Just for the record ,which side of the possum do i shave ? And what sort of razor works best ? Electric or cut throat ? Can you buy pre shaved possums ? Any information would be greatly appreciated

kav are you sure you don't drive a kaka??

Which side......the outside of course.
What razor......well I find a good disposable works best, the electric just doesn't give that super smooth finish, and a possum who doesn't really want to be shaved is WAY to feisty to attempt using a cutthroat on.
Pre shaved possums.......hmmm that's a good idea, nothing says "prepared for anything" like having a pre shaved possum in your glovebox at all times.

Cheers

I'd say a "Grande latte" counts for sure!!! After all it's just the older brother to the "PooPoo". You guys need to start a new gang, you could be the "Grande Kakas".......aka the "Big Poo" gang.
Smartbars are also an option if you want to go "FULL LATTE"

edit: ah Steve you beat me to it lol

I'm still waiting for Jasen to paint his Smartbar Maxtrax orange. So the water barrels can see him coming and roll out of the way...

He will also need one of these to complete the look.

Who is Fred and why would you bolt him to the roof? Orange is the SMART choice...

[jss Moderated member Find all posts View Profile Close jss]

I have a strict color scream for the kaka silver and black. SCA have a 20% sale today I might get some black Freds to bolt on the roof.

Jasen slavery has been abolished for quite some time so i'm affriad if you want some Black Freds to get you out of boggs you will have to keep them in the glovebox with the possum so the general public cant see them. Or at least put them in a hessian bag before strapping them to the roof.

S.W.M.B.O...... I not have one,
I have a W.I.F.E

JAMES my good man you have skill and regardless of current Prado model I propose you membership of the kaka club if Steve will second.

Jasen I know I only have a lowly Altitude but I did go for some of the more civilized options on top.

Jimbo I'm in WA now so not an issue.

But seriously Jim think about it, shaved possum and Fred's in a confined space, that's not going to end well!
The possums going to get eaten or worse and your back to rubbing your stick to get your fire going.

You're right!! BUT maybe you could get lucky and in 9 months time you could end up with a litter of half bald, black Frossoms.......... Now that would really be a sight, and boy they'd get you out of a bog fast, plus you'd never have trouble starting a fire again.

James I LOVE your work, can you post a build up for the latte machine install?

It's actually a very exclusive option package from Toyota, they will in fact deny any knowledge of said options existence until you prove you are worthy. To pass the test you must present the dealer principle with a half shaved possum gift wrapped in a yellow bow while performing the secret handshake, then and only then may you request the "Starbucks" package.
Along with the latte maker you also get a fresh muffin baking machine neatly tucked away in the glovebox, an automated shaved possum feeder in the back, and the drivers foot peddles have fluffy slippers built into them. The rest of the goodies i'll leave as a surprise for when you get the package fitted.

Hopefully tonight I won't be killed in my sleep by Toyota ninja assassins for revealing this secret information. If still alive tomorrow i'll teach you the handshake so you can aquire this package for yourself.


Cheers

Geez guys, I leave you to play together for a few hours and you have a latte prototype machine installed. By the way....I love it.
And how was my day thus far? Thanks for asking. Well, try as I might I couldn't get bogged due to 4ft high seaweed banks on the beach, however, I did duct tape a pair TREDS to my boots and went for a walk on the seaweed.....didn't get bogged once.

Glad you've had a nice day confusing Swmbo about you level of sanity. But your adventures today beg the question......Are the Treds (not to be mistaken with Freds) really an effective tool or is Seaweed the real secret to your not getting bogged while walking?? Should we abandon all recovery gear and just carry a big bunch a seaweed around with us??
You need to do some testing tomorrow, for the first test I think you need to duct tape some seaweed to your feet and then walk on some Treds. If you don't get bogged, that then proves that seaweed is as effective as Treds, and therefore probably as effective as any recovery gear.

Hey Jason, even I have admit that this is the weirdest thread, but at at least it's ours and we are not annoying anyone else or hijacking a thread and going off topic.

Really?? I thought this was one of the most informative and relevant threads for Prados, 4wding & camping ever started. Nowhere have I ever come across as many deeply kept secrets revealed to help the less experienced adventurers in one place.

And, James has my stamp of approval to join the Kaka latte group, I do feel the Kaka latte club is more than just having a Kaka, it is about the wit the exclusive members possess.

Damn I love that latte machine in your Altitude James.
I would like the Starbucks package as well.

Thankyou kindly for your most distinguished stamp of approval, you have moved me deeply and I will amend my sig immediately. I shall also send you the instructions for the secret Toyota handshake along with a half shaved possum so you may apply for the "starbucks" package.

edit: Also thanks for the nomination Jasen.
Cheers
James

Welcome to Kaka Latte Club, you will regret it you know, You have the Prado Attitude, I mean Altidude and thus you choose to be exclusive, . Hey James..since you have the Altitude, I mean Altitude, if you have or get a lift kit does that mean it is high Altitude? And if so, I hope you carry oxygen onboard, don't want you passing out from hypoxia.

