Hi all,
I ordered my new D4D GXL about 3 weeks ago. Very exciting to be getting my own 4wd after driving many for work. Hopefully the wait will not bee too long (dealer said end of April, we'll see).
Here is what I am getting:
Graphite 150 GXL Auto, Diesel
ARB Deluxe Which bar - colour coded
Safari Snorkel
Toyota Tow Bar
Toyota Roof Racks
Leather seat upgrade - keep wife happy and easier with little ones
Rubber mats
Rear rubber cargo mat
Tyre change = still undecided between BFG all terrains or Cooper St Max (advice welcome on these, including size options)!
Wish List:
2 inch lift kit - brand unsure
Fridge and storage set up
Dual battery set up
UHF radio and aerial
Driving lights
the list is endless
I haggled well to get the car at a great price and then walked into my local ARB shop and realised how much I could spend in there. If only the money was endless (it is not).
The reason for buying the prado basically came down to up sizing our family rig. Coming from a Liberty wagon with 2 kids under 2, it is very hard to travel without towing the box trailer for prams and the like. I drove everything and was sold on the prado first up. A bit more of an initial outlay, but looks like resale values are awesome.
Based in the Ballarat area in Vic, not sure if many PP members in this area. Thanks for the lurking advice over the past month as i was looking into my purchase. looking forward to creating a post on the 'my big rig' thread when i get the car.
cheers.
