Well I'm going to ask what's wrong with it. Someone had the money and created their own custom vehicle exactly the way they wanted it. Much like people here modify their own vehicles...

[whitakerb]

WHATTTTT!!! I CANT HEAR YOU!?!?! HANG ON ILL JUST TURN IT...... oh thats better, the alternator just died...

How do you change gear, there a sub in the way??

I agree. I would say that vehicle has been modified to a higher standard than probably anything I've seen on here.

I'm not particularly in to that type of thing at all, but kudos to him as he's done well. We're as bad as the anti-4WD brigade in some respects by knocking it.

Why is it for sale then? Not just the way they wanted!

[V8Ian]

Why no RWC

Taste change? Wanted another project?

Neat...been wondering what else I could do with the disco!! Now I know...

Can you imagine if that thing had a soul? It would be crying out over the double humiliation! Firstly its a Prado, which is bad enough, and then that guy does that to you! Gees...life sucks.

[Bigbjorn]

Yet another motor hobbyist who has confused the cost of his hobby with value adding.

Collector car restorers are frequently guilty of this. "I have spent $pick a figure and I intend to get my money back".

Except in rare cases what they have is a cheap mass produced car of no great technical merit (any Toyota), or any competition history, restored at great expense to a standard the manufacturer never intended or indeed could achieve at the time of manufacture.

This guy has a Toyota Prado. Send it to an unreserved public auction and discover its true market value, maybe $20,000? He could take off most of the add-ons, sell them for whatever he can get, and achieve book price for the remainder. But not $69,900. This is a dream figure. Unless he can find a true wood duck he will have the car for a long time.

[andrew e]

not my cup of tea either, but what a great bit of fab work. If only he was into 4x4ing rather than bling bling doof doof.

I am however thankful, that he couldnt afford a rangie 4 years ago.......

We're as bad as the anti-4WD brigade in some respects by knocking it.Modified....kudo's.....and some of the other....whoopdee doo's for this toss. Comparing a modified 4WD to take you places and to improve off road performance is not the same as modifying a vehicle to a state of....and let me quote....
I dont know what else to say except that this car is just awesome and turns more heads than ferrarris and lamborghinis that i have driven by far. Its something that needs to be seen to be appreciated and photos dont do it justice in any manner.

Its the ultimate sunday driver, the ultimate show stopper and the ultimate jaw dropper as far modified cars go...I'm sorry is just smothered in wankerama....ppppuuullleeeaaasssseeee.

How super for them to "Why Not" to a Prado........for sure "Why Not".....but Ill bet there begs more questions as to "WHY????".

We have every right to knock it and such of its ilk....as it is pointless....ridiculous...I cannot remotely fathom a reason for doing that......bar that one would have a little weener....is a poser....and as I stated...not should they only shove their jatzy up the nether reasons...I'm probably to late....it's already there :D. Ultimately...who cares....right?

thats what it boils down to if he chose to do it WHY NOT!! why should it bother you that he did why should it bother anyone that he may of done it to pose?
why should it bother anyone that he may of spent all his money doing it....he has obvioulsy put it in shows, Why because there are obvioulsy people out there that like that sort of thing...So I say again WHY NOT? I dont particually like the car either I like the seats but the rest is not to my taste......
BUT who am I to sit up on a throne and call him a ****** just because its not to my taste and doesn't conform to what I think is right,,,,

Your post and what you have written I feel sums you up completely:)

[V8Ian]

I aggree with all you have said Stevo, and enjoyed the delicate way you have put it. :Rolling::Rolling:It's not what I would have done with a lazy $80-90k. but does it differ greatly from any other Toorak Tractor that has never Ventured beyond Mt Eliza? :confused:

There is no difference between what we do and what he does and I've got no doubt that he says about modified 4WD's exactly the same as what you're saying. Its really not that hard to see things from another persons perspective. Clearly he's into comp music or show car scenes etc and good on him for it, just because some other person doesn't value that, it's not to say that it doesn't have value.

As to WHY. Well, a brief think about it tells me that its something that interests him, its a scene that he enjoys, its a technical challenge that he likes to engauge it, it has attention grabbing aspects which he likes, it appeals to his pride in workmanship, he is excited by sound systems, loves technology etc etc etc but really, just to have fun is a good enough reason by itself and not something that he needs to justify to anybody but himself.

If he doesn't already it will be soon!

Yeah, I get all that, but why the lights in the roof?

[slug_burner]

Hobby, fine. We all do things others would not spend their money on.
Workmanship, appears good from this side of the screen.
The package, no my cup of tea.

Best thing about, it gave people something to talk about on a quiet Sunday.

