Also when drilling marine ply make sure you have a piece of scrap timber underneath or splintering will result.

For those guys who have removed the seats to install the false floor, do you any tips on finishing of the sides or close up pictures of the end result?2010 Prado 150 GXL Diesel, Cooper AT3, ARB compressor, Catch Can, Redarc BCDC 1225, Projecta DBC150, Optima YellowTop and RedTop D34, Pioneer Backbone Platform

Look at my build. I showed a couple of shots. In short I built the wings out of mdf. Not too tricky just take your time.

Hi all
I am considering buying fridge/freezer for touring & camping. I expect I will also buy a fridge slide - maybe even a drop down. I have a box in boot area of my 150. Sort of like drawers but with a lift-up front. I then slide 4 plastic boxes inside with some of my camping gear. I have slide out table LHS above the box section and an insert for my huge esky on RHS. My question: What are the merits of LHS or RHS for a fridge? The fridge will come out if camping for any length of time. Near rear door seems fine so I can use my table as well for food prep. Your advice would be appreciated.Prado GXL 2012 Charcoal - Drifta Drawers, Cargo Barrier, Sidewinder Dual Battery kit, Ironman Bar, Narva lights, Safari Snorkel, Airbags, TX3350 kit, Waeco CFX65DZ - often seen with Thule 2.2M narrow roof pod and towing 2014 Kimberley Kamper. Could be anywhere!

I have only fitted mine with double sided foam tape and they wedge in well. Was handy when I ran the solar feed, just pull the wing off and run the cable and put it back.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

I did think about the double sided tape, but my wings are made out of the same 19mm CD ply, so they are pretty thick/heavy and I'm not sure tape would have held so I went looking for a better solution.
BTW, did you use double sided tape to stick the carpet around the bits near the door trim and if so what sort of tape did you use? I got some body trim tape from supercrap, and it was, well SUPER-CRAP!

I shaped the carpet around the curved bits by putting contact adhesive glue on the back and then letting that go hard and bending the carpet to shape, cutting bit by bit (little wedgies) until the shape was right. Then I added more glue and got the final shape. I put the double sided tape on the trims and the board but not sure how much it is doing on the trims. I can pull gently and remove the wings but they don't move when installed. The tape I used is the same stuff I use on RC gear to hold in the naughty bits. About 1mm of foam with tape both sides.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

I had my fridge on the left side in the 120 and it is on the right in the 150. I prefer it on the right because I can more easily read the information on the fridge panel. No real issue either way. I do find that if the fridge is on the left the rear door needs to be wide open to access the fridge whereas on the right you only need to get through the opening to get into the fridge.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic
