Awesome toyota prado offroad set up...greetings from Sarawak Malaysian Borneo🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Hey clement!!
Thanks mate appreciate it! Gday mate from Australia!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤙🏽🍻
Thanks guys very imformative for me to start my set up for a tour
Thanks legend
Love the vid mate. One small inaccuracy, your aftermarket stickers actually add 10 hp per sticker, more if they are on the front door
Cheers mate!
Oh shit I had no idea about the front door sticker mod! Might help me whilst I’m towing the van! Thanks for the heads up 😂😂😂
What a video can’t wait to get my 150 series
Thanks mate they are great cars
Nice vid mate. Got a link to the bag. Currently have the ARB one. But I need this one in my life. ha ha
gday guys cool vid on percy, you mentiond clear top bags, kings have them and they handy, ive a couple wich i use for tin foods etc.
Amazing work guys, hope you have an incredible and safe time and a long and prosperous future together 👊
Thanks legend!! Cheers for the support and you too! 🤙🏽🍻
Beautiful rig, a proper ripper! Cheers lads
I must compliment you both for not having a lunar orbit command module and a 2 person deep sea diving bell.
It's refreshing to see how simple life can be without a ceramic induction cook top nor 30k dollars worth of industrial main-frame wiring.
To see that you're both not afflicted with keeping up with the Jones' and maxxing out your credit card to have all the same toys that "you must have" is delightful.
Do you meet people at camp grounds who tell you that you need more stuff ?? Tell them to go and watch George Carlin talk about "Stuff".
Thanks you Ade!
Although the Gizmo you just mentioned sounds interesting, to travel Australia and have fun you really don't need much at all!
We live within our means and don't get loans or credit cards for anything. ah well it stuffs our credit scores but would rather live debt free within our means then have big loans and metaphoric handcuffs! thanks for the comment Legend!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels Yes you understand.
Here is a saying I use more and more these days : "When you're free of religion, free of debt, free of politics and free of big tech then you're truly free".
Nice Guys
Stay safe love your set up Drone & videoing.
Thanks heaps Cheers
Cheers Barry!
Thanks for the support mate! Means a lot 🤙🏽🍻
We bought some crashpad bags recently. They do two sizes of clear top bags. Good for storing non refrigerated food.
Yeah nice! That’s what we are after! I’ll have a look now!
I'm getting our 4x4 those windows covers, what a great idea 👍 good tips for us👌👏
They are epic! Solar screens! We love them!
Great video guys. I've got a 150 and I'm just trying to figure out what I really need. Great tour around mate. Cheers
Thanks mate! That’s the hard part!! A lot of wants and needs haha 😂
Great work, I love the set up.
Thanks legend
Sweet and simple build guys lovely stuff
Thanks Ned! 🍻🤙🏽
Great and super informative video guys. Impressive knowledge and understanding of everything throughout the vehicle and giving out touring tips. Cheers
simple thing but love the rear garbage pack
Agree mate it’s the small things
Im tell you from my experience Nothing is better than a patrol for sure 🔥💯
We love a good patrol too! 🍻
I have the same rig with the same model ,, and am in process to build it ... I like the mods you have done .. 😍
Great cars aye! Comfort and capable! Thanks mate! It’s never finished though haha 😂
@@SarahandKeelanTravels looking forward to learn from you if you don’t mind 😊
No worries mate, there are plenty of vids already!!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels looking for fender flare for the Prado 150 ... any suggestions?
This was awesome. Thanks!
Thanks mate 🤙🏽🍻
Great vid, thanks for sharing👍
No worries at all Wayne! Cheers for watching 🤙🏽🍻
Great rig! great video!
One question though: How did you manage to get the cables from the roof to your second battery? Currently building a rig and cannot find a proper solution. Thanks!
Walkers Creek make their own clear top canvas bags, if you're still looking 😅
I agree, they do all sorts of canvas products from bags to kitchen rolls! Top quality and made on the Sunshine Coast.
Grab me gear is our go too now! They may aswell warrant there stuff for a life time it’s that good
well .. it all does suit it very well .. looks good ! good on you ! can't wait to see you guys back on your travels ..
