Mad Max would approve. Love it.

[@firetofork]

Cheers Andrew! It definitely looks angry

[@Evenstephenss]

Harry's Prado v Ronny's Hilux.....got to be on the cards!

[@neth77]

Prado +1 vote here.

[@Husqvarna575XP]

Would be awesome

[@mopk47]

Prado all the way!

[@JLM85_]

Team soccer mum Prado ftw!!

[@rawnature8148]

Think the one with a useful roof rack wins.

[@greg9000]

I wonder how receptive Toyota would have been if you didn't have social media involvement. To see them do this is great but to hear them do this for an ordinary punter off the street would speak volumes for their integrity.

[@andrewrutter2270]

Exactly my thoughts

[@243WW]

I think the average Joe would have got a bill for another $600, no shits given and told more bull shit. I picked my troopy up from Toyota after a recall and had to use the hand break at the first set of lights going home, no breaks at all... U turn back to toyota as they didn't blead the lines... They didn't give a shit, no apology or anything. I mean who sells a car with 100mm offset to the rears anyway? I still like it.

[@DeejayManii]

man, what a bullbar.. im falling in love with a prado!!

[@c4mj0n35]

I love how fred is always just living his best life in the videos

[@ZL1GHZ]

That is a truly fantastic looking bullbar. Good to see manufacturers coming up with designs that work with modern vehicle styling.

[@trav2]

That looks rad man.. rig just keeps getting better and better 👌

[@Chris-74]

Best bar i have seen on a Prado... Just an amazing balance of Toughness and Style !

[@IanCotterill]

Great looking Prado Harry, bar is nice, love this build. Informative video, great stuff. Keep it up! 👍👍

[@Dorko85]

Got the same bin bags for my Defender and Camper. Absolutely the best !!!!

[@MarktheOddJob]

Love the contrast between your 4x4 and mine. They've developed a bit in 50 years.

[@Michael_Mears]

Staying under GVM is important, but check the axle weight limits or axle capacity. You might be under GVM but over on one axle, typically the front. Check at the local weigh bridge...front wheels only then rear wheels only, see what you get.

[@firetofork]

Good call. Thankfully (sort of) I have a lot of weight behind the rear axle which will pull some of it off the front- I also don’t have scrub bars or dual batteries which add a ton if weight there. But I will get both ends weighed once it has the other heavy bits bolted on

[@4x4CampingandAdventures]

I paused my editing for this one she looks bloody mint Harry!!!!

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

That bar looks mint Harry! Great choice. Cheers Steve

[@oskarcaneborg1990]

That is a good looking bar!

[@adventurebound3529]

Dude! You crowdsourced your bumper install, mint!

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Nice Rig . These Prado engines are smooth with enough power for most 4wdriving and touring.

[@splashmaster2000]

Loving these updates on the tourer! Just be careful with your cooling and the spotties. The large ones can block the airflow big time, and you won't even notice without an EGT.

[@rickfranke4886]

Love the offroad clips mate and of course the car too

[@Luca_Natoli]

The time lapse was awesome. 😊👌

[@sf017s4]

Great result, good stuff mate!

[@heatherwenthiking]

12:44 Harry makes Fred disappear into thin air 😭 Prado’s looking great, good job on the bar choice and the amber covers look good

[@peterb327]

Bullbar is beautiful!!!

[@YeahMate07]

Glad your Toyota experience is sorted. Hopefully the average punter has the same luck getting issues sorted from now on.

[@noahjbarr]

Love that bull bar!😎🔥🥵

[@vincentpoole7588]

F2F. Sensational result of the Prado now and great to hear keeping it legal dude ! Double check the DOT requirements for the number and location of extra lights on the front of your Toyota in W.A. ? V.

[@hamishman2196]

The amber covers give a mean look to the black prado. great work

[@joshuabamford5396]

Good to hear Toyota came to the party

[@sweefu2]

Looks great mate! Be careful of the gap between the bar and the front guards, the bar will move a lot on corrugations etc and could contact the body if the gap is too small.

[@bjgtrev1970]

Looks so great good choice in bar

[@CycleNLincs]

Cracking looking bar. If I saw that flying up behind in the mirror, I'd pull over and let you pass. 😎

[@skitzy8189]

I’m so jealous.that looks mint.wish I could get one for my Prado.

[@fishingwiththomas]

Love that bar. I put my Landy on the scales at the tip and with all almost all my gear fitted I came in at 2.1t my gvm is 2.76. I have zero luxury though😁

[@mopk47]

I was looking for a proper rear cam relocation bracket for ages. Can't wait to see what did Harry get.

[@benjaminholloway2451]

Looks very good. Well done!

[@tommccarthy6399]

Looks bloody awesome 😎 great choice

[@ShoeysAdventures]

Looks bloody epic mate! Now we just need to go wheeling ;P

[@angusmcmillan6042]

Looks awesome!!

[@darthvader8433]

Such a lunatic, Fred. I'm jealous.

