The Q&A Video is now live on the 2nd channel. Thanks so much for all the tyre recommendations, but to be clear, I am not after an All Terrain or Rugged Terrain, it must be a Mud Terrain and Toyo and Nitto don't make muddies in my size. If you have any experience with any full muddies in a 285/70R17 I'd love to hear it.

Awesome to see how the build has unfolded over the last year Harry. Thanks for the support and choosing to run our gear, glad to hear it's holding up well!

i have been binge watching your channel and really enjoying the content and having some laughs!!! I do not understand how is it that you do not have more subs and views. Keep up the awesome episodes and stay real and grounded!

Great video Harry! Big fan! I also have a late 2020 VX (21 spec) and the Bluetooth audio issue with calls drove me nuts too, I googled, fiddled with all settings and nothing worked. I have a Rhino rack tray on top and the air spoilage makes the audio even worse. Volume control during calls didn’t change anything! I told Toyota at 12 month service, they just ‘reset it’ (not telling me if it was Bluetooth or whole entertainment system reset), but it worked. And now it’s clear as day! So get Toyota to fix under warranty. I can control audio in calls now! Cheers. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the quick review on the Razrs. Makes me glad I stayed with the Yoko G003s (same size) on my FJ. Can recommend them very highly. Nice and quiet on road and plenty of grip. Good to know that I could fit them on a Prado if I ever swap over.

Awesome work and thanks for sharing you along with your wife great hope see more looking forward to seeing again in 2022.

Fantastic review, super valuable. I just ordered an Isuzu MUX and have a few interesting ideas for it now. Keep up the great content!

Thanks for the honest review and all the content during last year, heading to the second channel now

G'day Harry, crackin vid mate, IMO I appreciate the honesty when you are talking bout certain products ie "Yes these lights were sponsored but I retain free thoughts etc, no I didn't like them" Any potential aftermarket supplier would be mad not to support you in your ongoing build. I believe there are 2 types of influencer in this field, 1 those that will bang on about a certain product due to an agreement whether paid, supplied or whatever the case is, 2 like yourself - yes they may have been supplied, endorsed etc but I'm not a fan.... Please keep up the honest vid's mate as that's why we keep coming back for more!

Nice walk through of the Prado. I would give the Cooper's a look, I run the AT3 (I know you want MT) and got 95K km from them in some tough terrain with only 1 puncture through the tread, very happy with the performance of the tyres, cheers 🍻🍻👍

Don't worry about the baby seat issue too much unless you're planning on having a whole tribe. It's only 12ish months and they'll be round the other way and you can get some space back in the front again.

Awesome update. don't worry too much about the baby seat. they become forward facing soon enough. I spun ours around at 8 months.

Great Video Harry about to do the same for my car, interesting to see what you would change as these things are always evolving I got some great Ideas from this video to!

Bloody love it mate!

Great video mate!

I hear you! It’s tricky with rear facing car seats with space, my hubby is 6”4 and it can be annoying but they are so much safer to stay rear facing for a long as possible, they usually don’t reach the markers to forward face until 2-3yrs in most new car seats now anyway. I have the bushwrapz cape kit too and wish I had gone with the Advance 5yr kit, I knew the value in them but underestimated it, I love it so much I wish that’s what I had done!

Prados are fantastic. Love mine and love the mods you have done. Can you review the Ozbraai Knife set soon? thinking of getting some!

Great review, first negative review I have seen on the Razr MTs, looking forward to what you will pick, ot many options left after canceling the rest. Cheers!

goodyear wrangler duratracs. can't go wrong. I've run the A/Ts in 285/75/16 33s for a year and they are wearing great. They do alot of rock crawling and handle it great.

Hey mate, nitto trail grapplers are the best tire I've had by far. Definitely recommend!

One of the best builds around

Thanks for the recommendation for the way storage basket, exactly what I’ve been looking for for my pm canvas bag, champion.

Tetris: Prado 150 Edition. I really felt it when you spoke about wanting 20mm back.

