Being a Prado owner, I'm really excited to see what the new look will be for your Prado. (And to make a checklist of what I'm going to do with mine)😁. Love your products and the technology that goes into making them. Cheers

We met "Mr Kaon" at a camping trip to Brooloo park, when he was just beginning the Prado product development journey, wonderful stuff to see that his vision has grown into an outstanding local engineering success story. The prado is indeed a great platform to build on, we loved our 120 Prado and had has great memories from our travels.

Enjoyable video. 2019 GX here with Kaon; - barrier -shelf -recovery points -shift lock release -rear spare tyres spacer -sump plug and tool I have a lift so now looking at the panard correction bracket Will be following the build with interest. Have you got your name down for the new Prado? Would be great to get your hands on one so you can develop gear early in its life cycle Cheers

Guys, the answer to your problem is easy, and you will have change left over. Sell the Van and the Car. Buy a Iveco C50 Van, these things are huge, good strong diesel and I believe you can have a 4.4 mtr interior, high roof long wheelbase. With swival seats you will have more room than your van. You can turn these things into a little apartment. Put a diff lock in the rear and you will pretty much go anywhere. Then buy a 7x5 waterproof duel axel Tradesman covered trailer. In here you can put a 200ltr water storage, 200ltr deisel storage, all your tools and water whatever else you need. 12 Volt and 240 Volt in the van is easy these days. You will have at lease 2,000ks of range, plenty of water to do what you want.

I will be following along as we have purchased a Prado last year and already have some of your accessories. We have yet to select a pod style trailer or set the Prado up for towing so we will keep an eye out for your series. For our Prado we used one of your battery fuse holders for our Redarc BCDC as there is plenty of room on top of the battery, just had to flatten out the bent side bits. Perhaps you could make for a Redarc BCDC and sell it as such. How has the trailer stood up over time, and problems. It looks nice a low to fit in a garage, may look into one. Glad you are redoing this model not the next one, and hope you design some new gear that we can use. A good read bumper and tow bar assy would be nice

Bit mystified why you’d got to all the trouble and expense to lift your vehicle for better clearance to then lose 30-50% of that gained clearance with a diff drop?? Even with the potential for cv binding at full droop it seems wasteful, especially as 90% of people that lift their Prado/ifs vehicle don’t go wheeling hard enough to test the droop.
