    Re: Rear Cargo Rack/Barrier- Lifestyle rack

    My Lifestyle Rack and fridge mount turned up last week. John was excellent in making sure they arrived from Melbourne with follow up calls to me etc.
    Fitted them both during the week.

    The fridge mount is specifically designed for an Engel 40 but, I decided to cut off the two tie down points on the front to allow for the slightly longer length of my National Luna Weekender. Just waiting on a mounting bracket from National Luna to install properly. I could just use tie down ratchet straps but may as well do it right.

    The Lifestyle rack really is a tight fit up against the cargo barrier, but it fits well. Had to loosen the cargo barrier first to let it all settle into place but is a very well made great piece of gear. I took the spare wheel off the back door to do a test fit inside the vehicle. I plan to buy a second spare and carry it inside the Prado. Fits nicely on top of the rack. Will stand upright and ratchet strap it to the barrier. The roof will be loaded enough with a Foxwing awning, a Thule roof box which contains our Oztent. Also, just enough room up there for a long handle shovel and MaxTrax. That pretty much puts the roof up to the load limit... not to mention the space limit.

    When I was installing the Lifestyle rack I was sitting on it to tighten up the cargo barrier. it is very strong. Im a happy customer!
    Bought 5 plastic storage boxed from Kmart which fit perfectly underneath. Floor to underside of the rack is 220mm. That is a tight measurement with the rubber floor mat. Will get around to posting some pics soon.

      I thought I'd post a few pics of the Lifestyle rack and fridge mount The latter required a bit of modification for the larger fridge but worked out well.

            I hope those gas bottles are for photo purposes, should really carry them on the roof or trailer matey, would hate for something to happen.

                Hi All

                Just installed the fridge mount for my Engel 40. Very happy with it .....
                Lifestyle racks have been good to deal with and the mount is great. Well made and easy to install once you get past pulling the seat out (and breaking the plastic clips).
                Fridge is easy to access now and my brother is pleased because he scored my fridge slide !!! Storage just got so much simplier.
                Decided against the rear rack as 1/3 of the problem - the fridge - is now removed from the rear areas storage equation.
                Thanks again to Pradopoint for the heads up on great mods.

                  Received my Lifestyle rack last night. No problems fitting it with the Milford barrier in place. Rack looks good and is quality made. Now to get some plastic "Draws" to fit underneath.

                    Kmart has one that fits pretty well. The ones at our local bunnies are all just a bit high.

                      I had a look at "Howards Storage World" at lunch time. Their boxes with wheels on the bottom and a lid are 460 x 170 x 850. Price $35. Not sure if a lid is good idea or not. Was hoping for something a little deeper as there is 220 of height available. Then again it might be good place to store a table. Will check out Kmart and bunnings before deciding

                            After all the great reports on these racks, I have ordered two (one for me and one for another Prado). In-laws picking up on their way back to the state. John is a great guy to deal with and answers all questions without a problem. Just need to now source some boxes to go under the rack.

                              Well the rack has arrived and has been installed. What a fantastci idea and very practicale. The service that John showed was way beyond what I would have expected. The in-laws were in Melbourne the day of the AFL Grand Final parade and could not work out how to get around all the road closures, as the mother in-law was driving, they rang John and he went to them. Very friendly and nothing was an issue.

                                I'm looking to buy one of these 2nd hand from a seller in Sydney but I am adapting it to use as a cargo shelf near the roof for light stuff like jackets/pillows and maybe socket set for when we travel. I want to adapt it to mount onto the 3rd row grab handles.

                                Then when there are no kids in the 3rd row, I will use it as intended. However, I don't know how well it will fit up there near the grab handles. The seller does not have a Prado anymore.

                                Is there anyone in Adelaide that has one and can lend it to me? I have already PM'ed photoprado but haven't got a reply yet.