Thanks legend!! We can’t wait too! Back on the road next episode with the new van

Nice travel video
Love from 🇱🇰
Thankyou Mohamed! Thanks for the support and wishes! 🤙🏽🍻
well setup Prado Keelan, lot of work and research goes into these builds
Thanks mate! Yeah that’s right, fair bit of thinking haha! Hate doing things twice! Cheers legend
Hey guys.! Great vid and love the 150 Prado. 👌🏼
I’ve got a 120 Prado and have a rear setup for camping/touring and I’m looking to integrate a fixed solar panel and DCDC charger… what brand is your panel .? And I’m only looking to power a fridge.
Great informative video and I’m enjoying watching your travels.. 😊
Gr8 set-up you will have to get a fridge-slide so sarah can reach in the top
Hahah bloody oath! The new van has a drop down slide for sarah haha 😂
Very helpful vid thanks
Thanks for the support 🍻🤙🏽
Love the videos guys. Having a Prado of my own, I’m also looking to run bilstein suspension. Did you have any issues and did you install UCA’s and diff drop kits? TIA
Hey, my name is Keelan as well...it's rare to run across Keelans! Take care, KM
Ah no way haha that’s awesome! You must be a absolute legend with that name 😂😂 Thanks mate
Love it .. we’ll set up for what you are doing no use flogging your daily drive 🍺.. I have Drifta bags for the draws 👍🏻🍺
Sorry guys! We missed this comment!!
Totoally agree mate! We have just had the injectors replaced too so Percy is firing on all cylinders! They seem to make some good gear over there! Thanks legends 🤙🏽🍻
Great As usual Guys, really enjoying your vids, and looking at a prado myself .
Still learning here and trying to get my head around weights.. I cant see with all the "stuff" on the prado , and towing your not over GVM. That "2.5" in life a GVM upgrade?, roof rack, bullbar, steps draws, etc etc, + towball weight... how much do you gain from the rear seat removal?
Thanks Glen!! Great vehicle mate! We love ours! So our GVM is 2990kg (3t pretty much) we can only tow 2.5t. We are 50kg under GVM when the van ball weight is on the car! Seat removal is about 40-50kg I reckon
Nice setup guys. Crashpad does good clear topped storage pods 🤙
Thanks mate! 🤙🏽🍻
awesome car dude, i've got a 1kd also and changed my injectors at 220k km - stock
my engine started rattling quite a bit but drives just like new now.
Thanks mate!
It’s scary to think about the piston going haha 😂
I’m getting mine done tomorrow! Can’t wait
Hi guys really enjoyed your run through of the prado there a great 4 wheel drive.👍
Thankyou! Yeah we love it! It’s not for everyone but suits us down to a T! Thanks legend
Hey guys great vid as always !!
Are you planning on doing the Upper control arms in the future ?
Thanks mate!! I think we won’t bother on this setup. I think from now on any coin I spend will be over capitalising. Thinking about selling Percy within the next year! Our next setup will be new UCAs for sure
@@SarahandKeelanTravels would you replace vehicle with another prado or something else ?
We need a bigger towing capacity so we think something else
Hi guys - awesome video. Wondering if you did end up putting the iTechworld 120 under the bonnet and how the fit was/what battery tray you used?
Thanks mate! Yes we did! Still loving it! Hasn’t missed a beat! About to tackle cape York and do some river crossings, corrugations and really test it. Will make a video on it very soon
Good setup and not over done with all the add on crap that you don’t need. Hope the Prado goes for another 250,000 for you.
Thanks mate! Bit of thought has gone into it! Pretty simple but effective! New injectors on Tuesday so I hope too haha 😂
Good stuff guys, I have AOS bags and love em all Aussie made.
Yeah sweet, I’ll have a look into them man!
Australians know what’s good 😈🤙🅿️ Toyota es Toyota 🥶🥶
Thanks legend!! 🍻🤙🏽🤟🏻
I think "Drifta" makes clear top bags 🤔 I need to look into it aswell, you have just reminded me that I want some too 🤣
Hey Mick,
Thanks mate, I know a few crew do them just didn’t know who’s any good haha! Organisation always comes last on my mods list! Clearly your the same haha 😂
Screw drifta the guys a wanka
@@anthonyhunter3411 ok who does good ones to look at?
