As a fellow J120 owner, I admire your skills and the vehicle's capabilities. While I prefer calmer roads, it's incredibly reassuring to know my Prado can handle anything. Great content!
Nice meeting you! We have had our share of daring roads and also starting to move to more calmer roads. I can assure you your Prado will take you anywhere!! The Prado is incredible. We just did another 8000km over 5 borders with him. Over 400 000km on the clock now. Love it!! Thank you! Happy you like the content. Our next Africa adventure will be on UA-cam late October. Thank you for following and being part of our offroad community.
You have definitely definitely delivered this review with class, defined points, technical details, sexy voice and creative skills. Thank you for your video. Beautiful scenery in your gorgeous country. ❤❤
@ ok, very much looking forward to the fishing video, we resided in Sandton, 10 years ago. Love SA and it’s civilised folk. Take care of yourself and your family. ❤️
@@WilkoMostert Hi Wilko. We had them custom made im South Africa. He made our bumper front and back, bash plate and rock sliders. The company name were Red Pepper. After all these years they still in good condition.
Out of curiosity, there has obviously been many mods made to your prado to get clearance and make it a more suitable offroad vehicle. What I'm more intrigued by is that water crossing you did that covered the bonnet of the Prado..now I'm not 100% on that model vs my 2006 Grande Petrol, but surely they have the same electronic setup which still doesn't make it a good car for river crossings. Petrol vehicles in general vs diesel. Besides the snorkel, what else was done to the prado to make it possible to cross these rivers without damaging electrical components, or did you have issues relating to that crossing afterwards? Any type of servicing done afterwards? I am contemplating to get a snorkel as due to some floods here in Australia I was forced to cross what's usually a dry river bed but at least it was at tyre height after waiting for the waters to calm down. So some say it isn't worth getting a snorkel for a Petrol Prado so just wanted your thoughts and opinion on this? 🙏
That water crossing was a bit deeper than expected. We have put this 120 through some horrid places and he will be doing 5 Africa countries self drive soon. Including Botswana again. It has had many modifications yes. Regarding the river crossing prayer. Only thing we have had in the past was the battery being wet and kept showing a battery light… but no. Nothing else. Only issue was that the water entered the inside of the car. And we had to air it for a day to dry. We actually hd to go through that crossing twice to the dead tree island. We dis not know that the road was closed.
Think make sure of your wading depth, but it is not ideal I think. Consider ourselves lucky this time around. We were in the Delta. Crocs in the river and predators around us. Shut eyes and go🥴 let me know how it goes!

Great video. Thanks for the reassurance. I just got a 2007 J120 in pretty good nick and I can't wait to test its chops.
Enjoy it! Let me know how it goes! You can DM us on Instagram. Would like to know
Have you tested your 120??
