Walk-around - Land Cruiser Prado 120 tourer

A walk-around of my 2004 Land cruiser Prado 120 series, 4L V6.
Or the GX470 as its known in some other countries.
Setup for touring / overlanding / camping, I go through some of the mods and accessories fitted.
Check out my mates 120 Prado: • Modified Toyota LandCr...

This is one of the neatest, organised, practical and well thought out setups I’ve seen. Well done mate, great vid

[@yosoyhelio]

indeed

[@reeceg6058]

Well done. Very clean and simple mods to get you out for a weekend or do some touring! I have the same model running the v6 and couldn’t be more happier with it. Reliable and plenty of grunt !

[@tumelokgatshe5190]

Amazing amazing, amazing!!!!! There's nothing that car can't do my man ... money well spent!!!🎉🎉 enjoy more family outings🎉

[@xxSavy10xx]

This is amazing. I have a Prado 150 and you’ve literally nailed every single thing I want.... thank you sir 👍🏼

[@paachi]

Just came across this video. Amazing and clean build. I like that you can switch it to daily driver duties in 20 mins. Keep up the good work!!

[@ltx383]

Literally best build I’ve come across. I’m here in the states and really wanting to pull the trigger on a GX470 If I had the skill and patience I’d spec it out just like your rig. Thanks for the inspiration man!

[@Moondoggy1941]

I just bought a GX 470, it doesn't seem to hard to do most of it.

[@IDontTalkToCops]

Nice build! Has given me more than a few ideas for my 120. Thanks for posting 👍

[@MrOldtimer62]

Having just bought a Prado with plans to get out and about this has been a fantastic video to kick me off, well done, great ideas from front to rear and everything in between 👍👍👍

[@chappelle121]

No worries, glad it was helpful for you :)

[@usher0410]

Amazing build. I might copy all of the mods. Love how you put the air compressor in the boot.

[@rasta77-x7o]

Just grabbed a 120, thanks for the video and inspiration, it won't be stock for long. :)

[@chappelle121]

Thanks mate, good luck with your build :)

[@brendanmclennan5021]

mate, one of the cleanest builds I've ever seen. Very nice work. If you haven't already add a rubber plug to your air compressor outlet on your bullbar so you don't get water in there.

[@chappelle121]

Thanks mate - Yeah I ended up moving my compressor to inside the car in the boot so not so much dust gets into it and its cooler in there, I have an outlet at the back now rather than the front

[@therivermoorabool773]

I know your vid is a few years old now but I’m going to spec my 120 out in a similar fashion. Thanks so much for sharing

[@rt-ks2bh]

VERY WELL EXPLAINED AND SUPER TIDY,,THX FOR TAKING TIME IN MAKING THIS VID AS I JUST PURCHASED A PRADO 2007 AND WAS LOOKING FOR IDEAS ON HOW TOO,,I AM GOING TO BUILD A REPLICA OF YOUR SETUP,,,MUCH APPRECIATED,,MANY THX

[@chappelle121]

No worries, good luck with the projects.

[@rt-ks2bh]

@@chappelle121 Chappelle can you plz tell me is your cargo barrier a full size one or have you fitted the half cargo barrier size

[@chappelle121]

@@rt-ks2bh it was a full size cargo barrier, it was actually to suit a mitsubishi van I got it for free and just cut it and bolted the bottom to the top of the drawers. That way it left room for the water bladder between it and the seats.

[@rt-ks2bh]

Awesome setup, very inspiring for my own Prado.

Great setup my Prado 120 is the same you gave me some good ideas, as for the bull bar I used the Toyota one and had a Toyota cradle added, had fitted a Carbon 12000lb winch, thanks for the walk around

[@chappelle121]

No worries, thanks mate

Great build! I don't even have a Prado but yours is pretty much what I dream of doing in the future. For the next videos please consider asking a friend about doing the camera work so you don't have to do everything with just one hand!

[@papa2k]

More vids to come? Keen to see this in action, great build.

[@chappelle121]

Thanks mate - yeah probably I'll do an update video of some sort, I have added a lift kit and winch and a bash plate and some other small changes since this video. Just subscribe i suppose and you'll see when I end up making more.

@chapelle121 mate love your rig setup. Thanks for your generosity with answering everyone’s questions. I have a 2008 un-modded Prado D4D and want to go in this direction but was a bit stuck even knowing what’s possible. The way you engineered some of those solutions was inspiring. Thanks mate, subbed!

