What do y’all think of the new look?! Can’t wait to take this thing out on some trails 😈
The front end looks so much better now.
Disconnect the sway bars when off road
I work for Aussie off-road u put the bash plate bolts wrong way around 😂
no kangaroos will survive when they suddenly jump in front of you lol. looking good sirrrr
That tidies the car up very nicely. Maybe the mirrors look a bit out of place in silver with everything else black now? If it was me i'd paint them black as well to match
Would be worth changing spare to same size tyre as the rest so you don’t bind the diff up if you get a flat
Can put different size on front just can't use 4x4 I'm not 100% sure tho
@@that_crankytf9571 Not true since the Prado is constant 4WD
@@05hit Hence why I said not 100% sure.
You can put a smaller Tyre on but not for a long period of time the smaller wheel will put strain on the axle as it wants to do more revolutions then the larger tyre but in saying that it will get you out of the shit
@ThekingReturns incorrect, i also have a 120 series and can confirm is full time 4wd not a part time
Its coming along really nice, a real night and day change. Goes to show what you can do in a budget and by yourself. Love when these eps come out. PS, *whispers* flip the bolts the other way in the splash guards.. nuts on the inside ;)
Yeah bump! Bolts 🔄
Cheers for the kind words Alex! Haha those bloody bolts...Knew i'd get something wrong. I'll satisfy you all and flip them, first thing next EP 😁
Super awesome!! Love the build. My 120, 2003 model still puts a smile om my face. Keep it up!
I have been loving this build man keep the videos coming bro🎉
Looking great. Thanks for the effort inspiring others to do a bill bar install. Awesome work.
i own a 120 prado and i know afew tings that make the car look better. take the side steps of and also get darker aftermarket and more modern style head lights. another thing u can get are 150 series prado style tail lights. makes the car so much more modern and looks why better than factory. and get black towing mirrors
Loving it brother tuff rig you do stuff the right way and quick and on a budget love it
Loving this series! Welcome to the Prado vortex where the mod budget is forever expanding :D This looks identical to mine, except previous owner raptor coated grill, bonnet and mirrors black which looks awesome with the bullbar. Thanks for the inspo to upgrade my rims!
Thanks Lou! How good is the black on black. Absolutely loving it.
Great work Mike!
Awesome result. Another great video.
Cheers Laurie 😁
Looks so mint! loving the looks
loving this build i have the exact model of prado makes me want to paint my grill black now also a weird question can you list your music you use i think its cool well done bringing the car back to life
regarding the leds you can get other h4 led styles that dont have that type of heat sink and allow for the boot stedi sells them
That bar suits your build really well, good choice. When I fitted my Narva LED headlights I managed to retain the rubber boots. If I remember correctly, I think the LED inserts can be separated from the housing to allow fitment of those boots, your headlights could fill with water otherwise.
Edit: I noticed your Narva LEDs are Gen III, mine are older but I'm sure you can still retain those rubber boots
Adding to this, the lights will fill with dust and water very quickly without the boots even just on the road, and they are not designed to be pulled apart easily to be cleaned. Really need those boots in place.
@@jbrizz99 Will fit the boots ASAP!
The build has been amazing so far.
Cheers Dave 🤙🏻
Love your prado builds. I'm a bit sad watching this today as my 120 has gone in to get the headgasket done.
Keen to see the collaboration with Rex! Two TUFF RIGS 💪💪💪
TUFF RIGS, ASSEMBLE!
Just watch the temps while towing with aftermarket bars that don’t have any vents on the bash plates. Sometimes it’s a problem with some vehicles other than that it looks great! Good job! 👍
Love the look! Stedi should sell some upgrades to the fog lights. They call them boost integrated lights or something
Need to make sure your spare is same rolling diameter as the others, otherwise it's useless, being constant 4wd, you'll destroy a diff if you used it.
Stedi are an Aussie company that do awesome lights, have LED conversions for foglights and heaps of different high quality light bars to fit in that spot! Neat truck mate, makes me miss my old 120 series.
Awesome info, cheers Sam! Looks like I’ll fork out for another big boi tyre 😁. Cheers for the heads up on the lights too! I’ll check them out 🤙🏻
You will need a spacer if you add the bigger tyre to the factory rim
@@itsmikelake I've got a Kaon 6mm spacer that will do the trick if you want it for free. (ordered 2 but only needed 1) if you haven't bought one already.
