I don't think they effect the resale value of the vehicle;but they they change the equation of a sale. When selling you will find some folk won't buy it because of the drawers,and less seats wheras others will think great the car has drawers. What you will find is that you won't necessarily get anymore for the car. I think your main reason for doing anything to a 4by is ,is it going to improve your enjoyment of the vehicle as improvements cost money and you will never get the full amount back on the resell, and potential change the buying market.New 2015 150s GX 5 seater with floor mats, towbar and a big wish list
Previously a 2004 120s 1KZ GX silver manual with stuff
before that a 1996 RV6 90S with lots of gear -
With a good setup you will be able to take them out and put the seats back in. It takes me about 45 minutes to do the changeover on mine.

Same with me. If you use existing anchor points and don't cut into any plastic you should be able to remove everything without leaving any trace.

After many years of worrying about how what I do to a vehicle will affect resale now I don't worry. Set it up to suit yourself and what you want to do with it. Why compromise how you set it up and not make it fully functional for your needs just in case it might affect the resale value. For years I have spent a fortune on Synthetic Oils as its the best but the only one who really benefits is the person who you sell it to unless of course you keep it forever which I never seem to do.2012 GXL White Prado.

I like the Drifta set. More volume per drawer then other systems.

I have the Black Widow drawers in my 120, whilst they are a good bit of kit I doubt I would go for them again. Aluminium drawers for less weight would be good and the handles on my Black Widows suck big time.

AJ, I'm very happy with my Black Widow drawers but agree that aluminium would be better weight wise but how much and will they handle the trteatment, my handle is fine (my setup has only one drawer it was a custom build by Black Widow for me).Originally posted by AJ120 View Post

I went with Graham at ORS,very helpful and obliging to customise what you want. I went alloys with a 3 point lock cupbord at the front of the drawers to carry a reg'd firearm. It fits to the slope of the 2nd row seatbacks, (otherwise wasted space)! Well hidden!Originally posted by Vk3bq View PostComment

Do you have the old or the new black widow handles.
The older ones were smaller and hard to get a hold of, the new version handles are much better and obviously designed to fix that issue.
