not my thing but keep it up Ronnie, this is 100% the kind of content that encourages people to get out there, especially those who thing they need 35s and $150k to do it. PRIME CONTENT!
Great video Ronny, I have a 2021 Prado and I had so many questions and ideas, this video helped me heaps and answered many of the questions, Nice looking rig, no longer the shopping trolley, it's now a true off-road capable unit and great on fuel to boot! Looking forward to watching P#3.
Loving the Prado series. We have a fully decked out Prado with similar brand gear. We also have to watch our GVM closely. Interested to see how the weight goes in this girl. It’s amazing ARB don’t offer a GVM upgrade for these vehicles.
R/D. Good followup Part 2 presentation ! This "S&M" project Prado build seems to be the most sensible display so far on this YT Channel and congratulations to the owner for improving this vehicle to meet their needs on and off the highway. More content on the other channel ? V.
I've got a 23 zero tent for my Prado, 57kg I think, I have 4 M12 eye bolt screws screwed in under my deck, I drive in under unbolt my tent, 4 bolts about 10 mins work and use ratchet straps to lift her up, can lift it off drive away and lower it all the way to the ground and back up by myself
Oh man, I thought I am going to see the part I was waiting for on this episode, now its pushed to episode 3. Ronny, Make sure its worth the waiting .... thanks
loving "Project Soccer Mums Car" sorry sorry i mean Prado...ha ha.... can you do a patch saying "Its not a soccer mums car, its a 4x4" as i need one for my Prado, best under rated car around.
Looks great! I was wondering if Chris might have gone for the carbon fiber tent, but the columbus is light eough anyway. I've gone for the alu cab tent myself, I just figured it would be a bit warmer in the Vic high country where I spend most of my time. Essentially my Prado and Chris's are like siblings, same colour and very similar throughout. Awesome!
Bp51 are quality but remote res shocks need full suspension movement to move the oil through the shock. Simpson desert for example benefit from remote res but Corrugations don’t move the shock enough to move the oil in the reservoir thus they heat up.
Interested to know about the cut out on the rhino hide for the snorkel and which way it was done, do you fit the rhino first and then do the cut outs on both the panel and rhino to fit ?
Enjoying the series. Thinking of buying a prado. Question about the snorkel. Does it actually increase the wading depth? For that you’d need to install diff breathers and you didn’t mention that as a mod.
Has the vehicle got a mod plate for the suspension lift? If a 2" lift, and running the 70 series tyres, it's now approx 13mm over the max allowed roof height of 50mm increase without a mod plate.
Coming along nicely. Does the car have to be re-engineered because you are removing seats turning it into a three seater?? Do the seatbelts have to be removed etc… Over here in Sictoria it’s required I’m pretty sure. No protection on the plastic bumper screams damage to me.Cheers
Awesome video guys! Love the content, Just want to know, what is the weight rating on the roof when stationary? Like I am looking at getting a roof top tent for my Prado 2022 and want to know if it is designed and safe for me and my wife to be in it and whats the total weight limit it can hold.
Hey Ronny, you guys across the pond have the 4runner? Im stateside and there are rumors of the Prado being released here. How does the Prado stack against the 4R?
Ronny, what's your experience with the hilux drive modes on long distance driving (highway)? Are there any difference at all between eco, normal and power? The eco mode makes the pedal less responsive but that doesn't matter on the highway.
Hi Ronny I am one if you follower on RUclips. I just to ask i got my own prado 150 2022. It is safe to put any wheel spacers for 4wheel driving? Thank you
Hey Ronny, did Rhinohide supply the panels painted silver? I was looking to buy a set of Hilux panels about 6 months ago, and on their website FAQ's they mentioned that they can sell them colour coded but can't find that on there anymore. I called a few times but nobody ever answered or got back to me. I emailed and even commented on a post they put on a Hilux facebook page asking them the same question, but never got a response.
Great series, had my 150 for 10 years and dont see any reason to change yet. The dirty gear bag on the spare tyre and a spacer killed my rear door, hopefully your not using a spacer.
@@andrewritchie5065 Broke most of the spot welds holding the inside of the door together. The spare would then wobble on the door and squeak over every bump. Tried several time times to reweld the spot inside the door but have given up and have to get a new door. This was no surprise to any of the panel beaters i spoke to.
Hi, I have recently bought the same vehicle. I am concerned about my GVM of 2990kg with the similar modes? Can you give an idea of weight for the products?
Agreed. I bet the anchor points leave some kind of an impression over the long haul also.. I think I would rather deal with pin stripes than looking at my car wrapped in a hideous shell for all it’s life. If pin stripes bother you, I say do it properly and Linex the thing
Wait, didn't you have a female who was your camera person? I remember seeing her a while ago, can't remember her name though. Didn't know she had moved on.
Ronny and all Why i dont see anay one with a winch on thé back bumper why why why? Thanks for your opinion 2 winch IS juste thé top of Bush shit safety Bob
Love the vehicle, but those fake rivets's look worse than if you'd just splattered the vehicle in horse shit. What's the point of protecting scratches if it looks like shit all the time.
Love the use of green screen!
I really enjoy these every Sunday. Thanks Ronny.
It’s been a revelating experience. Classic!!
You mentioned no GVM upgrade. Please weigh the vehicle once all the mods completed.
Cheers

New studio factory setup is epic mate! The background green screen video is 10/10. Small amount of echo which I’m sure you’re already onto.

88 kg for the rebound foam and 99 kg for the inner spring according to their website.
Awesome video - level of video production quality just keeps on getting better! Hope to meet you in Perth someday Ronny!
Ronnys video has been live for 90 seconds and there’s two thumbs down!!!! There are some real bitter sad people out there.
Looks good Ronny! Having a similar look to the fleet is quite a good idea. Liking the intro music also.
Oh man, I thought I am going to see the part I was waiting for on this episode, now its pushed to episode 3. Ronny, Make sure its worth the waiting .... thanks
Always a little teaser with something to wait for next time...
Prado.Another amazing vehicle from Toyota!Gotta be 1 GR 4L tho!
Nice vehicle. Love the roof top tent. Two years to get rid of the smell, or you just got used to it.
Amazing build
Love the colour of the car with all the mods and rinohide it looks awesome 👍
Why would anyone dislike Ronnys vids, especially a Prado vid 😉
Nissan owners
@@dmac9777 probably lol
Maxxis tyres are great. I'm amazed at how quiet they are, I'm about 10,000 km into a set at the moment.
Very funny when he left Roni. 🤣

I’ve owned 2. Wouldn’t buy another car.

Seen this rig on Thursday while spending up at Heiner's shop. This video explains why it was a tad dirty 🙈😂
Seen?
@@lastknownlocation8760 Yes, with my eyeballs 😂

thank you for share detailed video
Nice one Ronny and Chris. I’ve been waiting patiently for this one 👌 I have a Prado on order sop super keen to see what you do.
How long have you had yours on order?
I would like to see a Fortuner build sometime soon❣️
1:52 people say that should be illegal
But I see them a must have on every car if u live in the country
that front end is jacked
I'm really digging these wildflower blooms in all your recent videos. Reminds me of California after 2016-2017 winter. Did you guys get a lot of rain?
Yeah had a fair bit this winter
Diggin this intro 👌
Love the build guys, can you share specs on suspension please , looking at upgrading my MY14 Prado. Cheers GB
Bp51 are quality but remote res shocks need full suspension movement to move the oil through the shock. Simpson desert for example benefit from remote res but Corrugations don’t move the shock enough to move the oil in the reservoir thus they heat up.
Interested to know about the cut out on the rhino hide for the snorkel and which way it was done, do you fit the rhino first and then do the cut outs on both the panel and rhino to fit ?
What weight will it be all up when finished?
It will be interesting to see how the smaller tyres cope compared to the rest of the convoy. Do you really need 33's and up? Love the soccer mums car.
Can't believe you let him get the roof top tent !! Otherwise nice build 👌
Enjoying the series. Thinking of buying a prado. Question about the snorkel. Does it actually increase the wading depth? For that you’d need to install diff breathers and you didn’t mention that as a mod.