Yeah those rims definitely look solid with the new bullbar.. I've got those H4 on my 2010 D40 and you can separate the light to fit the boot on.. I'm a novice with fitting stuff but you made that bullbar look like a breeze to install, I think that's enough proof to go and get me a bullbar to fit 😂..
Awesome vid uce 🔥🔥
cant wait to see more datson stuff!
wheels look sick! just brought a prado and loving this series 🤙
Thank you bro! Absolutely loving my prado lately
Awesome vid mate. Subscribed 👍
Thanks Reece!
Hey mate love the build, I’ve got a 120 series myself, been looking to upgrade bullbar, I’ve been looking at the same bullbar but only found them for 2.5k
I prefer the factory look on the prados,but I'm sure the final look your going for will improve the whole look of it.
I wanted to buy one just to do an artic prado build with the wide fenders and 40's but completely pointless here in Australia
Hell yeah. Gotta get my coffee ☕️
Looks tough man..great work.
Cheers Mike 😁
Just a heads up. Those bash plates are alright for on road and basic 4wd stuff. But if down the track you get into some more gnarly 4wd stuff don’t be surprised if that bash plate gets torn from one or two fixings.
Looks awesome mate!
Thanks Pete!
From one Lake to another (this one in the UK) Sickkkkkkkkkk build. Hard work finding a good bullbar over hear!
Haha Chris is my brothers name! Thank you bro, I’m absolutely loving my prado 👊🏻
love your vids man!
100% need to have the dust boots on for the lights. also flip bolts the other way that mount the bash plates, much nicer look.
Love it looks sick 🤙🏽
The 120 is looking quality bro 👌 can you tell us what LEDs you got to replace the headlights? I'm keen to do my own if they are any good
That's a good effort getting that bar on yourself mate! I was surprised at the weight difference between the bars. Looks a million bucks
Cheers Pat! Hard work pays off for sure 😁
@@itsmikelake sure does!
Regarding bash plate bolts, see if the plates will tuck up into the bullbar, so it can’t catch going forward
And Supernova for your lighting needs, superior to Stedi, at less price 👍🏻
Also have Prado Grande 120, painting the original Toyota bullbar and adding winch 💪🏻
Window visors are needed for rear windows too match the front
The only drawback are the weldings on the Bullbar..... For a perfect finish smooth them out and another spraypaint job will make it look mint!
lOVE THE BUILD!
Mmm... pretty..can't wait to see you guys throwing dirt at it !!
You have a H11 plug mate and new one is a HB4 plugs looks similar but H11 slightly wider nice job one the car.Maybe change the globe to H11 leds keep the plug
wow 👌🏽 looks great
Thanks!
Hey brother loving the new bar. Only thing I would do is swap all the bolts on the bash plates around so the bolts face up. Just looks a little cleaner. OCD is my game haha.
I realise now that I messed this up 🤣
@@itsmikelake all good man. Its the easiest way to do it but is coming up clean man. Taking it off road is gonna blow your mind. Wish I could come with 👌
Hi mike,
paint on the grill looks great, just wondering did you clear coat the satin black with the spray gun?
Hey bro! No clear coat, just straight out of the can. You could definitely clear coat it with satin clear from a can also!
hey Mike looks great
Cheers JC 👊🏻
Looks sensational
Thanks Chris!
Hi mate maybe you should turn your nuts and bolts on your bash plates. Otherwise all the stones and rocks will bugger the threads on your nuts👍
Good point...Yes i'll do that for sure! Appreciate all the advice you guys provide 😁
Go for the RUNVA 11XP winch. Reliable quality piece of gear and great value. Don’t go cheap on your winch..
Brooo thing looks mint
There are so many LED headlight bulbs available that do not comply with Australian regulations. Make sure they have the correct construction that does proper low beam. I got done for having LED bulbs that didn't have the correct low beam pattern. Got some new LED bulbs with the correct low beam pattern, but the LED cooler housing won't fit with the battery behind the left headlight.
What LED globes was that u used on the headlights?
was that coolant on the plastic cover ?
Man for a 1k bucks it amazing how much it improves the look , next upgrade should be headlights , visibility is very important on long trips.
Hope you get a proper suspension lift soon 🙏🏻
What would look good is a nice light bar where the grill is on the bullbar and paint the mirrors
Mirrors are 100% getting paint 👊🏻
Should colour match it in the factory gloss black
big thanks for providing weight of those bars!
