Ask any serious four-wheel driver in Western Australia which SUV they trust most to take on a remote outback trip and the Toyota Prado will be mentioned more than any other vehicle. That reputation is earned through decades of real-world reliability, real off-road capability and a build quality that keeps these vehicles working hard long after many of their rivals have been retired. The 120 Series Prado in particular – produced from 2002 to 2009 – is thought by many WA four-wheel drive fans to be the sweet spot of the Prado story: able enough for serious remote travel, refined enough for comfortable everyday driving around Perth, and well-built enough to still be running strongly on WA roads twenty years after it was new. Today the challenge for Perth owners of these vehicles is to find quality replacement parts at a price that makes sense for a vehicle of this age — especially for the 1KD-FTV turbodiesel engine components, 4WD system parts and the increasingly hard to source body panels in the correct silver colour match.

Toyota Prado 120 Series 2005 The Premium 4WD That Perth Trusts
The Toyota Prado has always been that nice middle ground between real off-road ability and everyday family vehicle practicality, and the J120 series, produced from 2002 through 2009, is the generation that managed to get that formula more right than any of its predecessors. The 120 Series came in as a much more refined, spacious and technology-laden vehicle than the J90 it replaced, while still retaining the genuine four-wheel drive mechanical credentials that had always been the Prado’s most important attribute.
The 120 Series Prado’s exterior was clean, solid and purposeful in its styling. The upright windscreen, boxy but well-proportioned body and strong stance gave it a commanding road presence that spoke volumes about its genuine off-road intent, without the agricultural character of the older Land Cruiser models. In silver it looked particularly smart – a clean, professional colour that suited the Prado’s dual role of a capable 4WD and premium family SUV with equal conviction.
The 2005 model year is smack dab in the middle of the J120 production run, and the platform is showing off in a well refined state, with the early production issues ironed out, and the vehicle delivering the consistent, reliable performance that Toyota owners have always expected. While the 120 Series was available in three and five door body styles, the five-door was by far the more popular choice of Perth families requiring genuine seven-seat capability for their large families and weekend adventures.
The engine range for the 2005 Prado was a good choice of petrols and diesels. The 4.0-litre 1GR-FE V6 petrol engine was a smooth, powerful and real-world capable unit that delivered effortless everyday driving performance with excellent tow and off-road capability. For lighter use and more urban-focused Prado owners, the 2.7-litre 2TR-FE petrol offered more modest performance with better fuel economy. Serious four-wheel drivers and high-mileage WA operators favoured the 3.0-litre 1KD-FTV turbodiesel – a four-cylinder common rail diesel that offered great torque, impressive fuel economy for a vehicle of this size and capability, and the long-distance reliability that made it the engine of choice for Perth families heading to Exmouth, the Kimberley or the Nullarbor.
Transmission options were a five-speed manual, a five-speed automatic and a six-speed automatic on some later variants. Drivetrain was a proper four-wheel drive setup with a low-range transfer case — full-time 4WD on higher specification variants, and part-time 4WD on entry-level versions. The trim level ladder started with the practical GX, went through GXL and VX and ended with the fully loaded Kakadu, each rung adding progressively more comfort, technology and luxury features to an already well-specified base car.
Inside the 120 Series Prado was impressive with a really premium cabin experience for its time – well-made materials all around, comfy seven-seat accommodation including a proper third row for rear passengers, a clear and logical dash layout and a range of luxury and convenience features on higher-specification models that really made it feel truly competitive with European premium SUV rivals at a much more manageable price point.
The Vehicle We’re Tearing Up Now
The vehicle we are working on at our Perth facility right now is a 2005 Toyota Prado 120 Series in Silver, a colour that has always looked good on the clean, substantial body of the Prado. For 2005, Toyota offered buyers of the Prado a choice of different silver paint colours, each with its own unique depth, warmth and metallic character. The most popular was Silver Pearl Mica (1C0). Slightly warmer was Classic Silver Metallic (1E7). More contemporary was Blade Silver Metallic (1J4). And the premium was Titanium Silver Pearl (1F7).
This vehicle has arrived into our Perth facility in good overall condition for its age with a good range of exterior body panels, engine components, 4WD system components, interior trim and electronic modules all in genuinely usable shape. No matter what age, make or kilometres covered on WA’s roads, every vehicle we wreck at WA Auto Parts is treated the same way by our experienced dismantling team – professional, methodical and careful. Parts are checked individually, honestly catalogued and properly removed prior to sale. We are always upfront about any age related wear that is present and never exaggerate the condition of parts of older vehicles. Call our team on (08) 9358 1392 and we’ll give you a totally honest picture of exactly what’s available right now.
