Thats where my cb has been for 4 years its a great spot out of the way, i did cut my brake controler into the fuse box cover

I ran my brake controller power directly to the battery, as it has a power off after about 5mins when not connected. Wont drain the battery, and wanted to keep the fuse box clear for an outside air temp gauge anyhow.

Bar looks great in black !!!
Are you going to fit a lightbar to the top of the bar? Looks like you have lots of mounting points already installed to the bar.
Not sure about yourself, but i found the headlight glass was a little frosted like, maybe with age and even the highbeam was pretty lowsy. Much improvement with a LED lightbar though.

Ive the 130w ipf lights to fit, the headlights look like they need a good clean, the wings will most likely get the first extra lights

Yeah no problems mate. I will have to go back and find the exact globes i used but it was a combo of T5,T10 and T4 leds from memory..buy a whole bunch of them in whichever colours you like should be under $25 with lots left over. It's easy plug and play mostly though i did small minor stuff like getting the 5sm T10's and putting it in a T5 socket etc You want to get a few 5sm (5 surface mount i.e 5 globes per) and wide angle globes so you get a nice even light spread and not that ugly 'hotspot' look where its really bright directly in front of the globe and dim to the sides like this ( taken off google images)



here's a pic of the my cluster you can see it's easy to get it oem looking with a bit of patience and teh right globes



i got them from this seller

Bar looks good, certainly a different look now compared to the old OEM bar

Giving the old IPF lights a birthday before I fit them to the new bar

Haven't posted any updates since I picked up my truck in British Columbia, I've owned it for about 10 months now, and put just over 10,000 kms on it. In the meantime I've done the following:

-Swapped the headlights for brand new units with a LHD beam pattern
-Fitted a Pioneer Android Auto Head Unit
-Picked up some Escape Gear Canvas seat covers as a "souvenir" while on vacation in Southern Africa
-Bought Yakima roof bars, primarily for carrying a canoe
-Fitted a hitch receiver
-Bought a swing away Thule bike rack
-Most importantly, am finishing up construction of an over sized, insulated double garage with in-floor heat, so I'll be able to tackle more serious projects on the truck in Winter!

Otherwise it's still stock, just accessorized! The photo below is from this past weekend (Canada Day), my wife and I were camping in a provincial park about two hours outside Winnipeg. The truck is dusty from roughly 160 kms of gravel road, and loaded down with gear, but that's when it looks best!



Also, I've done a bit of searching, but have been unable to find anything that works. Does anybody know how to calibrate the compass on the field monitor? Mine has me driving North constantly!

Thanks, and I've enjoyed reading about everyone else's rig.

After the missus complained (rightly so i have to admit) of my work gear rolling around in the back of the Prado, she requested a better solution.
After seeing the inflated prices of a custom set of drawers to fit, i decided to make up a set to keep the back of the Prado looking much more presentable.
Used 25.4mm aluminium square c/w quiklok connectors for the frame, and 17mm film board for the top and drawers.
With hd hinges around 1000mm long at around $100 a pair, i decided to make 75mm plywood timber slides as a much cheaper option. More effort to pull/push, but for the cost saving can't complain about that.
Had to put in a hinged compartment on the passenger side to gain access to the jack when required, also stores the towbar neck/ball.
All mistakes covered up with some black carpet
