Amts..Nice work..loving the pics on the FB page. I was going to email you to ask if you get order me one whilst you got yours but I'll just go through her now??
This is going on order asap! Thank you Scud and Amts for facilitating this 'new' product for the best Prado on the market.

My intention of ordering just the one for myself first was to test it out as the design is not as straight forward as the 150. I have since provided feedback for a few tweaks to make it sit better in the cavity.

Note that the organiser is deeper than the cavity and may not be compatible if you have a trek table. I wanted to utilise the full height which means needing the organiser to be a certain depth in order to get your hand in.

Also, you will need to add a piece of foam in the organiser where the strap is to give a firm hold on the organiser. Otherwise it won't work.

More pictures shortly when I get on a PC.

I put these in the compartment:



Along with a pair of gloves, a torch and could probably fit in a rain jacket. I have stored boxes of Shapes in there as well ;-)

Cheers Brad

I managed to fit my 12m 16mm2 Anderson extension lead in the compartment.

What do you use the cable for Coombes?

So far I've used it to charge my car off a mates car when we've been at the farm. At night we run lights off the generator. He plugs his car into the generator much like caravans do in parks. He has a battery charger installed to charge his main and aux battery. He also has an Anderson plug hooked up to his aux battery. I plug my extension lead from his anderson into mine and my car charges off his. Puts out enough voltage to turn the Ctek on and charge everything properly.

We do this so the LED camp lights on our cars and fridges don't flatten the aux battery.

Hope that wasn't too confusing.

has anyone looked behind the compartment to see if you can make it deeper????

[ttmx83 Member Find all posts View Profile Close ttmx83]

Yes, but not by a lot. The door metal follows the compartment in the trim very closely.

I just got one of those organisers that a lot of you have got from Sarah's Canvas.
I also got her to make these for me:
Dunny roll holder so I can hang it and keeps it dry
Tool roll for all the useless tools Toyota gives you (diesel fitter speaking here)
The plan is to repurpose the tool compartment for first aid or a small solar panel.

So Toyota never put anything there at the first place ...... like BMW, AUDI where you get a reflective triangle warning thing?

Thanks

To me it looks like it's meant to have something in there that we here in Oz don't get, something like the safety triangles found in a lot of European cars. It's an odd shape for anything else that I can think of.

I keep a rolled up poly tarp in there and some rope but I have seen a small fire extinguisher stored in there too.

I thought that too, I mean what was the point otherwise ? in fact I thought there was something in there that they removed !!!
