If that means will I be less concerned re a little damage, then no, I have always liked calculated risks as you will see from the myriad of "battle scars"

Ouch! That's a bugger MLC! My Prado is a tight fit in the garage too, however I have lined the brick walls with carpet :-)

That makes me feel better about the damage i did reversing into the letterbox

But maybe this will help those of us with dimensional issues

It is clearly going, just need to move the gas meter first which is waiting for the house renovations which I am happy to say HAVE BEEN APPROVED!!!!!

That means I am moving in with you for 9-12 months

JOY! uhm, can you park your rig on the lawn mate, mine is a Grande (bashed up) after all.

Busy Saturday with Matt finalising the dual battery monitor:


and adding some power from the dual battery to the rear:
All this:


To give this:

While the rear drawers etc are not yet in the clearance is perfect and I now have:
1 x dedicated Engel plug
1 x Merit/Hella plug for my camper gear normally used in the camper
3 x normal cigarette plugs
1 x Anderson plug.
Room for further needs as required.
The power is supplied from the dual battery through 6 B&S to a 100 Amp fuse block.
It is easy to see Matt has played a major part. The quality and attention to detail with the elecrical is second to none. Thanks mate.

Mate, got up this morning, replaced the screws and added washers then spent 10 minutes with coffee in hand admiring the job that turned out exactly as I wanted it.

Could not be happier and will test it out this weekend coming on the fishing trip.

how easy is it to get 6B&S through to the back? Would 4B&S or 3B&S be routed easily? (most likely 3B&S as easier to get lugs for)

Looks really good, MLC.

No issues with the 6B&S up the passenger side of the prado under the door trims. Reakon the 3B&S would go in alright as well, just be less room left over afterwards... But i don't foresee it being an issue, but then I've not tried it either!

Wooley, The protective conduit is the correct size for 3 B&S. i.e. 13mm.

Here are some pics showing the setting out around the seat belt etc.

Coming over the wheel arch up to and behind the seat belt


Then behind the seat belt and out the hole


From the hole, ready to go through the hole to be cut in the trim and to the fuse box
