Its a Prado. Australia has never been a big market for SWB's for i'd say thats why we never got it.

Gosh, I hope those spotties on the first one don't restrict his airflow
too much.
I've seen some huge spotties mounted to bullbars, but that's ridiculous.

I'm sure if manufacturers could make money off SWB cars they would be!adamj1300 wrote: gee the number of gq swb patrols ive seen disagree with that?
There were plenty of shorties of all breeds around in the late 80's/90's (and before). Guess demand just died off.

light duty (hilux running gear) cruisers have been called prado's in other markets well before we got the 90 series prado out here. the "bundera" is labelled a prado in other markets, so that one could very well be a pradoHoppy11 wrote:The first one cant be a Prado, looks more like a 79???, coil front.

Yes. Manufacturers were selling them, but not many people were buying them. Yes, you see shorty Patrols around, but nowhere near as many as long models. Same with Pajeros and Jackaroos.dogbreath_48 wrote:I'm sure if manufacturers could make money off SWB cars they would be!adamj1300 wrote: gee the number of gq swb patrols ive seen disagree with that?

I think the Defender 90 is the only shorty being imported at the moment (other than the Wrangler - does that have a lwb version?) although I've heard talk that Mitsubishi may bring the shorty Pajero back. I'll believe it when I see it.