Mate, happy new yr. Very proud to have been gifted your book for my birthday. Very keen for the spotties u have. Put old school halogen proper fog lights on our '15 mux, waiting delivey of '21 79 single cab. Rate amber lights. Southern syd/southern highlands/illawarra area( according to rona not in syd, but maybe not) Fog is major issue for us. Need replace ipf fogs on mux, and want same for new crusier. Yours and ronnies ratings mean a lot, honest and feel reliable. Big cheers for ur effort. Love ur content, recipies etc. All the best for you, wifeand lil one.(dad of 4). 👍👍👍👍🍻👍👍🍻👍👍👍👍 Ps, inox collects less dust than wd40(bricklayer 20yrs, thats why i watched, 80s named brick)

Harry, nice review of the Prado. Unfortunately living in Canada we don't get it as a Toyota here, we get it as a Lexus GX. But the Prado is more practical in styling. The Lexus is well, let's just say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Tires - you asked for suggestions, and this is my experience and opinion as each vehicle will perform differently depending on use, weight, and tire selected as you already know. I've had similar experiences with the brand's you noted. Here is an interesting choice as I have yet to see a KZfaqr test them, so if you pick one of them, thank you! Firestone M/T2 (MT2) Toyo M-55 (look like they are not available in AUZ) is a Mud Tire. Tires are a comprise on your intended use and purposes. But if you are willing to compromise comfort, look for 'commercial' compounds/rating for the selected tire. By the time you read this you've probably already chosen your nexts tire. Anyway, great work, keep it up!

Awesome video thanks for answering all or questions. I have a bushman dc60 upright in my Prado purely for weight and my similar short ass missus haha.

Great Harry. Thank you

I don’t usually listen to product reviews. I like to make my own mistakes. But I tried the bushranga spotlights they go good. The amber lens’ are the key to any led spotlight in my opinion.

I have 2 of the ROK lights on my Prado - Both are full of water as well.

No engine tune = keeping the factory reliability envelope in your favour for the next 9 years and additional 400’000 of motoring you’ll likely cover in that time…. Have a look into the Dick Cepek Extreme Country tyre. I have no experience with that product but it looks interesting. Looking forward to your ongoing thoughts on the new cub camper. Keep up the good work.

Hey mate, I too have a Prado.. loving it, currently looking into torque converter lock up kit for mine... Now that you're towing suggest you look at the same.. mm4x4 are developing a model for the current 6 speed, but check out their vids and explanation the older 3ltr 150 Prado.. seems worth it to me, cool bit of kit 👊

I’d be a bit worried about the weight in your wheel bag (tent pegs etc). I had to have the rear door on my 2018 Prado 150 replaced after some welds cracked inside the door at the top of the spare wheel bracket. I attribute it to a big Kaymar wheel spacer (since removed) and too much weight in the bag on rough roads.

On the exhaust Harry, what do you expect? It's a 4-banger!

thank you for great asset well like done keep lightweight

I think the best tyre is the Goodyear Wrangler MTR. That's what im going to try next. I have actually heard too many horror stories with coopers I wouldn't get them. Falkens have too soft a side wall. Everyone loves BFG KO2s but there KM3 muddie actually looses it's lugs and wears rather quickly so I agree there. Toyos are great but really heavy tyre. And apparently the nittos are terrible in the wet and rather loud. But you hear too much noise. One person who rags a tyre another will swear by them.

SHame you can't get Toyo MT's mate, I got them on my patrol ute 3.5T, 35k KM on them and people always say they look brand new. Honestly incredible tyres, never had a flat, never lost a lug. My mickey thompson mtz's in the past were effd out by 20,000km. Another mate got 85000km out of a set of toyo muddies as well and then on sold them. Simply incredible wearing tyres with lovely thick sidewalls. Only issue is they are heavy AF.

STT PROs are the jam.

I have the exactly the same wheels and tyres and I’m being told I need to put wheel arch flares on the vehicle as part of the 4” GVM superior upgrade kit here in Queensland. For my new Prado.

