Nice job. Tell us what it weighs with all that gear plus full tanks, a full fridge, full drawers, bedding for icy conditions, enough tools and spares for a lap of Australia, recovery gear, photography gear, clothing for 2 people for 3 months including icy temperatures and wet conditions, cooker, gas bottles, camping chairs and tables, fireplace gear and bag of charcoal, 2 jerry cans with 40 litres of water, a jerry can with diesel, lots of unrefrigerated food for remote locations, ...then add 170 kg for 2 adults. Compare to 2900 kg legal limit for the car.
Good choice with the prado! My 1st 4wd!
Lots of cool ideas Mitch. The 120’s looking good. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Would love to know if your upright fridge makes a nice rattling sound as you drive along. Mine did and we couldn't stand it, ended up selling it to someone with a canopy that couldn't hear the sound. Took it back to Kings and they reckon they couldn't fault it but they never moved it from the bench so warranty claim went no where. Very frustrating since we loved the fridge in every other way.
It's looking good. Fantastic work on the fit out. 👍
Would also love to know what you or if you did anything extra to the inside roof brackets to support the weight of everything as I know the rating is only meant to be 80kg on the roof, we all go over but just wondering if anything you done different or if running the stock inside brackets still
Always enjoy a good build but I always cringe when people go slapping all this stuff on their roof. Being the Prado & Pajero are very similar I ask what the vehicles Roof Load Rating is on & Off Road? Not that of the roof rack system although depending how they are mounted it could be less still but the actually limit of the roof. I know my Pajero has a RLR of 100kg Dynamic which is driving on road and 70kg if leaving tarmac and heading on dirt roads. 57kg for the tent, 20kg for the awning, 10kg for the shower tent and 15 for the platform puts you over 100kg not to mention bedding and the proposed gas bottle.
Yes, and then it is not covered by the warranty.
Wow! Just curious, why a 120 Prado and not other SUV’s?
Why not the new mklll kings it is more heavy but over 2m in length for a tall person.
That is looking awesome dude, are you going to put a bull bar on the Prado?
What about a cargo barrier to protect you both?
120 max roof load is rated to 100kgs
Static on road
@@TheLukaszpg I had to pick between roof top tent and 270 free standing awning as it went way over on mine once you include the roof rack itself and both
From what I googled they have a Roof Load Rsting of 100kg dynamic meaning driving paved roads and that should be reduced by 30% on Unsealed roads so Amy dirt road, beach etc. Same limits as the Pajero from what I've found so with all the stuff on it they are over their Dynamic limit and we'll over if they want to hit dirt roads.
It’s amazing how many people are rolling around with way too much on the roof I was one of them people until I saw something on TH-cam and quickly reduced what I had on my roof
@lukebayet7812 agreed and that rack system could result in a very serious accident if it was to dislodge on the freeway after a bit of corrugated road travelling. I went looking ti find out my limits after watching Tyler Thompson's video where he lost his rack on K'Gari
What roof rack have you mounted here ? I can’t see one for the 120 on the website.
Hi there,
All of our aluminium platform roof rack range is suitable for the 120 series.
Cheers, Courtney
Noice!
Name of roof tent?
Look how much the rear suspension has sagged from stsrt to end of the video 😂
Make sure you watch pt2 for the suspension install then! Haha
What size fridge is this one?
Hi there,
This is our 85L upright fridge! Cheers, Courtney
@@4wdsupacentreAu thanks for the response!
Well that code didnt work
You can actually take seats out and no one has to notified
Only if it's temporary.... leave seat belts in. I think
Unfortunately not in NSW - which is why Mitch said to check your states regulations!
It only applies to seats that are designed to be removable (not second row seats!)
Cheers,
Cahn
great false advertsing, doesnt need to be mod plated if you leave the seat belts in flog
What state are you in mate? NSW doesn’t have mod plates and if you remove seats you need to get it engineered if it changes the vehicle ADR category. So as Mitch said - check your state’s regulations as they’re all different.
Cheers,
Cahn
😅😅, mod plate?? NSW champ.
Firstly, if that’s the case it would be false or mistaken information, not false advertising as that particular statement in the video was not advertising anything. Secondly, the law on removing seats varies between states and territories so what you’ve said does not apply to everyone. Thirdly, why call him a flog for this? Just makes you sound like an arse.
I've got a pajero sport in NSW and I'm going to have to remove the rear seats aswell. do you know what the process is to get it through NSW RTA and ball park costs?@@4wdsupacentreAu
