Do it! My then Gilfriend and i did it in 2004. make sure you detour out to chilli beach aswell. Actually you really need to do it twice, once as soon as it opens after the wet, and then about halfway through the season.

if you can get a prado front end for the right price, then definately go that way. I am half way through the conversion myself (and if it costs anywhere near $6k i think i will die).
