Thanks, unfortunately most of the Prius community doesnt share your enthousiasm haha.
So far the major changes are the obvious larger all terrain tyres and lights, stripped out the rear end of extraneous seats, built a custom tow hitch and rear platform for carrying the larger spare wheel and other bits and pieces, and glued 220w of flexible solar panels to the roof.
Future plans include:
Rear interior remodelled to suit camping/overlanding on weekends and construction work during the week
OBD Dongle with various diagnostic apps (in the mail)
Lithium battery conversions (both the 12v and HV eventually)
A 40mm lift kit (in the mail)
The rest of the lights swapped to LED or HID
New front bumper with extra clearance, protection and integrated grill block
New flat under floor with integrated protection
Rear diffuser extension with integrated protection
Rear wing extension
New audio/entertainment system
Probably lots more along the way, il start a thread for it in the appropriate place soon.
