Matt's 2012 TD 150 Series Prado

Safety first mate!

I'm keen to know what you think of the MSA drop slide. Mine rattles like it's not bolted down but it definitely. I am at the point of throwing it out the window, it's extremely annoying. I have heard there is a fix, just need to park somewhere where I have phone reception and call MSA for advice.

Yes. Mine rattles although it is a great slide. When you find the fix post it up.

Though it was already, the latest mods make this my fav 150 and exactly how I'd set one up if I were to ever upgrade.

New spotties - I'm guessing some new ARB Intensity LED's? Will make me even more envious!

Great build-up mate, the 150 is looking very nice.

Gotta say though that you're too hard on your photgraphic skills!! - these are great shots of the rig mate!

really tidy 150, excellent build

Prado looks great but do you really need hiviz knees?

Safety first mate!

I have the same drop down slide on Outback drawers and an ARB 47lt fridge. Have the same problem with rear visibility. In Canberra not too bad but just spent 2 days in Sydney and got quite right abused by a BMW driver I cut off going down New South Head Road near Double Pay. Changed lanes and didn't see him. Felt bad but really glad to get out of the city this arvo.

Looks great - well done!

Damn... I really like your build, I am going to do a similar build.

Yes I will be Jono. You lose a bit of vision with a fridge mounted on drawers plus two wheels in the window which I imagine will be restricting, so yes I still think it's essential. I have ordered the camera relocation kit along with the two carriers, number plate garnish and hi lift jack holder. 2k all up and that was with a reasonable discount.
Using a dual carrier the city could be interesting... Lucky for me I only go maybe once every few years.

Another Photo from the other day testing her out on a few ruts

Are you going to relocate the camera? Curious about this.
I'm mostly in the city, I think it would annoy me having to open both wheel carriers before being able to rear door, but I guess that's the price you have to pay for hanging two tyres off the rear.

[vxcruiser08]

Hi Jono, the bar doesn't come with anything at all. Even the "fitting kit" is a separate item! It's a very expensive exercise. One I hope to not do again anytime soon!

[jonoxplor]

Looks great! Does the bar come with a repositioning kit for the reversing camera?

[vxcruiser08]

Dual wheel carriers are in the paint queue @ ARB sydney and should arrive within two weeks, really pushing it for time as i depart to the simpson on the 17th!

Getting the water watch system installed next week too, after deciding fuel manager won't do the trick.

Got a 5M roll of LED strips, just going to work out the best way to run these over the weekend in the awning and back door.

Have a new set of spotties on the way too...

Couple of pics from the other day before I got her all dirty. Still very happy with the new setup.

[vxcruiser08]

Haven't got any more photos with the new lift yet, but all is going well! I managed to pick up a near new cooper st maxx for $220 which was great and rim for a good price so i'll order the over priced wheel carriers on Monday. Kaymar must be making a killing on these things. Just been struggling to part with the cash.... It really adds up with these rear bars.
