You can store them on their side ok but regardless of which way they are stored be sure to give them a good shake up before you use them as the powder will pack down. If you don't you will get a lot of gas and no powder. Even better idea is to "take them out and shake it all about" on a regular basis. I have just removed the one I had in the 120 after about a year since last time and I think it is stuffed. No amount of shaking could loosen the powder last night.

For my Dual Battery setup I used one of Derek (ABR SIDEWINDER) dual battery monitor. As I have the Redarc SBi12 I had to modify and rewire the monitor as per Derek's instructions. The re wiring allows the link button to manually activate the solenoid so that you can start off the 2nd battery if required.
Then installed the battery monitor is a suitable position.
So with the replacement head unit and dual battery monitor it looks like this.

Paul two really dumb questions coming up. What's the green icon above the hazard switch and does the bottom radio now do nothing? If the hole is single DIN is this a place to mount a UHF radio? Yes I haven't been through ALL the 150 series posts yet ok.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automaticComment

Green car is reverse sensor indicator, shows little red? lines as you get closer to object. (not sure why it's green, unless the car is in reverse while parked?)Comment

My reverse sensor indicator is on the drivers side, they must have changed them

[QUOTE=Bear63;392006]My reverse sensor indicator is on the drivers side, they must have changed them
Bear I think you'll find it's an aftermarket surround to suit the larger screen. The aftermarket surrounds are imported so they are designed to suit a left hand drive.
Brains great build, must order a set of the Wet seat covers, they look so neat. And as for the screen so much bigger than the factory one, love the idea of the front camera, would be very handy on a few tracks.
Cheers

Thanks Derek, I'd love to take the credit but I'm the sort of person that likes credit to go to the right person and that person in this case is Richosen. He's the one that put me onto it and even organised the light for me!Originally posted by derek11 View PostThat rear door touch light is excellent, thanks for posting Brains, another add-on for me to do.

The only thing different I have done to mine is bend it to match the profile of the door trim.[SIZE=2]Black 2009 150 Series D4D GXL Prado, [B]TG150[/B] Transfer Case & Actuator Guard, TJM T13 bar, TJM 9.5lb Winch, Airtec Snorkel, TJM steel sidesteps and sidebars, TJM Underbody Protection, TJM XGS Gold Suspension, Tinted, ARB Fridge Freezer, Couplertec System, Foxwing Awning, 80AH Dual battery, 8" indash GPS, Wet Seat seatcovers, GME TX3540, TX3110 & TX680, [B][COLOR=#ff6633]Maxtrax[/COLOR][/B], Kaymar Dual Wheel Carrier, Breathers, Federal MT's.[/SIZE]Comment

All good, if you want to come over and have a closer look at anything just give us a yell.Originally posted by mjrandom View Post
Like it was mentioned the hazard and reverse sensor indication lamps are normally positioned on the right side but on the replacement head unit the hole is on the left, I'm trying to source a LHD switch at the moment like some others have.
The replacement unit is a two unit system with the lower unit a DVD player plus the select buttons for the different function. The upper unit is the screen.
There's a fair bit of info under the replacement head unit thread with instructions for install.[SIZE=2]Black 2009 150 Series D4D GXL Prado, [B]TG150[/B] Transfer Case & Actuator Guard, TJM T13 bar, TJM 9.5lb Winch, Airtec Snorkel, TJM steel sidesteps and sidebars, TJM Underbody Protection, TJM XGS Gold Suspension, Tinted, ARB Fridge Freezer, Couplertec System, Foxwing Awning, 80AH Dual battery, 8" indash GPS, Wet Seat seatcovers, GME TX3540, TX3110 & TX680, [B][COLOR=#ff6633]Maxtrax[/COLOR][/B], Kaymar Dual Wheel Carrier, Breathers, Federal MT's.[/SIZE]Comment

Okay still on the Dual Battery Install under the bonnet I used manual circuit breakers for the runs to the rear internal distribution (40A breaker) and rear external Anderson plug (60A breaker). This way I am able to push the button on the breaker and cut the feed to the external Anderson when I'm not using it. I can also cut the feed to the rear distribution if required. Most times I only have the rear external Anderson plug disabled.
Two Breakers switched on
60A Breaker switched off

Back washed 3" of water out of the pool yesterday and its overflowing again!!! yep, I'm over it too....
Thanks, I'll have a look at ABR first and see if Derek's got em, if not EBay. Is the cable secured by 1 or 2 screws on the breakers?
Edit: Derek has them. and I can now see how the cable is fastened with the single grub screw (have to remember to ask for the PP discount!)

When our pool overflows it goes into a channel and out through the drainage pipe where the backwash goes. That way I don't have to backwash until the rain is over and I just need to get the levels right.Originally posted by craigm View Post
And yes one grub screw tightened by an allen key. What discount does he offer for PP. I have mentioned that before when I have ordered a fair bit of stuff for work and got no discount.[SIZE=2]Black 2009 150 Series D4D GXL Prado, [B]TG150[/B] Transfer Case & Actuator Guard, TJM T13 bar, TJM 9.5lb Winch, Airtec Snorkel, TJM steel sidesteps and sidebars, TJM Underbody Protection, TJM XGS Gold Suspension, Tinted, ARB Fridge Freezer, Couplertec System, Foxwing Awning, 80AH Dual battery, 8" indash GPS, Wet Seat seatcovers, GME TX3540, TX3110 & TX680, [B][COLOR=#ff6633]Maxtrax[/COLOR][/B], Kaymar Dual Wheel Carrier, Breathers, Federal MT's.[/SIZE]Comment