Nice set up

[@texminchin4062]

Hi mate absolutely grouse set up How did you run the hose from the bladder to the outside of the car? Cheers

[@chappelle121]

Hey mate, there is a rubber bung just under the carpet near the rear left tail light area (near the jack compartment) . If you look under the car you will see it. Drill a hole through and poke the hose through

[@lwh8302]

That’s awesome! 😀

[@domwastestimehere]

What an awesome build! In the off chance that you see this 4 years later: Do you ever have issues with rain leaking in through the door seals where you have run wires from the roof and into the car?

[@chappelle121]

Nope, never had any water come in there. I have since re-wired those and ran the wires just to look more tidy. I now have them come out of the left tail light and up to the roof there.

[@capegloucesteradv3250]

sweet setup

[@kaixing25]

Well thought out mate. Well done.

[@bunkertroll8111]

Tnx for showing mate🤘🏻

[@kuldar.]

Great car, love it.

[@swee3414]

Hey mate, what's the bracket that you have your strap going through to mount the gas bottle carrier to the spare? Would appreciate to know, bought the same carrier but have no idea how to mount it!

[@alexfisk4713]

Wow, what an awesome setup! Very, very impressive. How did you mount the fire extinguisher - is the bracket drilled into the step by the rear seat? Great solution to get it out of the way. Love the removable divider and shelf idea too. Thank you

[@chappelle121]

Hi mate, yes - 1 hole is drilled and just a nut on the back of the plastic, and then got 1 longer bolt of the same thread to go into the original threaded car body mounting hole.

[@hissey1]

Nice setup. Curious on how you ran all the cabling up to the roofrack?

[@chappelle121]

There are a few ways to do it, but I ran them out of the door seals, if you look at 2 minute mark you see the wires coming out of the top of the doors up to the roof.

[@jeffreyb.ladlad2409]

Love your prado

[@jasonyannuccelli2499]

Mate… that’s a setup to be very proud of ! 👌🏻 Maybe a dumb question but have you done something to make your kings air compressor stop when it pressures up ? I have one but I don’t think it stops like that at a high pressure. Maybe it does 🤷‍♂️

[@chappelle121]

If its a kings thumper max dual compressor, it should have an inbuilt pressure switch, you don't have to do anything it just cuts out when it reaches a certain pressure, which if your trigger is closed and it's not leaking anywhere it should reach that pressure very quickly and just cut out until you open the trigger or whatever again which will turn it back on.

[@glynrowland83]

Absolutely love your prado! It's given me a few ideas for my own one too. What is the make and length of your roof rack by the way?

[@chappelle121]

Thanks, Its from 4wd Supa Centre, its the 'Full Length Steel Roof Rack', 220cm long

[@rbleegrip]

also do you find that the dual battery in the front has a power drop by the time the power gets to the back to the fridge etc

[@harveybirrell1631]

This is a ripper rig mate! Any chance you’d be open to sharing your plans for how you built the shelf & divider? Just top notch work 👌🏻

[@chappelle121]

Hi mate, thanks ! I don't have plans unfortunately, that one was all just off the cuff figuring it as I go. Basically just got a bit of wood for the divider and cut it in a shape that would work combined with the angle off the cargo barrier, couple hinges and carpet and its done! the shelf was the same deal, just got some wood and carpet and cut to fit in the space

[@ru4reel2014]

[@sebastianspychala]

[@louweeze9667]

Hey a bit late to the party, but nice set up! I just bought this exact model and wondering how your rear door handles the extra weight? I've only got the spare and standard tools on the inside panel and I feel the door is struggling with the weight!?

[@matthewbrundle4982]

Hey like your set up. Wanting to put a shelf and divider like yours in my Toyota prado 2018 150. Just wondering what thickness wood did you use? Also how exactly did you attached it to handles. I can see the O bolts on the actual shelf but could t quite see how it attaches to the handle up top

[@chappelle121]

It was so long ago i don't remember to be honest, wood i would guess around 18mm. Attached to the handles by getting some threaded eye bolts that goes into the same thread as the handles. then another eye bolt on the shelf, and then a turnbuckle that goes between those eye bolts. and back the back just bolted to the cargo barrier.
