Odd Prados

Post by xagtho »

Was driving to work yesterday on the west side of town when a bit of an odd prado caught my eye, I hadn't seen one done like this before

somebody must have loved/hated there prado to do this

Then on the way back from the east side of town that same afternoon I saw this little baby coming up from behind
Image
I was unaware of there existence untill yesterday

Actually for phone pics thru a window. I thought they where pretty good.

As for the shorty playdo. I had heard of them. They are a grey import thing, like skylines supras etc. Toyota never brought them in.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY....

The Prado shorty looks pretty cool...

It would make a good roller skate.

Yeah, my question too, why? :?

... well ... looking at the pic, it doesn't seem like it's intended for hardcore off-roading, I guess the cut was to make a great on-road vehicle more useful for work. :?
