If there are any Prado owners looking for a few tips on customising your car, have a look here.

Don't know about off road capability, but a lot of work in this one.

Appears he turned a really good tourer into a useless piece of metal.

Well, now you know why some people say that 4WDers are trying to compensate for something... they're talking about this guy.

Are they pre-cleaners or roulette wheels between the seats? And why does he need 14 TV's in a car that now has 4 only seats? Here's a good one: "these wheels took three days to fit" so that means how much in labour costs when I need to replace the tyres? Or how many days will I be stranded beside the road trying to change a flat?

I think he summed it up quite well (just a couple of times) with the word: INSANE. Sooooo, does that word now have an alternate and opposite meaning ie. "inexplicably good" or does it still mean that he should be committed?

I'm sorry but I reckon the bog Prado looks like a pimps car.

Too much chrome and juke box looks for me. This version looks like an entirely appropriate development. Seeing a Prado in the bush always surprises. They look like they should be picking up the kids from school in Jerrabomberra or Nicholls. (For those who don't know the ACT region these suburbs are known for large ostentatious houses).

I'll second that. Toyota are probably picking up ideas for the next model from it at this moment.

Come on you guys.

He said it was a project.

He obviously had a ball doing it.

Don't jump on people just because they get their fun a different way to you. At least it's good healthy fun, even if it's not to your taste.

BTW, Those "pre-cleaners" in the middle are subwoofers!!

I'm glad I ain't too scared to be lazy

Far out what a piece of s*^t. Pimp is certainly the right name for this "thing". Still if he wants to waste his money this way then it's his call I guess. As a proud Prado owner I say it's not for me. I'm a purist and a traditionalist and no I'm not bored :D