2005 Silver Toyota Prado 120 Series Wrecker Parts Available
The Toyota Prado J120 series is a well built, thoroughly proven premium 4WD and this wreck gives Perth’s Prado owners, four wheel drive enthusiasts and workshops access to a genuinely useful range of genuine OEM Toyota components. So here is a detailed breakdown of what is currently available:
Body Panels and Exterior Components
Front and rear bumper bars, bonnet, tailboard, all four doors (on five-door variants), front guards, side steps, roof rails, spare wheel cover, body cladding and door handles – all completed in the original factory silver paint. One of the more common body parts requested from any Prado wreck is the spare wheel cover, it is out in the open at the back of the vehicle so it is easily seen by traffic behind and it does fade and crack with age and sun exposure, and it is an expensive item through Toyota dealer channels. Perth Prado owners who have been struggling to find a correct match replacement will appreciate the genuine advantage of having a factory silver colour-matched spare wheel cover available from our current 120 Series wreck. Roof rails and side steps are also common requests, and factory genuine parts from a matching year Prado are always the preferred choice for a proper, factory-standard fit.
Glass and Light
Front head light assemblies, rear tail light clusters, front fog lights, side indicators and mirror assemblies. Large rear tailboard glass, sunroof glass where fitted, front windscreen and door windows also available subject to condition at the time of your enquiry. Large rear tailboard glass and sunroof glass for the 120 Series Prado is expensive through Toyota dealer channels and specialist glaziers and sourcing them from our Perth wrecker is always one of the more financially sound glass purchases any Prado owner can make. Always some of the first to go, so confirm glass availability early on (08) 9358 1392).
1KD-FTV Diesel Engine & 1GR-FE V6 Engine Parts
“This is where our current wreck becomes the most valuable thing to the Perth Prado community.” Diesel variant owners have the following 1KD-FTV engine parts to choose from: engine assembly, cylinder head (we specifically check for the head gasket issues known in this engine family at higher mileages), turbocharger unit, intercooler, common rail diesel injection system components including the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors, EGR system components, alternator, starter motor, cooling system parts including radiator and thermostat housing and miscellaneous ancillary engine items. The J120 Prado diesel head gasket and cylinder head are some of the most requested parts from any J120 Prado diesel wreck and our team specifically and honestly assesses these components during our inspection process because we know how critical this information is to Perth Prado diesel owners.
If you are a V6 petrol owner, we have engine components in stock for the 1GR-FE engine including engine assembly, timing components (we also specifically check these due to the known timing concerns at higher mileages in this engine family), alternator, starter motor, fuel system parts and cooling components. Please call our team on (08) 9358 1392 to confirm your exact engine code before purchase.
5-Speed & 6-Speed Transmission Parts and 4WD Transfer Case Parts
Depending on the variant of this vehicle, it offers five-speed manual gearbox components, five-speed automatic gearbox parts and six-speed automatic components. For four-wheel drive owners – which covers essentially every Prado buyer – there is the transfer case assembly, front and rear differential assemblies including the centre differential on full-time 4WD variants, driveshafts and associated 4WD system components available from this wreck. WA Auto Parts has quality used wrecker-sourced parts that are a very practical and financially sensible option for Perth Prado owners and workshops dealing with drivetrain wear or failures, given that 4WD drivetrain components for the J120 Prado are expensive through Toyota dealer channels.
Leather Seats Third Row Interior Trim Dashboard
This 2005 Prado’s interior is in reasonable overall condition for a vehicle of this vintage, thus it’s a useful source of interior components that are genuinely difficult to find elsewhere. Items available include front and rear leather seat assemblies for higher specification variants, third-row seat assembly for seven-seat variants – a particularly popular and hard-to-find item for Prado owners whose third row has been damaged or removed – dash assembly, centre console, door trim panels, carpets, headlining, steering wheel, instrument cluster and the infotainment head unit. The third row seat assemblies are one of the more sought after interior parts from J120 Prado wrecks as they are usually damaged and very hard to find in good condition for a 20 year old vehicle. “The fact that they are available from our current wreck is a real advantage for Perth families wanting to get their seven seat capability back.
Suspension, Steering & Braking Parts
This wreck has front struts and rear struts, coil springs, control arms, sway bars, leaf springs on rear where applicable, steering rack components, wheel hubs and bearings, brake callipers, rotors and brake lines. The J120 Prado suspension setup is renowned for its off-road capability and road ride comfort, and if you’re in Perth and you’re suffering from suspension wear or off-road damage, the most cost effective way to address it is to get quality replacement parts from a professionally wrecked J120 Prado of the same generation.
