For a guy whose 1st language isn't English, his command of the Aussie version is faultless. Accent aside, he's grammatically perfectly Aussie. Just missing a few "bloody" and "yeah mate" 's. Haha. Another great interview and rig.👍

Nice to see someone enjoying bush who has not going totally crazy with modifications and 35 inch wheels etc. These wagons are pretty affordable now too!

This is the most satisfying rig build I've seen. Nothing extra but everything you need.

[asteyn]

I love this, its more of a budget build, but it seems to have way more thought and planning into the build than a lot of very expensive rigs. Everything is laid out and built in such a way that it is very user friendly and quite modular
Well done Charles!

Great interview Ronny, and thanks to Charles for sharing his great car.

Thats a great 120 Series Prado. The mighty 1grfe v6 engine is so reliable and powerful. I miss my 2005 gxl model. Now Im in a 2003 TD42Ti Nissan Patrol.

I've got a 120 of the Lexus variety, love the 4.7L low end torque. Running Cooper AT/3 LT-C 265/70-17, are a perfect compromise for my intended usage. Not much else done on it currently, next addition will be either sliders and/or onboard air, and then dual battery and roof rack. Great to see a cousin truck on the channel.

Great video, Charles really knows his shit! Good to see how the Prado's can be modified. Cheers Ronny

[vasilisconstantinides]

love the traction control system in this, no diff locks needed!

[markdouglas]

I really enjoyed watching that Ronny, cheers lads.

[avalanx]

120 Series will go down as one of the all time greats.

Great mod video. Really gives me a tonne of ideas to do with my prado now. Best part is, most of the mods don't necessarily break the bank which is awesome since I just bought my vehicle and I'm just getting started.

[McLovinbtw]

so glad to see someone going budget and making me feel relatable, rather than me with my stock prado watching som1 with 80 inch rims and acting like we all should do the same

Have the 04 GX. My wife just drives it around town. The roads suck like in most US towns. No wonder this thing goes over potholes like they are nothing. Should call the road department and tell them to add more. Would keep the traffic down. Amazing in a big snow storm. I. I used the lowest gear and the differential lock before going down a icy hill. I had to hit the gas to get it to move down on ice? Have never had to use “downhill assist”. I am like this guy, mine would be spotless after, if we try any off-road stuff. The only thing I hate is that it is too nice to take off-road. Need to put another 10 years and 150, 000 miles on it, then I might have the courage to go off-roading? I feel sorry for it, kind of like keeping a lion for a pet cat. Fun to see what it can do with a couple of mods.

Charles, thanks for sharing your Prado...Also, very creative with the double-hinged security door in the back...Mr. Dahl, great as always.

[adamgriss]

I have a Prado 150 VXL and the first major mod I did on it when I got serious into off roading/ overlanding was to replace the hydraulic suspension system with coil springs; Without a doubt the best mod I have made so far!

[vijgai]

Finally a Prado. I have a 2014 150 series diesel that I am decking out slowly.

[bullthrush]

Nice setup. Folding fridge screen is clever.

[EARTHROMR]

Nice video, vehicle. Very clean, and well done.
Just one thing for others, the combination of 265/70/17 tyres, increases the total lift by 13mm over the max allowed lift of 50mm.
Apart from that, I'll get keeping an eye out for this vehicle

[robertmartin]

Nice bus was waiting for a prado build.Ive got a 150 diesel I'm decking out now. Actually me my best mate, my Dad, and my 2 cousins all have just started builds on white 150 Prado's . When we get the build we're happy with I will send you some pictures
