After careful deliberation, I've joined the 120 series club. I picked up my Prado yesterday freshly imported from Japan. I purchased it at auction a few months ago. The vehicle is a 2008 Land Cruiser Prado TX. I went with the 4.0L so it will be easier to find engine related parts. This thing only has 22,500km on it. Definitely one of the cleanest JDMs I've seen.
So a bit about me and the vehicle use. I'm a mechanic who worked at a Lexus dealer for years and now working in a independent shop. I was a Toyota fan boy before working on all makes but it's even worse now
. The vehicle will be used for work commutes (yawn) and mountain biking + camping trips. I'm not really into off-roading much besides fire roads so no crazy big tires or lifts here.
I've got some maintenance stuff planned since it's 16 years old and some fairly basic mods happening too. Here's the list.
Mods:
Cooper Discovery Road and Trail in factory size - done
RA Motorsports roof rack - waiting for this to arrive
Wild Land Desert Cruiser RTT
Sony android auto double din
Husky Uni-Fit floor mats
Weathertech cargo liner with bumper protector
Weathertech seat cover
Adding cruise control
Trailer hitch - waiting for this to arrive
6ft Princess Auto vehicle awning
Maintenance:
Oil change
Brake fluid
Coolant
Wheel alignment
Brake service
Fuel filter
Fluid film the undercarriage
