Nice job $tu, is the compressor permenantly mounted where it is in the first pic? I like the power outlet etc on the left.

thanx mate. yeah the compressor is permanately mounted, an the flexi line reaches all the way round the car to all tyres. there is a 1000 watt inverter in the back next to the compessor aswell. no pics of that though.

Nice pictures, Looks very professional. Out of curiosity what mounting points did you use for the drawers?

[PradOz Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close PradOz]

any chance of some measurements and how did you fix them in place?

looks like a top job - well done!

Hi $TU
Very nice job on the draw system Mate.
I also like the fact that you have added cooling fans to the compressor compartment.
Top marks goes to the addition of power outlets and an air coupling in the side panel.
How did you perfect the scribing of the top where it meets the side moulding of the Prado?
Cheers Troy

STU - great draws. I particularly like the compressor in the back. I think I might follow this trend. Couple of questions: 1) How does the hose from the compressor to the outlet connect properly to the ply panel? Have you just slotted it through a hole, or does it screw in some how? Also, would appreciate some info on where you got it. 2) The computer fans - I didn't know they were 12V. Learn something new every day. Have you got these on a single circuit, or do they run in the same circuit as the compressor? Reason i ask is it might pay to have them run for half hour after the compressor is off, as the unit can get damn hot after pumping four tyres. 3) last question - is the red button the switch for the compressor?

Top work mate -
Ian.
