Old member back from a long hiatus, now with Off Road Prius!

Hi guys and gals.

I became a member here years ago but took a break for the past few years due to other interests taking over. Now im back on the road with a 2009 Prius and after discovering a less than helpful Prius community for anything that didnt come from the factory I am back here!

My Prius is a little different to the normal builds you will find on this site however (and anywhere else for that matter), I am modifying it to use as a mild off-road camping and overlanding vehicle so there are a lot of major compromises between maximum off road prowess and maximum efficiency.

My previous vehicle for this purpose was a 2002 Subaru Liberty which was excellent at getting me to and from all manor of remote places around Australia, but my wallet didn't agree with the fuel bill. If i can build the Prius to get to >90% of the places i got to in the Subaru, but with <50% of the fuel bill i will be very happy indeed.

I forgot that you need to host photos elsewhere for this site so i cant insert any right now, but here is a link to my Instagram if you're interested in having a look at either #JimThePrius or #Adalax the Subaru
