[@Lewythefly]

Good work. There are more people making the square buttons for Prados now, I've been looking for mine

[@AaronOffroader]

LewyTheFlyS13 yeah alright! It took so long hey. If i need 2 more switches ill fill the panel on the left :) For the right i prefer the rectangle ones all the same :)

[@Jay-hr9ci]

Can't wait

[@AaronOffroader]

Jay Awesome man! 💪🏽

[@DjF1986HAFHde]

Hey Aaron what Torque Converter lockup kit do you have mate?

[@Johnnywraphood]

Great video mate

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

I love my Richards lock up kit in my 200. We might meet up one day. I work in New. Cheers Steve

[@AaronOffroader]

Mudduck's 4wd Touring ahh Yes! They are pretty effective hey! Notice quite abit of fuel saving too 👌🏽 In Newcastle?

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

@@AaronOffroader I live in Raymond Terrace and work at Hamilton lol

[@matts885]

Hey mate, Great video thank you! Can I ask what type of lock up kit you have and where did you get it ? Cheers mate

[@mungbean84]

So what did they say about adjusting the low speed? Thinking about adding same to my FJ. Are you considering doing the valve body as well or is the control module enough for normal highway and beach?

[@Ben-hi5lr]

What are your thoughts on the y62?

[@AaronOffroader]

Ben jamin hey man! I do quite like some aspects of them. Can be modified quite well. Quite expensive for a good one and not really a petrol V8 4wd type of person. Also the dash/ interior looks quite outdated.

[@Ben-hi5lr]

Aaron Offroader go test drive one👍

[@AaronOffroader]

Whys that bro? Are you a massive fan?

[@MrGgraham76]

great build. did you film changing your diff ratios.... was it difficult?

[@AaronOffroader]

Thankyou. I never changed them. It actually feels completely fine to drive with the 6sp auto and the TC lockup kit

[@MrGgraham76]

after all the body lift and body mount chop, do you have any rubbing issues? Are you happy with the set-up, any long term review on body mount chop (good or bad decision etc?)

[@AaronOffroader]

Yeah i love the setup! No rubbing but keep in mind the BFG KM3s are a small tyre and they are 315/70/17... full size 35s would rub alot on the tops of the guards.

[@fogo888]

Hey bud what brand / type of phone holder you got there 3:03 ?

[@AaronOffroader]

Hey man, its a Scroche Dash mount. Just under $30

[@musokid89]

Hey Aaron, I notice you’ve got a magnetic magic mount phone holder stuck on the dash. I’ve got the same one mounted on the windshield of my car but lately I’m finding my phone slightly slips on rough corrogations. How have you found yours? I’ve been considering looking into a RAM mount or something similar. Thoughts?

[@AaronOffroader]

Brendan Toohey have you got the same scroche brand? Mine can hold a full size Ipad on there with pretty rough terrain. If you have something different maybe try this brand :) Ive got the large stick on plate on my small phone also

[@musokid89]

@@AaronOffroader yea mines the scorche one with the large plate on the back of my phone case. weird, might just be wearing down over time or something. cheers for the reply!

[@Mart25F]

What's the tc lock up option for? Where i'm from that is not common or known at all.

[@mungbean84]

Torque converter lock up for automatic transmissions. Google is your friend...

[@Mart25F]

@@mungbean84 thank you, you were really helpful.

[@CorbinHurst88]

Nice Ep mate. Ey, with your auto HB - did yours ever work with the spotties? I hooked mine up with the crush clip they supplied, but it doesn't work with the auto HB function?!

[@AaronOffroader]

Yeah nahh. I think its designed not to work as a safety feature to not melt peoples eyeballs

[@steve4wder450]

It says in the manual that spotties wont work on auto high beam

[@AaronOffroader]

Thanks Stephen 👍🏼

[@earloffife4505]

Hey Where d I'd you get that blue tool for taking off the trim

[@AaronOffroader]

Darren McIntosh Hey mate. Its part of a Kincrome panel removal set. Not too expensive. About 4 tools I bought from an auto parts store that stocked Kincrome stuff 👍🏼

[@nvrluki7608]

Auto barn has these

[@sashabasalo9198]

Hey Mate Where d I'd you get that switch plate.Thanks

[@AaronOffroader]

Toyota mate as per part number shown in the vid 👍🏼

[@SimonElenor]

Just twisting wire together is a bad idea. There is too much resistance through the join and it will come loose over time. Please consider soldering!

[@AaronOffroader]

Hi mate, yeah everything gets soldered and covered up with heat shrink or at the very least. Tape. Must have cut abit of the video short did I?

[@SimonElenor]

@@AaronOffroader LOL. Yeah. Awesome. Good to know. Just seemed like you were twisting them. Great video though mate.

[@AaronOffroader]

Haha all good man, definitely not :)

[@goldenboyi1989]

why on earth are u changing the wiring on this car? changing everything-u might as well build your own car the way you want it

[@AaronOffroader]

GoldenBoy you dont have to view any of my videos, find something better to do.

[@goldenboyi1989]

@@AaronOffroader i am just wondering why anyone would buy a new prado and tear it down from top to bottom-and spend so much money? why not just buy a heavy duty truck? a 200 series or even Iveco or 70 series? why tear a prado like that-so many options to choose from

[@AaronOffroader]

GoldenBoy you said build a car how i want. So i have added to an already quite capable car. Making it more capable and how i want. This car was not new and if you must know ive built this Prado for less than a new Standard VDJ79 GXL. With a cheap Toyota Tray. Which is already a much inferior vehicle requiring alot more mods.

[@goldenboyi1989]

@@AaronOffroader why is a VDJ79 an inferior car? i almost bought that double cab before i went for the new prado

[@AaronOffroader]

GoldenBoy well go and buy one then.
