Howdy, Hobes is the name, and I am about to become a Prado owner. 2003 Grande. so I will be tryin to pick the Forum for answers before leaping in and making an ass of myself, cos I do hate having to answer the same questions over and over as is the likes of all forums.

so bear with me as I travel the forum and don't shoot me if I need to ask, be gentle OK...

Prado Grey Matter Trust, or PGMT as you will all be called.

so, I am now the proud owner of one 2003 Grande, so far driven it home from work and loved it... love the luxury fittout, compared to my old hunt truck Hilux deso on steroids.
after much reading and not much work, ooops, I have decided that a few mods will need to be carried out on my new toy.

1, new exhaust in 2.75s/s from Beaudesert, if they deliver to Sydney, or maybe a system built by Liverpool exhaust as they are just around the corner from me.
2 a Chip of some design, DP chip or Stein, still researching that.
3 Bullbar, of some degree. prefer steel with winch mountable.
4 hmmm, suspension? don't know about this one yet as I am still new to the Prado set up[, any remarks on that from PGMT would be helpful. I fitted my Hilux with 2 inch body lift, 2 inch springs, 2 inch shackles and then on top 33inch muddies, so she had plenty of clearance. don't think the Prado will be doing that somehow.
5 roof box for tools and mounting an awning.
6 Engle fridge

I already have a UHF fitted and I will have light bars from the Hilux sorted.

so, if you guys can think of anything else have any advise on any of the above, please don't be shy, chip in.

Thanks

Hobes