Goodyear wrangler duratracs I think they are considered an aggressive all terrain than a muddy but I’ve had 3 sets and all have had around 90-100k and handle on and off road really good

Im genuinely curious to see if it actully makes 500nm out of a factory 2.8 at the wheels ( not sure if your referring to at the wheels or fly ) Love the content

Falken Wildpeak will be my next tyre, few mates run them and very happy……worth a look.

Cooper STT Pro all the way bro :)

Look into Falkens. Very good tire. Or another good tire is the Goodyear Duratrac.

Harry, personally i run a Yoko Geolandar X-AT G016 tyre in a 31" (they do 33") The only difference between the normal G003 and these tyres, its the tread pattern is more All terrain designed. (quieter on the road too) the construction between the mud terrain and the X-AT is exactly the same. maybe give the G003's a look. highly recommended *Edited; the typo out of the tyre type.

Yokahama G003.. I've ran bfs, mickey T's & so far I rate the yokis.

Awesome setup, but we missed the canopy mate - how do you like it?

Kumho Road venture MT51 Are probably the best Mud terrains I have had

Street quick performance for a remap in Perth mate best in the business

Hankook dynapro mt, ran them on my 105 series for 80000ks and didn’t have a single issue with them, only reason I didn’t get them again is because I went to a 37 inch terra grappler

Harry, could you cook using an induction cooktop with a 1500W inverter? Re the fold-down table in the tailgate, could Kaon do a split fold version so you have more versatility out of that R hand drawer? thanks heaps for the guided tour. Nice wheels!

Harry try out the goodyear wrangler kevlar MTs. 4wd 24/7 run them for most of their rigs.

What a Beast :)

Thinkware U1000 Dashcam is the go.Torquit stainless exhaust if you want some noise.

Hey Harry, How have you gone with choosing tyres. kinda stuck in the same predicament. had Toyo MT when I had a hilux because of the 16" rim and were awesome. Seems like Falken or going up to 295 but then have more clearance issues and gearing will probably be a bit average (ive got 5 speed 3L) just wanted to see how you went. thanks mate!

What's the difference in fuel consumption between 32s and 33s? Also, could you not put your antennae on the roof?

What's the solar capacity on the roof? I still like BFGs but only had experience of the all terrain ones...

Ha Ha my wife is the same height as your wife. Judy also has a Kmart stool it must be frustrating being vertically challenged even has trouble getting things off the shelves at supermarkets as they always put things up too high. Like your video nice vehicle.

thanks

I know how to fix the tune issue and all those filters you don't need and add 2 more cylinders and more power. Petrol 1GR-FE 😉👍 So happy i went petty. Never an issue, Prado has 170L of fuel tanks unless you're stupid enough to buy the split tailgate one. Love your build anyway, one sexy looking vehicle, just too dark for the hot tropics for me, i also can't get onboard with the chest fridges, swapped to upright and much better, no slide needed.

Important question!! I have the identical prado with basically the identical mods. I can’t see ditch depth when driving at night. What light bar would you chose? I need lights higher up! I live off-road in west Mongolia for context.

Hey Harry, keep an eye on the weight on the rear door as it can break the spot welds that hold the internal parts of the door together. Once broken the spare will wobble and make a heap of noise even on a smooth road and it is particularly noticeable when the car is empty. The rear door on my 150 lasted 5 years before this happened but after owing it for almost 11 years now, hands down the best 4wd i have had.

I have the same suspension, can you share what settings (clicks) are you running front and rear

Faulken Wildpeak MTs, tough as nails but heavy as!

My question is with the lights is it more the amber covers you appreciate or the lights+amber tone I’m super bias towards the halogen colour scheme so I’m just trying to decide what spotty to go, though I have halogens right now so in a way I don’t need the upgrade But they are true spotties, barely any side coverage

Not sure if you’ve heard of Torqit exhaust systems for your Prado. May be a good option to consider if you want to improve performance and sound of your exhaust.

Have you tried the BFG KM3, I know you said you tore them to shreds but that's most likely the old tyres, I run the new ones and they leaps and bounds better

Falken wildpeak MT

Ronny loves his razor’s, why do you think they performed better on his truck?

