Here are some pics of the rear fold down table I made and fitted to a GLX 150.
I got a lot of ideas for this from the 120 Mods section.
I used MDF for the table and covered it with marine carpet using contact adhesive. I used plastic cabin hinges to mount the table to the door. I used bungee cord loops attached to the table and bungee cord knobs attached to the door to hold the table up (closed) when not in use. I added some bungee cord to the underside to hold tea and hand towels. Initially I used cotton webbing strap to hold the table at the correct height, but this frayed in a short period of time, so I went with nylon webbing and it's been fine. Since these photos, I have used a Selcor bungee cable joiner to join the bungee rather than the big ugly knot. I've also added a shelf I made to sit the fridge on and store recovery gear. I'll post picks of that when I get the 150 back from Toyota service..see this thread for more info... http://www.pradopoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=11596
I have used the table to prepare and cook meals (it's just a tad too high to eat from when sitting), to butcher game meat in the field and to change the baby's nappy. It's a great addition and easy to make.
Overall I estimate this mod cost me about $80. I already had the MDF; the carpet was $40, and the fittings, adhesive etc around $40. I used stainless steel screws all round.
Yes, you have to drill 6 holes in your rear door, but it's well worth it if you have kids or get out and about in your 150. And when it comes time to sell your 150, this mod is so cheap you can afford to leave it in place, so there's no holes to worry about.
