Had prado for about a month and lightforce lights were stolen.Luckily I insured the lights as an extra and was able to replace them.

Picked up a set of brand new roof rails from a mate that removed them off his prado 08 model as he replaced them with rack to carry tinny.
These rails weren't the easiest things to remove.
Damaged a few lugs on caps and had to replace them ,not cheap!

Just took mine off today and the front ones both shredded the same lugs(outside two on both), the rest came off fine. How much for the new front covers?

Rig is looking good

Hey Neil,

Front and rear ends were about $70 and small middle was around $40.

40L Engel


Tow ball cover
Got sick of replacing crome covers as the chrome keeps coming off.
So I painted an old chrome one and applied a ARB sticker.

I do a bit of industrial sewing so I made myself a first aid kit for the prado.