[@TheMrCotterz]

Hey mate, the only thing I had to be careful of with my GVM upgrade is I went over my front axle loading capacity. With the bar the bash plates winch etc etc. might be worth weighing the front axle. Pedders have a great system for weighing.

[@funkygreendog1]

Loving the prado vids mate!

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

Looks better than most of what Toyota sells in the US, thats for sure.

[@macmacca659]

Bar looks TUFF!

[@rjl110919581]

thank you for detail video wish best further plan with your wagon

[@Hazardbone]

That bar looks mint👌

[@leopratistha7925]

Hi offroad crussader! Love your prado and LC200

[@bigt73100]

Great prado to fork vid big H 🍻

[@Adhdroamer]

Would love to see Ronny wheel it 😂. The prado is turning into a absolute weapon

[@explorebound]

Fantastic looking bar, nice choice 👌 Never knew you were from WA! Will have to keep an eye out for the F2F Prado 🙂

[@michaelbautista5803]

That facelift looks like a decepticon!!! Wow!!!👌👍

[@maxrivers4836]

looks absolutely mad!

[@MrOriginalB]

Hope you bought an idrive, I just put one in my Ranger and it’s crazy difference, highly recommend.

[@Malc664]

Maaate, I love your Prado. I want one. 😁

[@tbillington]

Slight correction Harry. Those channels you program into the XRS are receive only, you can't transmit on them to ask for help.

[@brockstravels7586]

I was just going to say that..

[@firetofork]

Ahhhh good to know! Cheers

[@HighTowerAU]

Uniden 8080 (got mine in 2013) has replay. Will replay last 1 minute of recieved transmissions, even multiple calls. Its weird turning on the uhf after a night camping and playing back yesterdays calls to your mayes packing up camp....

[@chasinlines4803]

I have the same bushranger lights dam they are good

[@samstock6565]

Nice one forker..👌

[@codey_c8891]

Love the bar. I have the same bar on my ram without the hoops tho

[@wiinux]

love how freddy just does his thing, 'oh! nice stick! ah, Harry's busy, i'll munch it in front of him until he's ready."

[@neth77]

This bar looks insanely good, i love it. But man the weight.. I went with TJM but kinda wish i had this. 🤐

[@placestosea]

great that you discuss GVM. for the prado ( and towing) have you considered maximum rear axle load? particular tow ball weight/rear axle over hang calculation?

[@paulczernotowycz2305]

Wicked beast

[@PadmaDorjee]

I love your videos Harry. Your voice is soothing a cool; have you done any voiceover work? Also, what was that chair you were sitting in?

[@Gee-Wizz]

Good to see Toyota Australia giving one of their dodgy dealers a kick, guess it pays to have a youtube channel. Good luck every one else.

[@barrakooda2900]

looks smiko Harry

[@michaelblock3998]

Wished we had the bumper choices for the Prado/GX you guys have.

[@deathsbane0]

Fred just activated his cloaking device!

[@NathanKingOverland]

Looks amazing! On the better ride with the bar, did you upgrade the front suspension when you had the bags added to the rear?

[@SFD183]

Great video. Just wondering if you looked at the Smart Bar when you were researching bull bars?

[@quanglam4580]

Uniden 8080s and newer has repeat playback feature, Gme got it off uniden.

[@NobbyBinks]

I always though the Prado's front was ugly. That bar changes everything.

[@2Oxyuranus]

Make sure you get your wheel alignment checked Harry. The extra added weight on the front will make a big difference. Wouldn't want you to chew your front tyres out.

[@firetofork]

Good call. My front tyres are howling at the moment

[@2Oxyuranus]

@@firetofork and I must say that the Prado is looking very very nice.

[@mothergoose3064]

Prado looks great. BTW speed limit in WA when towing is 100km/h. Seems many people don't know that.

[@Malc664]

Yes, and not the same in all states. We need more education on a lot of things don't we. Like the roof rack debacle.

[@firetofork]

All good mate, I know the limit, but I just plant my foot when it comes to overtaking road trains

[@tracklifex5259]

Wow super fast motion 🧐😳

[@stuartkcalvin]

Great piece mate, thanks. 08:25 "pull the winch out"? Pull the rope out?

[@km4fsi827]

i wish i could get one to fit my Tacoma, but here in the US its hard to find one that does not make you have to cut the body panels of the truck.

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

Time for a beer.👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🍺🍺

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

ba ha... I just said the same ! 👍

[@andrewrutter2270]

Assuming you've had the ECU update from Toyota as the fix for the oil parameter issues? Changing the oil was a temporary fix as you said. But probably a good change for up in the Kimberly. 👍🏻

[@firetofork]

I have mate

[@elrud5964]

I like raslarr. 6mm plate with 5mm hoops

[@jamesdaly3926]

I could of sworn your prado was maroon, but looking back through your videos it obviously isn't, or wasn't, tripping 😅

[@Land_Cruiser_40]

3 and 5 mm steel... How many sets of front wheel bearings and tie rods did you get with that bar? You're going to need them. And tires! Holy smokes. Cheers

[@infernotrout7801]

Amber covers are awesome for those long night drives, road signs reflect alot with normal white lights, so your eyes are not strained with the ambers

[@abazdarhon]

Amber cover or light are design for snow fall and rain no to use out of this condition

[@apsilonblue]

@@abazdarhon Amber supposedly works best for dust. It's why you see offroad racers with rear amber lights for collision prevention.