@Fire to Fork. Do you use the brackets at the bottom of cargo barrier to the rear seat headrests?

Nito make trail graplers in a 295/70r17 which isn't much bigger i think its .3 of an inch bigger fits you're wheels fine

What about the fridge haha being a snomaster owner I was waiting..

Hi mate , long time supporter . Love ya book . But do I need to travel to the west coast to meet you and get a sticker and badge ? 😁

Hey mate. The Bluetooth on the Prado. If your concern is not hearing other people when they speak to you, then there is a software update available through your local Toyota desler. If you’re concern is that others can’t hear you, then I suggest changing to transmit / microphone volume on your audio unit. -2 is normally a good number 👍🏼

hey Harry I had nitto mud Grapplers awesome tyres very loud I am currently using Falcons wild peaks and love them I've also had hankook dynapro MT and they were also good

Have you had a look at the falken wildpeak tyres

Harry, would I be right in saying that you would not buy the maxims tyres again, your input will be very much appreciated 👍, an to you and your family stay safe.

Hey Harry does the “birds eye” view of the car on the cameras go funny with the rear camera relocation?

In regards to your standard air box if you have dusting issues you dont have to change the air box. Terrain Tammer make a stainless steel frame that comes with a polyurethane cement and a spare air filter that solves the problem , I installed one in my KDJ150 2022 Prado and 3000klm with 0 , zero dust getting past the filter. It is the best and cheapest fix for $100 , they also make the kit for the 200 series as well as other make and model 4x4 vehicles.

have you purchased new tyres yet? what did you get?

General Grabber X3. Take a look.

There's nothing better then a quiet car. Stock exhaust for the win, or at most delete a resonator from it.

How's the snorkel noise under load? It seems ridiculously quiet for a stainless.

Car have kdss ?I recommend falken wildpeck mt is very resistent and very good off road acceptable on road

Was this a commercial vehicle or did you strip the rear out I work for toyota in the uk but I can’t get the cameras on the commercial car only the invincible model And I’d you have any fears about customising such a new car and not disturbing the capability toyota already built into it I ask as I’m about do some a similar project any help is appreciated thanks

Hankook dynapro mt, are worth checking

I’m interested in what you can come up with for an exhaust system, I’ve been looking at PPD performance, but I’ll be wait for your exhaust comparison video now ;)

noice!

I had a 3inch stainless exhaust and a remap on a 2014 NW Pajero! I know, but I couldn't afford a landcruiser. However, it sounds great and has 750NM torque!

Another fan of Snomaster here. Love my dual 66lt. Do you know what happened to their website? They seem to have disappeared from australia.

Tyres go for the Cooper STT pro as a mud tyre Seen poor reviews for sand but never had to use them in sand so can’t comment

Please try pizza cutter for the next tires

If you can get the Toyo R/T I highly reccomend them while not a traditional "muddy" they're bloody excellent offroad and get 80ish thousand K out of them(on my 2nd set and 1st was 90 thousand on a Dmax in 265/75R16 and 2nd was a GU 35x12.5R17-82thousand), I've had bad luck with Coopers and I rate them as the worse tyre, Nitto's aren't bad but they're a bit lighter then the Toyo but come out of the same factory

Do you run a solar panel permanently on the roof?

Hi Harry, im almost sold on the Front Runner Pro Stainless steel table. My only question, Since the legs arent height adjustable how stable can you get it on rocky ground? Thanks for the great vids

Harry - just get yourself a set of Nitto Trail Grapplers 🤷‍♂️

Harry try Falken Wildpeaks, coming from BFG's they are so much better

Harry I would recommend you the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar, I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Goodyears, they have a Kevlar on the sidewall so they are very tough and you can run them with very low air pressure and no issue also they have an asymmetrical tread pattern which give a tons of grip in different situation, worth to take a look on them

Antenna on the roof dude you can get manual and auto folding mounts

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 33x12.5??

Falcon wildpeak mt01