@@TheRat71 Jimmy from Grabmegear in Perth. Local for Keelan and Sarah and good gear.
Subbed, I love this car :D
Thanks hamid!!! 🤙🏽🍻
Thanks for all the info. Did you put in a long range tank?
If you want to tour Australia’s rugged terrain , drive a rover, ford, or jeep. But if you want to come back from your tour, drive a Land Cruiser....
Haha good call mate 😂
Crazy dog canvas for the win guys.
I’ll check them out cheers
Love the window covers who made those guys cheers safe travels 🤙🇦🇺🙏
Bloody hell! We should of got a discount code for them haha so many people have asked about them! So they are from solar screens! They have a website 🤙🏽🍻
Hi, I was wondering where you got your rocktamers from please? We have a 2020 Prado and doing the Cape in September and looking into putting them on for our trip.
You can order them online! we would recommend the stone stompers though which are a Aussie made company
Hey guys, love the rig. I have just acquired a 2014 150 series and slowly planning on turning it into a weekender.
From the limited cab view this looks like an auto. Was wondering if you have put a torque converter locking kit or a trans cooler on this for towing? And if you had any recommendations for which one to get?
Cheers guys! New follower!
Hey there, love your rig! Quick question, what is the brand of the solar screens for the windows? They look awesome. We haven't seen anything like those before. Thanks!
Thanks legend!! They are called solar screens and if you type that into google there website comes up! Great product hope this helps
Oh yeah! Bob’s your Uncle! 😎😎
I knew my 1KD 120 series' injectors were on their way out when:
1. Cold mornings I got a lot of injector rattle and,
2. A bit of blue/white smoke at high RPM (especially in higher gears) and,
3. Loss of low-mid range power and,
4. Fuel consumption spiked from around 11L/100km to 16-16.7L/100km
Replacing the injectors fixed all these issues
Hey Bruce! That is epic information mate! I wish I had a testimonial like this to read during this video. A lot of people talk about injectors letting go but nothing leading up to that point!
Unfortunately, Percy had some good injectors and injector seats, well decent before we took them out. Feedback values where good, I was just worried about the seats though no way to test those. I had no knocking or blue smoke or anything and my fuel economy was good! You just never know though, glad we have changed them now and hopefully gives Percy many more years to come! Thanks legend for the info!
Hi. Did you replace them by yourself and what did it cost ?
@@MrAndskotinn no I got a mechanic to do it. $2750 australian included compression testing. Using denso injectors
Love the vids looking forward to more around oz
Thanks Ben 🤙🏽🍻
Love your videos mate! glad everything worked out well for you guys!
As a freshie, just wondering if you got videos on how to do the mods?
Thanks legend! Have a flick back through mate, think I’ve made a couple episodes around the mods but not too many!
If I get a new car I’ll be doing a mod series so let’s hope for that haha 😂 cheers again mate 🍻🤙🏽
I just brought my 150 series im keen to get her out and travel australia
Bloody nice one mate! Go get out there
Nice fitout guys. I've got a 2010 prado and I'm looking to put some lights on the roof rack, how did you guys get the wiring to your roof rack?
Thanks, we run the cable up the side of the windscreen behind the black trim
Cooee canvas is good quality aussie made clear top bags 100% recommend
Thanks David 🍻🤙🏽
I think you mentioned you were looking at putting an itechworld 120X in as your auxiliary battery. I have a similar Prado and wondered how you would fit the 120X. The battery is too wide for the space. Thanks for your videos, very enjoyable.
Hey Peter sorry for the late reply!
I think it will fit! The 120X is the same size as your standard sort of battery! I’ll check it out and make the mistake for you though! Don’t take my word! Haha 😂 sounds like your all over it though! Thanks mate
Hey great video I’m really enjoying it but how much did it all cost
Thanks mate! Costs a fair bit!
