I know. Everytime I read something on this site i'm thinking, I need one of those too...
Spotlights first...
Just stick to the standard line .....
... all those hours spent on PP are considered research into keeping your family safe ..... and any money spent on the Prado is purely for her safety :lol: :lol: :lol:
My name's Theo, Been watching for a while and thought I better introduce myself, I'm 40, married with 2 kids. live in Melbourne and own a small cafe. 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.

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.
Hiya all
Finally decided it was time for a 4x4 and after a painstaking 3 months a Prado is now the only name on the shopping list and as I sold the war offices commodore today i better make it quick :twisted:
Looking for 05/6 glx or vx petrol and after reading too many post I have a rather long list of accessories and mods to add.
Cant wait to get it dirty and hopefully meet some locals who share my love of mud