Buyers? Maybe a car audio shop as a promotion vehicle?

It's his car....he can do whatever he likes to it ;)

Well put, we said the same but with lots and lot more words :D

Your post and what you have written I feel sums you up completely:)Seriousy DB...do you honestly think I care what you feels sums me up. I have more intellect to know that an opinion or a view doesn't sum up.....anyone...on this forum.

I have an expressed an opinion...whoopde doo...who cares...like "duhhh" of course it is his/ or her car and they can do what they want. But if you are going to put on such an expressive show....like anything....including even a poster on a forum....you will get both positive and negative responses. Mine just happens to be negative.

I have seen many modified vehicles of that nature....old bangers bought back to beautiful glory....and they make sense. This doesn't....I...personally think it is ****....but ultimately who cares. You have shared your opinion....kudo's to you and hurrah hurrah....I also have shared mine...simple.

However what I do not do is try and determine that your words written on here are somehow a summing up of yourself....your lifestyle....who you are to friends and family etc etc To do that, makes one pathetic....judge the comment....tackle that.....ya know??

Seriously, there are heaps of people who will appreciate this.

Unfortunately they are the type that drive around Mooloolaba/Mt Gravatt/Broadbeach, with mums credit card, the windows down and the volume on "11", revving their engine near anything in a skirt....:p

I think he should've extended the head room for himself and the new owner.

It's not easy to get into a vehicle like that, with a large appendage sticking out of your forehead. (also the reason he probably wears his hat backwards or to the side). :twisted:

but if I have offened you by having an opinion steve sorry!

you wrote what you wrote I just said it sums you up......as it is an opinion that you always seem to revert to, so if you dont actually back what you wrote I will say it again I'm sorry for having a preconseved Idea of what you are like from reading your words on the net.

I'm sure you have many preconcieved I deas about me too.....:)

So lets just put this behind us and be friends:eek:

[Shonky]

Fact: He is an enthusiast who has a passion for cars. Obviously a hell of a lot of devoted work has gone into the vehicle to bring it to that standard, and it probably suits his purposes (kruzin with his bros, pikken up chix, goen to tha club wit his homies) amicably.


Opinion: HOLY CRAP! What an UGLY piece of wankfest that is! Why on earth would someone take a car as ugly and useless as a Prado and make it even MORE ugly and useless... Those wheels are obvisouly trying to compensate for his tiny, tiny di..............................



That is all. :)

[loanrangie]

Its a pity a wharfie didnt drop a container on it during the photo shoot.

[51jay]

Its obviously built as a show car and cost hair raising dollars + a huge amount of dedicated work. It would be a contender for at least a class win at any decent modded car show. Heis selling 'cos its finished ....... on to the next super project.

Thank the lord for car nuts, regardless of their taste. :)

Nice work.
But I rekon DirtyDawgs going to to a better job on his Mrs' new Rangie.

I never, ever did get to see that tv program, Pimp my ride, but now, i don,t feel like i,ve missed out on anything,,,:D

[Disco_owner]

I would Take it to Vic high country , but before I do , I'd disconnect all that Pro Sound gear and advertise it for a Ricer to pay some good $$$ , take the Chromies off it as well , and put some average tyres on it. while I'm in Vic High Country I'd make sure to I find a Big drop and neutral and push it over the edge:o:D and the Money I'd make from the sale of the wheels and the Sound gear I'd finish my Rangie Project.

[rmp]

Live and let live.

As someone who considers climate control and electric seats bling my views on this...thing..are that I wouldn't have done it. But his car, his money, his life. I like my cars practical, he likes his impractical. I do appreciate the skill displayed by the builder(s) though.

He's selling it because for him the thrill is clearly in the build up, not the finished project. Plenty of people like that in the 4WD and Land Rover world too. Again I'm not one of them, but I do understand them.

But please god if you exist, don't ever let him near a Rangie Sport. I'd have to revise the live and let live philosophy.

[djhampson]

I see this car driving around Toowong all the time.. Bloody horrible looking thing...

[vnx205]

Let me see if I have this right,

He has a TV screen that can only be viewed by opening the back door and standing outside the vehicle. It is surrounded by speakers that look as if they are intended to be turned up so loud that you would be deafened unless you stood back so far that the picture on the screen would be miniscule.

Or have I missed something?

PS. I think I have worked it out. I was assuming items on the vehicle were intended to be useful, practical, attractive or an improvement. Now that I have looked more closely at the wheels, the four flux capacitors and several other items, I can see that I had that wrong.

The TV is not intended to be used. He just put it there to prove that it could be done.
