Your video will make me spend few thousand more on mine now..😂😂…. Nice job mate. Especially your ability to find some nice deals online,and not compromising on quality and money where it really matters.. 👍👍
With the age of the 120s now, after market parts can be sourced for good prices! We have just started a new project, a touring Dual Cab Ute, so watch this space for the new build!
Good to know about the 150 recovery points. Was gutted when i found out about the recovery points no longer fitted my 120s after installing a opposite lock bull bar.
Agree, interesting to know! I was told they would fit on ARB Bars with some mods but finding out that 150's bolt straight on is great. I bet most suppliers don't know that!
I’m a technician in the fire industry and you’d think I’d eat this stuff up for breakfast but noooooo chance haha. Shed full of gear to wire up and install and that’s where it’ll stay until I cbf’d lol
Sick setup mate. I just brought the 09 TD prado which has not had the injectors replaced. It’s at 170 000 kms, do you recommend getting them done even if it’s still running well?
Caleb Howell sure do, but I would get it checked out first. Consider it insurance for your motor. Watch some of Anthony 4x4 Diesel for some good guidance.
Hi Andy, thanks for the comments. The AC fan was off ebay from a wrecker. They are hard to locate but if you keep an keen eye on gumtree/facebook etc can locate a Grande, they run them. Its not that well known of a mod (not like the trip computer!).Best of luck locating one.
Cameron Upton they are strong mate. Also come with little holders to make them sit in the Windows, though I haven’t used them. They fit perfectly to the windows. I also use the front window ones for the back window crossed over, you can see them in the video. Just jam them behind the trim panels.
Rampy mate did it via doors but I didn’t like the look of the cables coming out that way. I took the strips off up the sides of the front windscreen and put cables up both sides, I also have one running up the rear from outside the tail light. I’ll take a video of how I did it and put it up for you.
Have you had any issue with the bull bar touching the underside of the flare/guard when flexing off road ? wondering how much gap is between the top of your bull bar & bottom of flare ?
Volcanic I kept it pretty tight. Though I have replaced the body to chassis bushes which stops a bit of movement. It doesn’t rub when general off-roading. I would say it’s 20mm maybe a little less.
@@ShedintheValley Thx for the reply, were your bushes worn/compressed much ? I've been considering to renew mine though also thinking about a 1 - 1.5'' body lift but not sure yet what else will have to be modified..
Volcanic I haven’t body lifted, only suspension. There is a few things you would need to sort out including steering etc, and you will have a gap between bullbar and body you will need to fill the gap.
@@ShedintheValley Yeah cheers I will have to look into it more, just want to be able to squeeze 285x75x17 mud tyres in there with my 50mm lift and minimal body lift.
Dan theman it’s a 2007. Injectors need to be replaced just as maintenance. I got the intake and EGR cleaned and acid bathed at the same time. That also included all labour which was a good price.
Fishing with Deeanno you can file out the plastic, then also file down the under dash panel to fit the switch panel upside down so all the switches are on top row. Factory mirror control is at the top.

Sweet 120's boys! Just got one. Some inspiration here for sure.

Tim Reynolds yep bolt straight up.

Tidy looking rig with some good electrical/electronics on board. Come do mine ahaha 🤣
Haha! Don’t have the time to finish the bits in mine. Electrical does take ages to do. Got a lot of respect for auto sparkies

Hello mate, some great info here thanks. I'm having trouble trying to find an AC fan like the one you used, any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers

@@ShedintheValley thanks mate, I'll try Tony's wreckers in Perth. Cheers
Those magnetic shades for the rear passengers, if they put windows down will they just blow out or are the magnets pretty strong?

How did you run the wires up to the roof rack camp lights? Via the passenger doors?
Rampy mate did it via doors but I didn’t like the look of the cables coming out that way. I took the strips off up the sides of the front windscreen and put cables up both sides, I also have one running up the rear from outside the tail light.

what year is this? and why did it cost 3k for your injectors and pump?
Dan theman it’s a 2007. Injectors need to be replaced just as maintenance. I got the intake and EGR cleaned and acid bathed at the same time. That also included all labour which was a good price.
Hi Mate
Can you please inform me what brand roof rack , where we can purchase from
Sanjay Singh it’s from Jaram Roof Racks in Perth. I think it’s a copy of the track lander. Alloy and strong. Been very happy with it.
How did you mount the Arb rocker switches in the front console for your leds?
Fishing with Deeanno you can file out the plastic, then also file down the under dash panel to fit the switch panel upside down so all the switches are on top row. Factory mirror control is at the top.
@@ShedintheValley Awesome, Thanks!