I need those panels in Colombia!!
With the bin bag is he thinking about doing the Kaon reverse camera relocation bracket?
Coming along nicely. Does the car have to be re-engineered because you are removing seats turning it into a three seater?? Do the seatbelts have to be removed etc…
Over here in Sictoria it’s required I’m pretty sure.
No protection on the plastic bumper screams damage to me.Cheers
What's that flooring under the bed of the RTT?
Will you ever do a joint video with
all 4 adventure and 4x4 24/7
Sweet, how much cost total please
I got my self a new full spec Prado in Germany, want to change 19 zoll stock wheels , suspension , etc ... , BUT DONT HAVE WHERE to do it!
Looking awesome, guys! What's the roof load rating on the Prado? Can't seem to find it anywhere.
Awesome video guys! Love the content, Just want to know, what is the weight rating on the roof when stationary?
Like I am looking at getting a roof top tent for my Prado 2022 and want to know if it is designed and safe for me and my wife to be in it and whats the total weight limit it can hold.
Wish they had Rhino Hide for the GX460 before we started wheeling it.
Where can you order rhino hide?
@@Verdigris. they are sold in Australia
Hey Ronny, you guys across the pond have the 4runner? Im stateside and there are rumors of the Prado being released here. How does the Prado stack against the 4R?
Hello! Where can I buy such protective panels for the pado body?
Those ARB skids get destroyed after a few runs here in Colorado... other than that the Prado is amazing!
Did you move the reverse camera with the rear rubbish bag being on the spare and where to if you did?
Where did you film this?
Where do you buy the under bed spring system?
I assume it comes with the RTT?
Something similar on Amazon - Froli Sleep System
Really wanna get the Rhino hyde here in the US for the Tacoma
Where to purchase the side panel Protectors?
Ronny trying hard not to show his love for the 'soccer mum car' in front of all the 79 fan boys
Ronny, what do you think of the Ironman foamcell suspension for duns and on road?
How is Rony’s fridge held down in the hilux? I want to put one in my ranger but don’t want a slide
Wow
You mentioned no GVM upgrade. Please weigh the vehicle once all the mods completed.
Cheers
Where do you find the colour coded rhino hide?
Is there an actual lift to the suspension with the new shocks/springs, or only slightly bigger tires?
Ronny, what's your experience with the hilux drive modes on long distance driving (highway)?
Are there any difference at all between eco, normal and power?
The eco mode makes the pedal less responsive but that doesn't matter on the highway.
I use eco in low range when climbing rocks
Normal mode on highway or power if towing
The rubbish bag don't block the rear camera?
Check out kaon they have a mount that move the camera out if the way of the bag without compromising the view
Cute chainsaw

It looks like those panels will vibrate and rub down the paint tho.
Hi Ronnie, question, do the larger tyres knock off the speedo at all? ?
Which rooftop tent is this? I want somting like this on my J90!
Can you confirm what size Columbus RTT is on the prado? Small, medium, large?
How much air do you put in the 31.5 tyres on-road and off-road?
Ronnie...what tire pressures were the 265s set at on the rough climb and corrugations? Thx!
My guess would be mid 20s
25 psi
@@oldluxy Nailed it!
IFS for live!
Can I ask please what brand of roof top tent is that.

Can you add the cost and added weight

Is the Prado and the Hilux based on the same platform
I’m sorry but that rhino hide looks pants
I’m sure it does a job but I’m still not convinced they won’t chafe one the grit gets behind
Agreed. I bet the anchor points leave some kind of an impression over the long haul also..

Harry seems to have the best solution with his clear rap
100% don't like the look
I've got a 90 series Prado, not liking the arb suspension I've got in it. Anyone know what brand i should go with for new suspension
I have Kings Springs and KYB Skorched 4 shocks. Got 100000km on them, and they still handle really well
Rhinohide for Prado 120 Please!
Why waste your money. Just drive it
Wait, didn't you have a female who was your camera person?