Electrical Modules,ECU, 4WD Control System and Safety Sensors
This wreck is available with Engine control unit, Body control module, ABS module, Airbag control module, 4WD control module and selector switch assembly, Rear DVD entertainment system components where fitted, Climate control unit, Window regulators and Various sensors throughout vehicle. Popular items from premium Prado wrecks are the rear entertainment system components, including the DVD screens and associated wiring, due to the high replacement cost through Toyota and the popularity of the feature among Perth families who have come to rely on rear-seat entertainment for long WA road trips. Call us on (08) 9358 1392 as soon as you can to secure electronic components. These are always the first to go from any popular Toyota 4WD wreck.
Colour Match & Paint Code Information
Getting the silver right on a Prado matters – especially on a big, prominent SUV where big body panels like the tailboard, doors and roof rails make any colour tone mismatch immediately obvious from a distance. The 2005 Toyota Prado 120 Series Silver is one of four factory paint codes – Silver Pearl Mica (1C0), Classic Silver Metallic (1E7), Blade Silver Metallic (1J4) or Titanium Silver Pearl (1F7) – each with its own depth, warmth and character.
Silver Pearl Mica has a cool clean quality with a subtle pearl depth. Classic Silver Metallic is warm and traditional and catches the light beautifully. Blade Silver is more up to date and a little cooler. Titanium Silver Pearl has a warm depth that makes the Prado look more premium in certain lighting conditions. Phone our team on (08) 9358 1392 to confirm the exact paint code on our car and see if it matches yours. Or bring your car in for direct comparison in natural daylight, or send us a clear photo and we will advise you honestly and accurately before you commit to any purchase.

Q2. I have a 2008 Toyota Prado 120 Series with 1KD-FTV diesel & a problem with the head gasket – is it feasible for a 4WD that I rely to get me to remote travel locations to buy a replacement cylinder head from a wrecker?
This is the right question to ask – and the 1KD-FTV head gasket and cylinder head issue is one of the most well documented and popular discussion topics in the Australian Prado community. The truth is yes, if the replacement cylinder head is from a professionally wrecked vehicle, where the head has been specifically inspected for cracking, gasket failure, warping, and general condition before sale – which is exactly what we do at WA Auto Parts. We specifically and carefully inspect 1KD-FTV cylinder heads during our assessment process for the known failure characteristics as we know exactly what to look for and how critically important this component’s condition is to Prado diesel owners who rely on their vehicle for serious remote WA travel. Toyota dealer pricing on a new or remanufactured cylinder head for the 1KD-FTV is really eye-watering, making a quality used unit from a professionally wrecked J120 very practical and cost effective. Be sure to check your specific engine code and build date when calling. Give us a call on (08) 9358 1392) and we will honestly and thoroughly talk you through our findings on the condition of our cylinder head.
Q3. I have an old spare wheel cover for my Prado 120, silver, faded and cracked. Do you do a colour match?
Yes. And the spare wheel cover is actually one of the most requested parts we get from J120 Prado wrecks. Which says it all about how regularly these deteriorate on these older vehicles. The spare wheel cover sits fully exposed at the rear of the Prado in direct WA sun and weather, and after twenty years even well maintained examples are often faded, cracked or sun-bleached to a noticeably different shade than the rest of the vehicle. The spare wheel cover is colour matched to the factory silver paint – a real and practical opportunity for Perth owners from our current 2005 Prado wreck. Bring your Prado in or send us a clear photo in natural daylight before you purchase so we can confirm an exact silver paint code match – Silver Pearl Mica (1C0), Classic Silver Metallic (1E7), Blade Silver Metallic (1J4) or Titanium Silver Pearl (1F7) between our vehicle and yours. It’s important to get the silver tone right on the spare wheel cover because it’s a very visible rear component. Call (08) 9358 1392) and we will sort out the colour confirmation properly before anything gets sold.
Q4. Will the 2005 Prado 120 1KD-FTV diesel engine parts fit the Toyota HiAce or Toyota Hilux diesel?
Yes for a good range of engine components and this is honestly useful news for HiAce and Hilux owners across Perth too. The J120 Prado was also equipped with the 3.0-litre 1KD-FTV turbodiesel engine, which was also used in the Toyota HiAce and a handful of Toyota Hilux models of the same period which means that the 1KD-FTV engine components including the turbocharger unit, high-pressure fuel pump, injectors, cylinder head and various ancillary engine items may be directly compatible with those vehicles. This broader engine compatibility means that our current Prado wreck is relevant to a much wider range of Perth Toyota diesel owners than just Prado owners in particular. The main body and platform are still compatible with the 2002-2009 Toyota Prado J120 series. The same generation Toyota 4Runner and some Land Cruiser models also use the 1GR-FE V6 engine family. Always check with your specific VIN, engine code and build date before buying anything. Call (08) 9358 1392) and our team will confirm compatibility correctly before anything is committed.
Q5. My 2005 Toyota Prado 120 Series is uneconomical to fix – will WA Auto Parts buy it off me and take it away for free?
