Just got my ARB Modular Drawer System fitted. Been waiting 12 months for the design and acceptance of the wing kit for the Prado 150!!

Got a fixed drawer and sliding top drawer for fridge. Made for ARB by Outback, so quality looks good and fitting is very neat and tidy. Modular system apparently allows owner to move drawers to new vehicle..and just purchase new wing kit. Did a dual battery install while it was there so i could completely max out the c/card!

I have the same drawer system in my 150. In the photos, you will see a hole in the right wing near the 220 volt power outlet.

What I did with mine is to feed a 3 metre power cord into the hole, attach a plug, and plug it into the power socket. I applied some very sticky duct tape around the plug to stop it falling out of the socket, which it will do on rough roads. When not being used, the 3 metres of cord is push back into the hole and it sits inside, with only the outlet plug being visible. While travelling along, the power cord is pulled out and fed into the front of the vehicle so that a laptop, or other device, can be used by the missus while I am driving along.

Great idea Yowie... i have the dual battery outlets on the top of the passenger side wheelwell there too... so i can access forward as well..but will do the power cord mod for the 220V..... much easier. Thanks!!

The ARB stuff is never going to work with the back seats in anyway...

Thanks Wooley - false floor and slide it is.

I still have my false floor from the 120 gathering dust in my shed.... steel frame with ply floor... easy enough to add a slide if it suits...

Will do Chester... My 50 litre fits with JUST enough room to put a 20 litre water container on its side up against the cargo barrier. the 80 lite might be test . altho there is extra space either side of the slide...if the fridge is mounted on something a little higher than the sliding floor.... but probably not idea. Anyway...let me measure for you soon as i can..
Cheers

Thanks Maso yeah that is what i was thinkig if the width is out is to put the fridge up on 2 small blocks of wood so it doe not foul on the opposite drawer

Oh are tie down points already there or do you drill them in yourself??

As i recall... the tiedown loops and straps are part of a FRIDGE TIEDOWN PACK from Just Straps.. also from ARB... but only about $25, easy enough to fit where you want them.

Hey Wooley... will get some shots... but basically as the rear seats move forward/back... you can make as much room as you dare..with seats back full and backrests tilted rearwards a bit... you are about 20mm from the drawers...but i am fitting a cargo barrier.. so will probably have to move seats forward a bit anyways.. however.. will take some shots and see how they come out.
cheers

Masso,
Any chance you could post those pics of behind the rear seats (showing the front/top of the drawers relative to the side trim as a reference point)? I'm wanting to fit a set myself & am trying to determine if I can fit a water tank between the drawers and rear seats. Alternatively, how long (front to back) is the false floor on the top of the drawers?

I'm curious as to the neat fit around the lower back of the left & right side trim panels where the tailgate closes. As the original trim across the bottom of the cargo area (just above the door seal) is removed, I notice that on drawers of other manufacturers one can see the non finished surfaces of the side trims where they used the mate with the bottom trim, though on your ARB drawers it is all perfectly tidy. Do you know if they had to modify the side trims such that the vehicle can't returned to original condition? Do you also know if the system picked up existing mounting holes or if some holes were drilled?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

David.

Hi masso, are you able to tell
me if a rear door table will fit between the drawers and rear door? Or what the gap of between the chunky ARB handles and rear door when closed. Cheers, Anthony