Hi guys
Looking forward to seeing your new van
Tell us what you did with the Austrack x11
Cheers🤠👍
Next week we will show you it!!
We sold it mate! Sold like a hot cake at a bake sale 😂
Nice performance ❤️❤️
Thank you ❤️
What do you do with the fridge when you need to sleep in the back and where do you keep all your sleeping bags and pillows?
Just found your channel. Great walk around. I’m thinking of getting a GX and optioning it up but wondering whether I would miss a diff lock? Like you I would be setting up as a tourer towing a 2t hybrid. Noted your comment but anything else to add regarding need for a diff lock or otherwise? Cheers
Gday mate welcome! GX are a great vehicles just as good as any other breed of prado! Looking back, it would of been worth me putting in a locker. I have needed it in situations. Not all the time but it would of come in handy!! Make sure you get yourself some airbags to help level the car and keep your wheel alignment sweet
@@SarahandKeelanTravels ok thanks 👍
Great clear top bags at BDM Leather and Canvas in Rockingham WA.
Yeah sick I’ll have a look! Thanks man
Love your rig well kited up. If you can leave some instructions on how to move the revering camera it will be awesome. I have the Ouse when I have the bin hooked to the tyre I loose my camera. Cheers buddy.
Hey mate!
Cheers for that!
So just take the rear tyre off, undo the bolts that attach the bracket to the middle of the Tyre, remove the camera away from the bracket then grind the bracket down so it can be tech screwed onto your number plate. Or Kaon (the conpany) make the full change over kit them selfs and you can purchase them off aspect offroad
Drifta legends. Good canvas gear.
Cheers mate 🤙🏽🤙🏽👍
where you live did you get the prado 'engineered' when you took the rear seats out? in NSW I believe we need to get it done ( even 3rd row) but new tare weight should be less. more payload😀 looking forward to seeing how your new van tows.
Hey mate!
Thanks, had no idea about that legality!
I’ll suss it out now! It reduces weight a lot haha 😂 I’ll be putting up a video soon 🤙🏽🍻
@@SarahandKeelanTravels, i’ve taken the back seat out of my Colorado dual cab and put in a platform when i bought it 10 yrs ago. Never heard of a re engineer ….. I won’t be losing any sleep over it, 😀😀
@@merv190 Until you get pulled over or have an accident, then you'll be losing a few zzz's...back to Autosteer for you, lol.... Remove the rear seat requires an L1 Seat Reduction Permit...easy to get done, minimal cost and you legally gain the weight that would be Passenger attributable. In other words about 240 kgs. I did it with my Hilux back in 2017. You need to get it inspected and re-registered as a 2 seater (front seats only). Overall it is an easy exercise and then legal for W.A. and probably rest of Oz.
@@bush2coast801 … we’ll that’s interesting I’ve never heard of that, might be worth looking into, the weight gain could be handy. Thanks for the info.
Yep can't just take seats out and not have someone re inspect it. Am from Perth and had a 150 prado. Took half the rear seat out and built a battery box bolted down and fridge on top of it accessed from the rear passenger door. Got pulled over and bam yellow sticker for it. Had to take it all out and put the seat back to get it over the pits
You have probably bought some by now, but Drifta make great canvas bags
Thanks Mike! We have gone with a company called GEABmeGEAR they are amazing small aussie business! Jimmy is a ripper bloke
Try DRIFTA for your canvas organiser bags, located in QLD .
Thanks mate! 🤙🏽🍻
Great vid mate, did the fuel consumption go up much going from stock wheels to the 33” steelies? I’m keen to upgrade mine but don’t want the big fuel bill. Cheers
Hey Brian, it did by about a litre per hundred, if you went alloys on 33s I think it wouldn’t make any difference at all! Steel rims are very heavy!
Drifta Stockton sell some good clear top canvas bags for drawers
I’ll have a look! Thanks mate
Drifta canvas bags are the go!
Cheers mate
Oi guys great setup mate look up Underkover Australian for those great clear storage bags 👍🏻💪🏻
Thanks guys for the recommendations! 🤙🏽🍻
Check out Step 22 for storage bags
Thanks mate 🤙🏽🍻
Ultimate tourer. 😂😂😂😂
What do you drive Richard?
