Modifying 150 Prado GXL manual for touring

[PeterD Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close PeterD]

Hi
I am new to this forum having only picked up our new Prado last week. I want to pull the second row seats out (have already pulled the third row seats out) I also want to run a wire from my second battery (already installed) to the Engel that will be accessed through the passenger side rear door. A couple of questions that members may have answers for are:- How do you remove the plastic sill under the driver's door? Has anyone taken out the fuel card/credit card holder in the glove box? (would like to put the brake controller there) and has anyone taken the second row seats out? If so how.
I don't know how to drive this forum yet, hope this post finds its way into the system. Thanks to anyone who can help.
Cheers PeterD

Hi
How do you remove the plastic sill under the driver's door?

Hi Peter,

Check out my build up thread, the link is in my signature below. You will see under the section where I installed my UHF I removed the trims I think you are talking about. Not much to it, just a firm pull and they should come out, they have those plastic lugs on the back. If you break any getting the trim off, Supercheap has spares

Cheers
Dave

Thanks davidsford. had a look at the photo of the sill removed and will have a bit more confidence to give it a reef now without fear of busting something expensive.
