      You can put a smaller Tyre on but not for a long period of time the smaller wheel will put strain on the axle as it wants to do more revolutions then the larger tyre but in saying that it will get you out of the shit

    i own a 120 prado and i know afew tings that make the car look better. take the side steps of and also get darker aftermarket and more modern style head lights. another thing u can get are 150 series prado style tail lights. makes the car so much more modern and looks why better than factory. and get black towing mirrors

    Need to make sure your spare is same rolling diameter as the others, otherwise it's useless, being constant 4wd, you'll destroy a diff if you used it.
    Stedi are an Aussie company that do awesome lights, have LED conversions for foglights and heaps of different high quality light bars to fit in that spot! Neat truck mate, makes me miss my old 120 series.

    That bar suits your build really well, good choice. When I fitted my Narva LED headlights I managed to retain the rubber boots. If I remember correctly, I think the LED inserts can be separated from the housing to allow fitment of those boots, your headlights could fill with water otherwise.
    Edit: I noticed your Narva LEDs are Gen III, mine are older but I'm sure you can still retain those rubber boots

    • @jbrizz99
      @jbrizz99 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Adding to this, the lights will fill with dust and water very quickly without the boots even just on the road, and they are not designed to be pulled apart easily to be cleaned. Really need those boots in place.

    Just watch the temps while towing with aftermarket bars that don’t have any vents on the bash plates. Sometimes it’s a problem with some vehicles other than that it looks great! Good job! 👍

    Just a heads up. Those bash plates are alright for on road and basic 4wd stuff. But if down the track you get into some more gnarly 4wd stuff don’t be surprised if that bash plate gets torn from one or two fixings.

    There are so many LED headlight bulbs available that do not comply with Australian regulations. Make sure they have the correct construction that does proper low beam. I got done for having LED bulbs that didn't have the correct low beam pattern. Got some new LED bulbs with the correct low beam pattern, but the LED cooler housing won't fit with the battery behind the left headlight.

But can go on ebay and pick one up for about $15 to $20 I believe, Also if it has side steps remove them, Bullbar looks tough.

      The whole build come in at under $10,000 including rego etc. I think that’s pretty budget for a 120 series!
