Well went into Toyota Mandurah.
They took some happy snaps and said that they had seen worse.
That was tuesday, today got the call that it had been approved as a warranty repair and to book it in to the panel bangers and that they had a rear door instock ready to go. Just needs paint.
So yep, the rear door is getting replaced under warranty. (which runs out in 2 months) just call me lucky jeff.
They did mention that its common and toyota had a fix for it. extra welding in that area.
I also asked about the front end cracking problem that we have all heard about, Service manager said he had not seen one yet. So thats comforting to know its not as common as the rear door thing.
Will try to post pics tonight.
booked in tuesday for the swap.
Will look harder at that rear wheel carrier now...
Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.

Great photos Chippy and Mumsrig(Mitch) ,
Did you take any photos Jeff of your door even thou you camera is stuffed.I may get mine welded just in case.
Here is a short Video I put together in a relaxed theme. 8)
I dont think the cameras stuffed. Just the CF card needed re formating which wipes everything off it. I'll take some when Linda gets home.
Then I'll start a new thread in the body section in 120.
Jeff.

Those who went on this trip will know that to get to Harvey from our camp it is an approximate 25minute trip.
Well, Tam, Hayden and I went for a wee little drive into Harvey to get some supplies and it managed to take us well over an hour...
The GPS was not our friend on this particular day. Instead of following the main roads, we or should I say I decided to follow some of the tracks that the GPS haid laid out for us as an alternative route to Harvey...
Where we first came unstuck was on Clarke Road when it literally dissapeared into the water.... :shock: Now I'm talking of a made, formed and marked road which was also graded that dissapears into the Harvey Weir...
Check the attached link and you will see what I mean. Have a look at where Clarke road ends up in the other side of the Weir as well. http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&h...39911&t=h&z=15 Now I know that these Prado's are pretty capable 4x4's, but that road is taking it to extreams :lol:

Before I met up with you guys we heard how good 4x4ing in Harvey was but had no idea where to go so headed down there. We ended up in that exact spot twice. Like I said last weekend, not really on the way to somewhere but a good spot to go play for a few hours! Awesome when it's wet! There is plenty of rutted hills and places to lift a wheel or two :wink: or just play in mud!
