Prado 150 rock crawling at Wheeny Creek / Gees Arm South
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 січ 2012
- Two Prado's complete the entire Wheeny Creek / Gees Arm South track near Colo, NSW. It took us 3.5 hours to reach the lookout via most of the hard lines, and 1.5 hours to exit.
Prado 150 with 2" lift, 32" AT and traction control
Prado 95 series with 2" lift, 1.5" BL, 33+" MT, lockers and 4.88 ratios

This guy was calm, cool, collected and obviously experienced...nicely done!
I still feel like he'd be wise to wish for for just another inch of clearance eh, bloody hell that's pushing the limits of what ya can do in that truck before ya start doing a little damage eh
Skilled driving. It's an art to see someone 4WD like this. Beats watching all those idiots that just rev the ring out of their cars to get anywhere. Good work!
+robit28 Totally agree!
Excellent driving. Is it an auto?
Really well done and I love how the spotter gave precise information to the driver... and the rolling rock on the last challenge just showing us how steep it really is
Excellent driving,
Excellent vehicle,
👍
Nice Prado and superb driving and the Geolandars rock.
Awesome video! I was very impressed that it got up that last part with such little fuss.
Top driving! They are some killer rocks for near standard vehicles, the video doesn't give the steepness and size of the steps justice. well done!
Cheers mate. Definitely some good driving on his part! I don't know if I could take a new car like that through this stuff :D
The one of best of video of Prado! Prado is the best!!!!
Great video man! Good driver and great car! Looking at getting a prado and good to see it can still do the tough tracks :D Cheers!
Nice video, I just bought the diesel auto version of this car and I'm liking it,, (coming from a dmax) very impressed with the climb without lockers. Now I'm looking forward to mods and crawling around W.A.
Great video, is nice to see nearly stock trucks over this type of terrain
These new traction control systems are phenomenal
As with any medium, the purpose of editing is to keep viewers entertained. If videos contained the full-length material, people will get bored pretty quickly. The missing parts are mostly the driver/spotter discussing lines or the vehicle reversing back down to try a new line.
Svaka cast! Odlican vozac, odlicno vozilo!
Nice driving and nice Prado.
best prado off road video ever, cheers to all prado owner!!!
Nice video, good to see other 150 Series out in the bush & playing on the rocks. Seems to do with relative ease...... Well done
very nice video, displaying just a little of what a mighty prado can do :)
Fantastic vid. Great to see a couple of young blokes out having a bit a harmless fun in the Aussie bush. It'd great if there was more of it.
Thats impressive. Didnt realise these cars were so capable of extreme off roading. Guess that ladder frame chassis makes it a tough workhorse. They are expensive new in the UK but worth it, although way out my league currently :( Thing is, you cant imagine it ever breaking down.. Would last me for decades ! Have to wait for a few years before I can even attempt to buy one of these. It would have to be second hand though, but it would still last me a very long time. A car for everything, for all weather and all terrain.
Thanks! I used the inbuilt stabilisation features of the video camera - I think it was a Panasonic HDC-HS60. I now have a later model V720M with 5-axis stabilisation and it works noticeably better, which an be seen in my recent Amarok video.
Very impressed with the Prado and crawling traction control. I know this track well and is no easy task..
Another nice vid, enjoyed it!
Thanks mate! Hope to see you on the tracks again soon.
Awesome, great job guys
Good driver!! He knew what he was doing!!
Impressive driving skills and also proves that Toyota has shown the world that their SUVs are most reliable and can go anywhere facing tough places climbing hills and rocks that no any other SUVs can do and not get stuck in deep muddy places.
Any other???

They should call it Jesus. They're not that great.
I could get an old stock V6 Isuzu Trooper up there
Davo george do it and put on youtube
beautiful !
you guys are insane! nice wheeling!
haha glad you enjoyed it !
thank you very much!
beast piece of machinery
Respect in utilising what these things are actually capable of, instead of most people who just use them to go to Westfield.
Great video 🚗
You should really consider lockers for that rig. It wouldn't help the lack of ground clearance, or articulation, but lockers would stop most of your wheel spin and greatly increase traction. And I agree with one of the comments. Good driving skills, in deed.
You are awesome!!!!!!!
Right now I can only dream of doing that. But you did some credible job.
Awesome video!! Very good driver.
thanks sinchi
Agreed! Manuals do have advantages, but not on rock steps. Auto's allow a very smooth delivery of power to crawl and climb steps.
After watching this video I realized that the car Prado will not let me down Thanks Liked
awesome vehicle... saw one upside down ... lying on its roof... but absolute minimal damage... strong vehicle
i know prado
its a good 4x4 but trust me (sand and rock driver) the driver over here is an excellent driver
he knows exactly how much power should the car give and smart user of diff lock .
Nice driving
Thanks, We do too...I,ve got my Bullbar, winch & Mickey Thompsons MTZ's I just need a 2" lift & a snorkel & I will be good to go almost anywhere.
Thanks mate :)
Very good video.
thanks
good work
He loves the power. I'm pretty certain most people are very happy with the 150, for on road and off road driving.
Great work -just wondering what tire pressure you guys recommend for this type of run in the Prado 150?
Very nice video without an annoying music! We'll done!
Nice to see someone actually using their Land Cruiser. I used to own an FJ Cruiser and was amazed at how well it crawled over terrain like this. It had a manual trans. which I feel works a little smoother than the auto as you can lug it down to about 400 RPM and it still moved where the auto has to be revved more. Great video and great vehicle. thanks for posting.
