I've just recently picked up a 2001 Prado petrol and I don't have a bullbar currently, find that this is a great weight reduction that not too many people seem interested in. Doesn't work for everyone, but I actually kind of like the look of the stock bumper and a good way to save weight. Great video and great tips, keep it up mate love the videos about the Prados, great rigs! :)
Reduce Windage! Just taking the roof rack off mine saved at least 1l per 100km, that was just 3 cross bars too, not a big tray But yeah nice vid, second set of road tyres on alloy rims would be my top one, reduces wear on expensive muddies and improves vehicle behaviour too
As a general rule, if you can get more HP from the same engine you should increase fuel economy. a performance air intake, tune, and exhaust can increase your fuel economy. also, especially if you're driving at higher speeds, SHUT YOUR WINDOWS. Your A/C might cause a 1% increase in fuel burn but open windows can cause 5-10% or even higher due to the drag
Hey Noelsy, good day. Would you mind doing a video on how to operate the 4x4 system? can't really find a video on TH-cam that explains the mechanics of this particular Prado model. I'm getting the same one next week and really want to know how to operate it properly. Thanks and cheers mate! great vids! hope to get mine to the same shape as yours soon!
Hey mate, 24L per 100km sounds super high, mine doesn't even touch 20 and usually sits around 15-18 when it's loaded. Also have you considered or do you plan to do any exhaust or extractor mods? I've considered it for fuel efficiency and power.
Yeah, 24 to the 100 is about what i get, where i live is not only very hilly, but also has a lot of stop start traffic Funnily enough, where.i used to work was further away but i had to take a freeway so it was 100kms per hour and the car was using closer to 15 to the 100 Maybe i need to look into extractors or a new maf sensor or something maybe that will help Thanks for the comment

Great tips but idk about buying a audi as a daily.. 😂😮
haha, yeah probably not the wisest decision but a starlet would do the same result.
