Hi John, do you still have the extended versions? I got the 95 up in RAK im planning to strip down and have repainted the original crocodile green but the driver side rear side bumper ext has a deep scratch in it.
I do, but a buddy is trying to get the short extensions. If he cannot then I need these and I will cut them down. I will ping you when it is resolved!
 
Quick update, my son is coming to Dubai for Xmas and I think he can carry the extensions back. Not sure about the AC controls. Just waiting now for confirmation of stock on the shorty extensions.
 
I heard there are still a few 90 series in a scarp yard in the Al Dhaid area. When I get back home to Ras Al Khamiah on the 9th Im going to do a drive out that way. I have the bench front seat but I am going to see if i can find the bucket seats cause I really want a center console and cup holder now. Mines a 5speed manual so a cup holder would be nice.
 
The Prado has been a bit on the back burner but one thing I could not delay is a tire change. The ones on the truck were starting to herniate. Just a matter of time before a blowout.

I also found bent rear suspension elements while the tire work was going on:

I'm going to have to replace these.

And when the old tires were coming off the TRD rims the beads disintegrated. Clearly the old tires were about to blow.

Today was a red letter day! The Little Prado finally has the missing trim from the rear wheel to the rear bumper installed!

A big thank you to @t00manyuserz, my friend in Japan with a Middle East 80 he imported there at great trouble and expense, who helped me source the rear trim pieces when nobody else could find them!

And I finally was inspired to make some progress on the center console and do something about the floppy registers.
