Prado Mods > Front bumper skirts and cutting
Vasja Zupan replied to Rob S's topic in Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Forum in UAE
Hi, I've just got both front and back spoiler removed. Also small front mud flops removed. Not too difficult - approximately 2h job. Yes, it's a number of holes, some rather big May plan for next steps is to trim front bumper, fill the holes and paint all below the line where the spoiler ended black. -
Prado Mods > Front bumper skirts and cutting
Vasja Zupan replied to Rob S's topic in Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Forum in UAE
Hi @Waqas Parvez, your mod looks super nice, I'm researching to do similar or replace the bumper for fibre one. Metal look nice but apparently one would need to pull it of every year to get trough inspection. Besides we do not have kangaroos here ... I have a 2021 Prado Adventure (with additional lips/spoiler below bumpers - even lower then without). Would you mind sharing where did you get skid plate and bumper trim? My whatsapp is +971525086821. Thanks. -
Fewbie level Prado mods
Vasja Zupan replied to Rob S's topic in Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Forum in UAE
Thanks @Rob S this is super helpful for all newbies as well. I'm also finding it difficult to navigate some Prado mods. I have the Adventure model and I'll need to remove front and back spoiler and add skid plate. Plus eventually replace front bumper as the new model will probably look ugly if only trimmed. If any one has any image to share for the modified or fabricated front bumper for new model, that would be great. -
Hi, I'm driving a stock Toyota Prado 2021 only fitted with stock tow hook back and front, not the heavy duty ones, (pictures included) Is this sufficient or do I need to fix additional ones before first drive. I will do that anyway I'm just not sure I'll manage to do that this week. Looking forward to Sunday. Thanks.

I went with AXA at the end - . Agent was talking about 5m limitation but it's not in the final policy (at least I can not find it). But there is section which was mentioned before. It also mentions off road recovery... I guess this is ok. Best, Vasja

Thank you @Tom B. That is interesting - my agent/broker is claiming none of them do. Including Orient.

Hi, received 5 quotes from different insurance companies (all big names locally) and none of them covers proper off road. all have this 50m from road policy... Any idea where to go? Or do you negotiate that directly with the agency or broker?

Fortuner vs Prado
Vasja Zupan replied to Vasja Zupan's topic in Toyota General Discussion Forum in UAE
I've pulled the plug on Prado. And now I'm on the hunt for skid plates and bumper adjustment (trim or replacement) Hope to fix those before I break spoilers off on the drive 🤔 Thanks everyone for help and support. I hope to see you on the drive soon. This is an awesome community! -
Thanks @Gaurav This helps a lot.

I agree.

Yeah, that is a good point Honestly I have no idea how often this happens... Just wanted to be on the safe slide and see if that is something people often buy...

Has anyone experience with Al Futtain / Toyota additional insurance - they call it GRP VRP. It's supposed to cover difference between regular insurance and price you paid for the car. "VRP Insurance is designed to pay the difference between the amount paid under your Comprehensive Motor Insurance Policy in the event of a Total Loss, and the cost of a new replacement vehicle." They also offer this for preowned cars. Price for 2 years is approximately same as full coverage insurance for one year (therefore 50% per year on top of "normal" insurance). Buying a relatively "new" car (recent years) it sounds tempting. Especially if one experiences roll over or some similar stupid thing a Newbie could do Any experience? Is it worth it?

Understood. There is no Dm function on the forum? (sorry for off topic questions and newbie mistakes ) -
Fortuner vs Prado
Vasja Zupan replied to Vasja Zupan's topic in Toyota General Discussion Forum in UAE
Hi, Thanks for all this helpful insight guys. @Waqas Parvez and @Patrick van der Loo where did you get bash skid plate installed? Did you find any kind of bull bar or similar modification for the front (and maybe back) bumper as well? The idea is to install both skid plate and replace front bumper. And keep original parts in order to get the car back to original if needed for resell. -

That is true Another big advantage is price - Fortuner wins that one as well.
