Pretty much a complete Prado front end under there Nig. You'd have to ask Trev the specifics cos their not the coils I put in it when it was Sas'ed

Back onto Robs Prado. This round is a 3" exhaust, front mount intercooler (getting water injection too), airbox and stainless snorkel.

First up....... Intercooler mounts

Then onto the dump pipe and first bit of exhaust

excuses - just pulling your chain.

on topic though what material is the filters your using on these airboxs? and by the looks of it, is that a bolt to secure the filter tight?

All good, chains are there to be pulled :lol:

The filter on this one is just a standard Hilux one. Yes the 10mm threaded rod pulls it all together. Just using rubber "o" rings to seal each end of the threaded rod.

tomsoffroad · Post by **tomsoffroad** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 4:09 pm

My jobs done here. Robs going to pull it all to pieces and paint it etc :mrgreen:

Back gassing stainless tube :roll:

Fancy brackets :lol:

And the rest...........

Dirtydog · Post by **Dirtydog** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 5:02 pm

that looks bloody good.

sometimes i wonder if there is a secret bunch of show trucks around there.

cause these trucks have alot more finese in them than some show cars ive seen.

tomsoffroad · Post by **tomsoffroad** » Fri Mar 22, 2013 5:50 am

How did you route this exhaust? it looks like you havent gone through the wheel arch, where did you find the space? also how much for a front bar like robs with pto mount?
Also bloody nice work!
Wish i had your skills.

Big · Post by **Big** » Sat Mar 23, 2013 4:30 pm

I don't see what the cert see's with them..lol but as usual.. awesome

tomsoffroad · Post by **tomsoffroad** » Sun Mar 24, 2013 6:56 am

What paints are you using on the steel work?

Its just primer and satin black enamel from United Paints. Ment to be chemical resistant. Seems to hold up well.

The cert man likes the 600mm long mud flaps which hang off the back :roll:

Couldn't bring myself to post a pic of them though. Mud flaps = 4 easy steps to make a cool truck look gay!! :lol:
