Hi there,
I have a 2003 diesel prado that has done a bit of off road stuff all of which has been with little modification and stock tyres. We've been through the High Country, Fraser Island and around Cape York. The biggest problem I've had so far (apart from bits of plastic coming loose and falling off) is clearance, so am seriously considering splashing out on a lift kit. I've also got some issues with towing our 23ft/1800kg trailer sailer but I'll save that for another thread.
We are about to change jobs and move from FNQ to SA. We have acquired an "off-road" campervan (as opposed to campertrailer) and plan to take the long way down to our new home over about 4 months.
Currently we have:
I plan to get:
New tyres - seems that BFG ATs and Cooper STs are the choices?
Recovery points
Considering lift kit/new shocks
What other essential bit(s) of kit should I acquire for such a trip. I'm sure there have been a million threads on this very topic, but I can't seem to feed the search engine the right words to make them come up. Advice or links to info would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Bill
