Basic accessories for Prado to go outback 4WDing

[RobbosPrado]

Hi everyone, just bought a Prado and wondering what are the basics I need for outback 4WDing?

It already has:

bullbar

spotlights

AT tyres

duel tank

duel batteries

I think I need a snorkel, air compressor, UHF, snatch straps, maybe a roof rack?

Should I raise the suspension from the standard height?

Thanks!

• UHF is definitely a must!!!
• Snorkel isnt needed if you dont intend to do any deep river crossing.
• Air compressor is required if you in the bush and hours away from the nearest town and you have a slow puncture.
• Ditto for snatch straps, the item is so small that it takes little space to store.
• Roof rack is only required if you ran out of space to store stuff inside the car, otherwise its a good fuel wasting feature if unused.

You dont really need raised height for most outback adventure, for a 2005 you really need to inspect the structs and springs to make sure they are in good condition to take the punishment from the corrugations.
