Don't wait bro, take it out for some casual trips as it is. Classic Toyota, you'll be surprised how capable and great it is with a basic lift and 30" road tyres. You don't need to go anywhere hard, just some casual trips and some camping. Always good to enjoy it when it's stock Also check out cruiser company, their rear bars are amazing and super aesthetic
you can pull that whole indicator bar off, makes it much easier to mount custom bars. Also, will it get enough airflow to the front radiator? it's in behind a lot of stuff that needs a lot of airflow from the bottom but it's plated off. will be interesting to see
As an official noob on mods/mechanics and owner of an KZJ71G myself I wanna thank you for these video series and please keep them coming as detail as possible! Great work buddy! Cheers from the Dominican Republic! 🙌👌
Looking so much better! In regards to the rear swing away, would recommend one for the spare wheel. I have seen 32s on steel 15x8s start cracking the door on those Prados.
Saw you in the big rig prado down in bosnia the other day. Thanks for putting out these videos mate. Only channel my girlfriend will watch when it comes to 4wd. 👍
Looks great Adam, can’t wait too see the rock sliders, I’d definitely run scrubbies if it was my rig and also a nice neat little kicker on the rear bar to protect that rear quarter would look good. I reckon you’ll put a set of 305/70/16 falken mts on it.
Also a nice little touring/light off-road trip even to little desert or big desert or shoot over to robe or flinders ranges would be a good wear in trip that you don’t need rock sliders and a winch for. Seen Sam had a bit of unfortunate luck with the 80 up north recently, Hope he gets it sorted!
Bar looks good, except for the pissy indicator lamps. Piss them off, I think it will look scmick with a round fog/indicator inset style like ARB. And piss the black off and go a gun metal grey powder, likewise grey powder for the rear bar which will lift the car rather than the common every day black which drags it down.
Thats the problem with good fabricators… they do awesome custom work to establish themselves, then they follow the demand and money and end up doing semi pre-fab production line stuff. And to get some custom work done, you have to find a new up and comer fabricator lol…
I feel ya Coming from working at Boss Aluminium, there isn’t enough money in custom work to stay afloat without working crazy hours and not charging for it unfortunately. Ask any fabricator and they would rather build custom stuff, but ask any business and custom work is the bane of their existence haha I do wish everyone could maintain their custom work but you always get “those customers” that think they know more than the experts and want the world for nothing.
