Re: Factory supplied tool kit (in rear door)

I found the other door compartment was useful for a set of jumper leads.

Does anyone know what type of warning triangle fits in the area next to the tool kit? There is also an L shaped area above the warning triangle area, what goes in that slot?

Reflective Triangle

I posted the details before about this.

Supercheap Autos

FASTY tie-down straps fit in all of the other spots (L-shaped area). I have an eflare underneath the triangle case

i heard that from 2010 Toyota wont be supplying any tools with their four wheel drives that can be used on Toyotas. Apparantly their researcch shows that it would me of much greater value to have a set of tools on board that would suit a Nissan Pootrol!!!!

I had a blank space where the pliers were in my tool kit, I had a Nissan pair of pliers that fit just right.

The missing spanner fromthe 150 Prado toolkit is: Toyota Spare Part number 99914-10810 (8mm & 10mm open end spanner), Cost = $4:00 and fits perfectly in the 150 Prado toolkit. I also carry extensive spares and tools when travelling, but I don't leave that kit in the car all the time, so its handy to have a few tools. (Why don't they just supply the darn spanner from new?)

When i sold my 120, it had the same tools missing that my 150 had. 150 seems to have a full kit now

I can see the vacant slots for what seems to be missing tools?

If my photographic memory serves me well I would say one is for the Nissan snatch strap and the other is for the Toyota Cheesy Grin that you put into your mouth like a dummy when asked by a Nissan owner for a snatch!

I have a VX prado and also have indents with no tools, probably used for other countries.

Recently purchased a new Prado, looks great and a bit bigger than I originally thought, but nice!
Checked the tool holding area on the rear door and have noticed some of the tool indents don't have tools etc in them. Is this normal on the GXL,
thought the upmarket Prados may have these and didn't wish to hassle the dealer first.
Thanks, Richie.

I have a VX prado and the tool kit has also got indents with no tools from new. Maybe used for different countries.

I have been told that the missing tools are for country's that do not have the spare wheel mounted on the back door.

I picked up my new Altitude last Wednesday and couldnt believe there would be a half empty toolkit in there. As for the spare wheel cover 12mm bolt, a nice lil ratchet ring does the job nicely

The tools aren't that expensive. I had to buy a wheel wrench, screwdriver and both spanners from a main dealer, it only came to $51!

Certainly one of the missing tools will be the spark plug spanner for the petrol versions. Diesels don't get them.

I had to change my GLX tyre the other day for the first time and found out what all the stuff in the tool set was for - needed every part to do the job. My feeling is that the blanks are for the parts needed to change the tyre in the overseas models with the spare slung under back - very similar bits to my old Kluger. BTW the other compartment (the bit with the straps) exactly fits the safety triangle which I brought back from a stint in Germany - where they are compulsory.

Hi All,

I am new prado 150 user. Have few questions on the picture attached:

1. What tool shall be in position A? I just guess it is for some converter for supplied box wrench. But have no idea what size to what?
2. What brand of flash light will fit in B position?
3. What tools i can put in C?