Great idea about the seaweed testing and I am happy to report that maxtrax and TREDS are rubbish, I strapped 2 , 4 cubic ft of seaweed to my boots and walked all over TREDS, I did not get bogged once, and I never once burnt any seaweed lugs off neither.
There is one problem though, my new seaweed recovery devices have been taken over by my shaved latte drinking possum.

Hey Jason, I have some very very disturbing news....it has been raining really heavy down here on the coast, and whilst out and about running down possums the Kaka got covered in ( god I can barely type this next word) MUD!!. YES mud, you heard correctly. I had to have a few hits on my inhaler to calm myself. Swmbo asked if I was OK as I had turned a few shades of grey. Lucky that I carrry a bucket and detergent with me, and the possum makes a great sponge, well the unshaved half does.


And going back a few posts I see #### saying he has a wife not a swmbo...yeah right, his wife is so good #### doesn't even know she is swmbo, as sdhe let's him believe he is in charge. I kinda feel sorry for the delusional ####.

Pass the sugar will you chaps.

Cheers
Steve

Steve Steve Steve Never ever let a half shaved possum have caffeine! My god man you are lucky to be alive! Have you seen the size of those little bastards pupils? They are already twice the size of a teenager at a rave party, they are just naturally high so they really cant handle any added stimulants, Why else do you think the little buggers like lighting fires.....because they're frigging nuts!!!
Anyway That's great news about the seaweed maybe we could cover the Black Freds with seaweed and they would be twice as effective. There could be a serious business enterprise here.
Thankyou for the warm welcome to the KLC and i'm sure the regrets will be outweighed by the shenanigans and brain damage we can cause along the way.

Jesus MUD enough to chill the bones of the toughest Kaka owner. Are you ok now mate, did you manage to get it all off.

The funniest thing happened to me I had a little nana nap and woke up in scold sweat. It was horrible. I dreamed that I popped into SCA to pick up a half shaved possum, would have settled for an unshaven one and done it myself but they had nothing. I explained to him all the stuff you could do with it, he was very interested and said he's going to get some in and see how they go. I wanted it for this weekend and he tried to fob me off with a dogs scrotum, you know them ones they hang off the back of hiluxes and patrols, anyway I explained that I had a Kakadu and how the hell am I going to lite a fire with steel dogs balls you kakawit! Anyway I digress, I walked outside and was horrified to find that I'd been hit by a Craptrax ninja who had painted my Smartbar orange and bolted a pair of giant orange baby rattles to me roof rack. I woke up in a panic, it makes you think twice about bagging out the Maxtrax, I'm thinking of taking the PP sticker off incase they recognize me. I'm sure they wouldn't pick up the rego plate JASEN, nar that should be fine.

I can't believe those bastards at SCA tried to sell you some dogs nuts........how do they even come close to the benefits of a bare bellied possum?? The bloke obviously had NO IDEA about anything related to 4wds or camping.
To solve your ninja problem I think a big sticker saying "This is not Jasens Kaka" should fool them, at least until we can get you another possum to shave so you can make a disguise beard and be safe from further ninja attacks......ahh possums, their uses are just endless!!


Oh yeah.....that #### has a very tricky SWMBO doesn't he, she has completely Tomfoolery'd him into thinking he's in charge.

Cheers
James

Thanks for the heads up on the Toyota package but your latte installation and recent episodes of pimp my ride has inspired me .i might have to start a build up thread . The console fridge will stay in place as that little stubby knob thingy near the gearstick may interfere with the frothing thingy on the latte maker and the fridge may well be of use to keep the soy cool . That particular model machine looks like it should fit nicely on the second row armrest with the factory cup holders .the dog and the possum will have to be relegated to the rear compartment but that's ok I'm sick of him licking the windows although it does look like a lot of fun . Can anybody advise me where I can get some woodgrain vinyl contact ? I spent half the day searching all types of stores to no avail . I'm planing on making the first prado Grande Woody . The missus thinks I may have had a rum induced psychosis , I'm calling it a hangover induced epiphany or maybe a brain injury that has unleashed the Artistic Savant inside . I have reluctantly taken on board her suggestion that replacing all the body mouldings with solid mahogany may have a detrimental effect on performance and handling. So I will use lightweight self adhering contact on all rounded panels and maybe some rosewood veneer on the flatter panels . Any help or advice on applying woodgrain veneer to the bullbar would be most appreciated . I'm thinking a new thread title would be appropriate , maybe I've got wood , or Check out my woody . Oh yes , I believe in certain states you are allowed to shoot Black Fred's if they become unruly .

[jss Moderated member Find all posts View Profile Close jss]

Kav don't be too jealous of the dog licking the windows, I've been doing it for years and they all taste the bloody same. Now crayons on the other hand are very tasty and no 2 colours taste the same.
As for the woodgrain, well I think that's a top idea but what about doing a full timber bulbar?? Now that would look snazzy, plus it could make a good home to store some possums.

Look I know these KLC entry questions can be a little tough but just take deep breaths relax and you'll do fine.

Cheers
James.