Thanks for the comments rcmaster1029 and NizR33.
Of course this is an edited video. In real life there were a couple more failed attempts, particularly on the climb at 6mins.
Nice work mate I've got a lifted Kakadu with 18" cooper Zeons, snorkel lift etc and they still amaze me how good they are off road....if your game enough.
بصراحه سياره ماعليك أي اعتراض وخاصه أن البرادو ياباني 100%
والسواق برضو كانت قيادة ابداع👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome car, super driver.
The Landcruiser Prado is available in Australia, UK and south American countries. They are most popular in series 90 (Colorado), 120 and 150. They share components with 4runners, Hilux, Tacomas and the FJ Cruiser.
Very good throttle control, and wheel placement can get most vehicles through unlikely places
just a question is this gxl come up with Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) ? because this goes really well thanks
Nice work!!! Good control and not tearing the arse out of the bush and giving the sport a bad name.
Cheers mate, absolutely agree
great Car , very good Driver
This Is AmazinG Car PRADO :)
OFF ROADING IS HIS "HOBBY" :D :)
non equipped KDSS, MTS & crawl control model?
Skilled driver...
very smooth camera work... did you use some kind of image stabilisation feature?
Those are all valid points about the Hilux, at least for old models (the newer models are quite low). However, Hilux's have a major compromise - leaf suspension. In this terrain, coil suspension far outperforms the Hilux's leaf suspension, providing smoother articulation and more stability.
did you put a underneath guard?
I wonder if some modification is needed against the stock GXL prado?
In all my driving I've never seen a manual go smoother than an auto in this kind of terrain, so if you can honestly drive manual smoother than an auto over this kind of terrain, I commend you. Auto's have a liquid filled Torque Converter which allows the driver to adjust throttle and speed gradually and smoothly, whilst the clutch in a manuals tends to just be on or off. Of course extremely low range gears would eliminate these issues altogether.
How do the 150 series compare to the 90 series LC? Off road & on road.
Good job m8
Gotta say nice driving thats a well designed vehicle even if it is a yota... lol jk! Never heard of this rig till today I like em!
haha, glad you enjoyed :D
In most countries of southamerica they are called Totoya Prado Sumo. They are available in 5 door and 3 door with several engine choices...
great video, should really consider getting some air lockers in it ;)
Hey just wondering does it have a lift kit or is it standard? Nice rig anyway and great driving. I'm looking at buying one soon.
it's KDSS suspension
Awesome...I'm about to buy one of these but at $60tk don't think i'd be game to take it on this track...but good to see someone do it.....I was cringing a bit. Did u get any damage underneath? what brand lift kit is it? What tyres are u running and was it a 3litre D4D auto....The ARB bar and snorkel look great...thanks for the show...great thanks
Prado is a good vehicle in no doubt, but I never though it can go this far (I mean rock climbing). Nice work guys, you proofed what Prado capable of. Btw, is it diesel?
Thanks Phil. This one is a petrol
Nice work guys. Even with the auto, it is still very hard to be consistent with the throttle.
Thanks. Yes smooth can be tricky on rock steps especially when traction control kicks in. He done a great job of it that's for sure.
Well done! What mods have you done to the Prado?
Here in Australia it is available with a 4.0L V6 petrol or a 3.0L 4 cylinder T.Diesel .
In the U.S , it is sold under the brand Lexus , under the name plate Lexus 470 LX
Toyota. Unstoppable.
Nicely done, were you using the A-trac button or just the normal always on traction control? Also, does that Prado has Limited Slip differential?
Yes the rear diff is an LSD and he definitely used traction control. I haven't heard of atrac so it's possible Australian models do not have this feature.
Ok, thank you. A-trac is just an offroad version for traction control which makes it more aggressive. Here in Panama it comes in all diesel versions of the Prado and does not come on the 2.7l petrol one.
You use crawl control, or simple trackshion working? Rear axle lock?
Because the active trackshion and crowl control and rear lock on 4.0, not found on 2.7, only simple trackshion, whether 2.7 will be as good or not..
and how he feel he on road*asphalt)??
Good car =)
Good driver on a good car
This car is very good
The Prado 150 had 2" lift, 32" AT's and he got by with traction control.
no lockers
Блокировки похоже обе ARB, хороший танк ! Главное чтобы приводы выдержали.
try it now . very different beast than those days .
No KDSS in this case. It was just driver and traction control :-)
The audio/video speed was not edited. Your computer may be having trouble playing back the HD video.
That 4x4 did not have any protection installed, but it did have 2" suspension lift and upgraded tyre size (265/70R17). I would always recommend at least a suspension lift and upgraded tyres.
круто,водитель красавчик!!!!!
Это целое искусство!
good driving bloke
Nice job ! I have one too and people doubt how handy they are offroad..I also have a GU patrol for the haters
Actually, I was there on Saturday! It's a shame I didn't see you as I'd like to see an FJ on the trails. BTW - You'll probably find it just looks much worse in real life than in the video's ;-)
that’s an easy way to snap cv’s, traction control sucks, lockers are life 😊, good drive all the same, great skills and patience by the driver.
and can you show us prado 150 with 2.7engine??please
no you did not understand i meant how he feel on spphalt prado 2.7???if you can answer me please!i want to byu praod 150 new with engine 2.7 standart complectation or 4.0 engine prestige.i drive 90 percents on asphalt and it is very interesting
