Hi all

Bought the 2005 Prado a couple of weeks ago after 12 years faithful service from the Terracan v6.
I was looking for Diesel and long fuel range. That spells Prado or Troll. I went for Prado.

We'll be towing a camper trailer on our holidays and weekend escapes.

No plans at this stage for any mods to the running gear.

We're setting up:

• Dual Batteries with an AGM 100 AH as the auxilary
• Electric Brake Controller
• Anderson Plug at the back for the camper
• A set of drawers in the back
• Drop down Fridge Slide
• Codan 9350 Antenna Tuner mounted on the spare wheel carrier. Home brew mounting bracket.
• VHF Antenna on the bullbar, two metre rig mounted next to my left leg
• Icom 706Mk11G will be mounted on the cargo barrier behind the rear seats
• Did I mention the cargo barrier? Picked it up for $80 from FleaBay. Or was it Gumtree?
• Full length roofrack is next. Shopping around now.
• Wiring the auxiliary sockets via the aux battery
• Running a decent cable into the back for the fridge and other stuff. Anderson Plugs.
• Bought a decent compressor

I'll post some pics soon

cheers