Hey mate, are you running a diff drop or any other mods to the suspension on the car? Love the rig, have gotten lots of inspo for my prado. Cheers
Hey mate! No diff drop at all! CVS sit a little bit more than level! Pretty happy with a little angle though! Thanks legend means a lot
Good looking rig, sing out for clear top bags or even maybe a 270 awning 😉
Thanks legend! No worries mate! Sounds like it’s too good to be true! 🍻🤙🏽
Drifta bags or crashpad bags are the best for clear top bags
Yeah sweet mate thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check it out!
so helpful, thanks guys!! I have an unmodified Prado, looking to go offroad since we cant travel due to covid. are there 2 or 3 mods you would recommend to get started? and do I need a lift? thank you
Thanks for watching mate!
So if your looking to offroad, I would start by bigger tyres, a good set of all terrains will go a long way for your prados capability’s! A lift kit would be second! Third would have to be a rear drawer system/ car fridge
@@SarahandKeelanTravels brilliant, will look into all of these. thanks for the reply!
No worries at all
Obviously your running with some good gear 🤣🤣
In all seriousness great set up guys, looks great
Hahah obviously mate... 😂😂
Cheers legend!
It was just a pit before I got in it, too good
Hahah glad someone got the joke!
Come on mate, never mind the baby cruiser 😉 😂😂
Where’s the new van 👍
We’re gagging to see it
Hahaha 🤣 of course it’s you who gets stuck in about the mall crawler! Haha 😂
We just got home with it now! Stay tuned for next week! Should have a pickup video for you! Thanks mate it’s a ripper
@@SarahandKeelanTravels Haha 😉
Can’t wait
hola
soy de españa y tengo el mismo vehiculo, saludos
me gustaria saber que medida de neumaticos y llanta llevas
gracias
how are you finding the rock tamers!? Any modification required to fit in the Prado hitch?
I recommend the stone stompers now which is the blanket, had a few stone chips on the urban
Good rig and good set up but you talk about not doing any crazy four wheel driving and being mostly a tourer. In that case, what made you go with mud tyres? Seems like no need to me if not doing anything crazy go for a/t. More comfort on road more safe on wet roads, more capable on sand and perfectly capable of everything else...
ATs have harder compound and thinner side walls, muddies are thicker and softer compound making them more durable and in our experience far harder to puncture.
Nice video, can you detail about your commentary just after the diff locks,( in cab walk around) there is a cut away to the vehicle transversing over uneven ground with wheel spin..
I don’t have dif locks in the Prado, I’ve never really needed them!!
Check out “dash cam owners Australia “ the December week one vid , at about 15:20- ole Percy sliding by I believe .
Hahah thanks Steve! Saw that one! Funny how we made an appearance! When someone first told us to watch It I thought we featured for the wrong reason haha 😂
Thanks guys - What seat covers do you have?
No worries Kevin! We run cheap EBay heavy duty canvas ones! I think I payed 160$ for them
Did you guys have any issues with LH tyre scrubbing on the mud flap when you changed tyres and rim?
blacksmith camping supplied - Australian made.
Quality canvas storage.
Sweet! Thanks mate
Hey mate just a question i noticed you have leds did you do a full upgraded led headlight from halogen or standard with led bulbs? As I have a 2010 model and want to convert to led as I can see much clearer on the road though don't wanna get stung for them
So just need the LED kit for your headlight plugs they will be h4 or something (just google that) and they are plug and play! Massive difference and you would be very unlucky to get stung for them.
I’ve always wondered how the Prado would go off road, compete with the best?
It handled the old Tele track sort of haha
Did really well for no diff locks
@@SarahandKeelanTravels I’m looking at a Prado, due to goof url consumption and reliability. Just hoping she’s capable enough for some good off roading. 😎 I’m not expecting rock climbs haha
Hi guys good video with you roof rack is all 150 rated at 100kg i have 2016 ?
Yep! I think all 150s are 100kg! Across the board
