I'm wondeirng- do the Prado parts (front and rear bumper covers) provide better approach/departure angles, compared to the USDM GX460? Also, could you tell us a ballpark figure if someone wanted to replicate this conversion?

@Yemx the one on the Garage Alpha site [which I'm pretty sure is OP's since his truck is the photo on the site] is $3,900 on sale for $2,800 right now: Lexus GX460 [150] Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Conversion - https://garagealpha.com/products/lexus-gx460-150-toyota-prado-conversion

*facepalm* I feel a bit sheepish- I didn't realize that was for both a front and rear facia conversion. Thanks for linking that again.

• Departure angle on ‘10+ on high RAHC models seems to be hard to come by.

I have a question on the front and rear panels. I saw on Ronny Dahl's youttube channel about his Prado build and he mentioned that he used BushWrapz PPF to protect his vehicle. I looked them up and it is quite a bit cheaper then anything I can find here. I contacted them and they ship here, but are unsure if it is a like for like. Based on the image it looks like that at a minimum from the rear to the front light it looks the same. What do you think? is the front fender much different?

I appreciate the detailed info on approach/departure angles! I'm definitely going to have to do some thinking. A Prado conversion is certainly good looking. For the money though, I think f/r bumpers would be more prudent. I'm so torn.