Happy to help!
Is the bar Ozi4x4?
What disc di you use to polish the headlights?
headlight dust boot may be an issue off-roading but on normal roads I can't see a issue
looking amazing, you should black out the mirrors too maybe.
100% blacking out the mirrors. The chrome looks cheap I reckon
Looks mint bro gembrook has some good beginning tracks
I’d be keen to hit track with you mate one day mate just got to get the motor back in my rig
I was surprised at how little the weight difference was!
Absolutely agree! I was quite happy about it to be honest 😅
Hey mike do you still have your old sovereign bar? I wanna buy it from you.
Gone sorry!
oh crap. I have a 120 with the old sovereign bar. I think I just mentally already spent $1k. its sweet.
I would think you are supposed to cut down the mad guard that goes inside the wheel arch (sorry, full of technical terms). I helped a mate install a bar on his Hilux last week and that is what we had to do. Maybe it would be worth having a skim over the instructions, I could be wrong. 🤷🏽♂️
Ahh yes, mine were already cut to make way for the big wheels and tyres, that’s why I didn’t do it in this vid 😁
What on earth my mechanic said that Led headlights were illegal but that's maybe only for NSW?? I think them halo lights look mint don't have them but yeah.
where are the rubber overriders that go below the upright bars. besides that looks mint
I didn't like the look of them so decided to leave them off. Cheers!
@@itsmikelake ok I know in N.S.W you will get defected for not having them just a heads up
What spray paint did you use for the grille?
also, what bullbar did you get?
All links for parts are in the description 😁. I used supercheap auto “satin black” paint
Would love to buy this bar but works out at 2.5k including postage to WA
how many kms has it done?
hey mate could you send me the link to the screen you brought cheers
I don't think that bar is ADR nor Airbag compliant. Which means it's unroadworthy. Also, changing the globes to LED also makes it unroadworthy? Correct me if I'm wrong and I hope I am. BTW awesome series of videos.
All Ironman bull bars are ARD compliant
@@Joel-dd2hk yes, but it's an Armorman4x4 not Ironman
Where did you get that bullbar for 1k? That's a bargain
10 Grand? Looks like a 40K Rig.
Bloody awesome.
Super. I have same bullbar❤
They look fantastic hey!
Looks like the nuts and bolts are wrong way around attaching the bash plates to the bullbar.
Get the spoiler for the land cruiser
De chrome the mirrors 100%
I would literally buy the bar straight away if they are 1K each 😂, last time I was having a chat with the ironman rep and the guy is asking 2K for the ironman bar "4wd show price"!
Sorry I was mistaken. These are armorman 4x4 bars.
take the side steps off and it will look even better again👌
Now all you need is a staino snorkel
Don’t tempt me 😅😈
How is the Land cruiser going today 2024???
By the way. I am also skinny and the gym will do nothing If you don’t eat enough. Measure your calories and see how much you need to eat to maintain current weight and then add 500 calories a day
Do you wanna sell the old bull bar?
i want buy u facotry alloy bull bar ~~
Another way to gain weight, better than going to the gym, is simlpy drink a lot of beer as often as possible....works for me - went from 65 to 73 in bo time😊
HAHAHAHAHA I’ll give this a crack 🤣
Please sell me the old one😊
6 hours to fit a bull bar is good as trained professionals take 4-5 hours
yo cuzzy looks mean and turn your bashplate bolts the other way
she's starting to look horn now 🤙
Cheers! Absolutely loving it
I see you made the video longer hectic, I'd recommend the XTM 12000lb winch $500 I have one on my 91 2wd tf rodeo and it's been bloody great and has pulled my ute out of some crazy stuff and get the xtm 7 peice recovery gear $109 i believe, And I'd really recommend getting a hi-lift jack or 2 $99 each all of which you can get at bcf and get a tire deflator think it was $30? But can go on ebay and pick one up for about $15 to $20 I believe, Also if it has side steps remove them, Bullbar looks tough.
Budget build 1k bull bar , ok mate ,looks good but budget blown
The whole build come in at under $10,000 including rego etc. I think that’s pretty budget for a 120 series!
@@itsmikelake your right that's cheap and it looks good .
Old one is better
Fucking awesome
Would love to buy this bar but works out at 2.5k including postage to WA
