Toyota Landcruiser Prado
- Thread starter OthyKing
- Start date
I own a LC100 series and interested on what you upgraded first on the vehicle? Suspension? tires? bumpers? I want to start planning my build (brand new at Overlanding) but want to do it in the correct order. Thoughts?
Hey - tyres first, they give you the greatest ability to get off road. Your 100 Series is already very capable, provided it’s tyres are. Second, suspension - but get suspension at the start based on what you plan on having on the vehicle when your build is complete - saves you having too upgrade it 12 months later when you’ve added a heap more weight you didn’t account for. Snorkel would be next. Bar work to follow, then some internal storage (drawers / roof rack etc). That’s basically all you need to get off road. Don’t forget recovery gear (MaxTrax, winch etc if travelling solo). First aid kits are also often overlooked, but highly essential. Goodluck!

Awesome. If you mean a European spec Prado, is there much difference other than the injectors? (Rated for different fuel quality I believe)

Yes, European. We have the underbody spare with a single or smaller fuel tank. I’m looking at a Kaymar rear bar to relocate my spare, or import a rear door from AUS. I would like to add an additional fuel tank.
