prado wins hands down besides the rust. not leaf sprung its coils. starting again prado be my vehicle choice. absoloutly miles ahead of a surf. pity about the rust. pto winch option available. radius arm with solid axle. surf is crap in comparison. if you can deal with the rust ....

My comment would be, if you are going to do a 130 surf, get a 4 door one before you spend lots on a 2 door....

Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

thats pretty much what I was thinking, all depends what you want to do with it and what you expect of it coz they will both handle very differently
