Kimberley Kamper when we go away.
BTW, this is a great site, mainly becuase there is none of the argy bargy, slander, mocking, "i know better than you" attitude that fills the posts on exporeoz and many other site. Long may it remain the case.
All praise to the moderators.
GaryComment