[@abazdarhon]

@@apsilonblue shame they not use them at front to see thru that dust ....

[@apsilonblue]

@@abazdarhon Some do, it's personal choice but the rear lights are mandatory I believe.

[@infernotrout7801]

@@abazdarhon Yeah No worries Karen..

[@emortalbob2]

I bought the 2021 Prado diesel VX. Same color. You made it look too good. Same everything. I'm upgrading the snot out of it. $15,000 USD with of upgrades. BUT*** We only have TJM XGS 4000 w/ 2 inch lift. There are no reviews on the internet for a Prado. Can I get some of your thoughts????? I live off-road in the deserts of Mongolia.

[@benwilkinson7181]

Nice beehive tool bag

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

Hang on. Just stop..... I need a beer before I watch!!

[@ashwheelhouse4053]

Bar looks great, the build is coming along very nicely! Out of interest, have you had any issues with the cruise control radar? I noticed that you removed the radiator grille (where the radar is located) to fit the bull bar and obviously with the considerable extra front end weight you’ve now added, along with bigger tyres, suspension lift etc. I wonder if you’ll need to get the radar re-calibrated at some stage.

[@firetofork]

No issues at all

[@gregdavis3246]

The Uniden UH9080 has the playback function.

[@krump743]

The uniden 8080s also has the ability to monitor two channels at once as well as playback function. Everyone saying the oricom was one of the first to do it with its two channels at once thing it does.....

[@callumward1277]

Looks wicked mate follows the grill lines very nice.. this bar wasnt on the market when i got my prado wish i could justify changing tho.. does that aerial upset your lane managment camera?

[@firetofork]

Nah no issues with radar or cameras mate 👍

[@ca0520]

What's the weight of the bull bar? Thanks

[@timsimpson2245]

Any chance you can keep us up to date with cost to date

[@chillfrog1438]

Mint

[@henrybarwick7712]

I love at 12,40 the dog just disappears!

[@Husqvarna575XP]

Do you have a front locker?

[@scumpert]

Will you provide the cost of the upgrades?

[@BigMac-404]

Considers the dog before the wife... good man!

[@mateuszcebula5932]

Hey. Nice Prado! Quick question did you have any more rubbings on your stock bumper after you trim it a bit? Reason I asked is i’m also going for some mods on my Prado 150 now. Will put 2” lift and same wheels as you plus tyres 285/70/17. I was just wondering should I change a stock bumper also or just trim it and it will be fine.

[@firetofork]

Trimming and wheel alignment is all I needed mate

[@lukehutchinson6754]

Have you considered replacing the standard start battery to lithium? That could save a few extra kilos and also give some spare power, DCS looks to be a quality under bonnet battery. Cheers 🍻

[@firetofork]

What Tony said

[@drew5763]

My next crank/winch battery will be a lithium 👍👍

[@krump743]

Crashed my dmax at 100km per hour on the hwy after some airhead pulled a youturn right into me. My afn bar copped the impact on the left wing, it didnt move at all, held its shape and didnt smash into any panels. Afn is strong as.

[@Malc664]

Does it have scrub bars? Sounds like a miracle.

[@krump743]

@@Malc664 no scrub bars the only "mod" i did was put two pin bolts in it to negate the elongated holes. Just real life afn bar experience. Not hear say from my mums cousins sisters brothers dads cousin said so.....

[@dme6991]

Think you will find that throttle lag you are talking about is in fact turbo lag. I bought one of these cars for my wife don’t get me wrong we both really like the car. But a throttle controller isn’t going to fix turbo lag. It is a relatively small capacity motor so to combat that they slap a big turbo on it. Problem with big turbo small motor is motor needs to be spinning hard to get power out of it(hence turbo lag) as I said Int get me wrong great car really happy with mine just don’t get your hopes up about a throttle mod maybe look at a reputable company for a reliable re map to get boost on sooner. Havnt done this to wife’s prado but my cruiser is remapped and the difference is night and day. Keep up the good work

[@firetofork]

I expect turbo lag, although the newer ones have a high flow turbo and a flatter torque curve, so it shouldn’t be as pronounced as the pre-Oct 2020

[@jamiecarns4449]

Loving the car mate 👌 About to do a similar build once our car arrives. How do you do find the bar goes with the 360 camera?

[@firetofork]

Barely notice it on the camera (it’s insanely low profile) but I think it would be terrible with most bars

[@jamiecarns4449]

Thanks mate
