Hi Dan,

That table you made looks really good, I wouldn't of picked it for home made. If you don't mind me asking where did you find the corner mouldings?

Cheers

Scott

Hi Scott, thanks, glad you like it! It's black laminated MDF and on the corners I just used foam tape and pads with adhesive backing, just cut to shape.
That stops vibration noise and also stops the table scuffing up the door.

For what its worth, i love my arb fridge. Got some clever design features, and can't fault the quality.

I'm with Smithy, I love my ARB fridge. Just need to stop being slack and do the wiring in the Prado.
I have been using it as a beer fridge in the house since I sold my Disco.

x2 on the ARB Fridge (60l) Have a look Here at Matts (LiveFreeAndRoam) fitout with the DRIFTA system for the 150 with MSA Drop slide and 60l fridge (3rd pic down in post) And also mine which has the integrated Fridge slide Here. Cheaper, lighter and uses less real estate than the MSA Slide and you can use the area better when the fridge is not in situ.

Thanks for the feedback on the fridges, wonder if there will be any deals on at the camping show at he end of this month

OK, so my Prado went on to ARB today and got some more goodies fitted.

Got the ARB Deluxe Alloy roofrack....





And also got a dual battery setup with 2 12v sockets in the rear....

I got the guys to wire up my LED striplight in the back door....





Switch here....




They have also installed wiring and a switch for worklights at the rear (on order/ebay).
There is a mouse switch on the steering column and the wiring is currently tucked in behind the 240v panel.
The ARB roofrack will need to come off the vehicle to allow SWMBO to go into shopping centres etc, so the worklight wiring will have plugs for when in use.

Last thing fitted up today was a diff breather kit, all set to go snorkeling now :/

Next on the list is hopefully Drawers.

Have pretty much decided to go with Drifta, same fitout as Craig.
Not sure if these will be fitted up sooner or later but certainly next big thing on the list at this stage.

Then hopefully ARB 60L fridge as funds allow (might head to the 4WD camping show on the Gold Coast this Sunday and see if there is a special on them).

Also seriously considering a winch but plenty to do first

Hey Dan, be careful when you talk to the drifta guys about your drawers to ask whether they will fit on top of the third row seats or if you'll have to remove them. Most drawers for the 150 expect you to take the seats out. In Craigs 120, it's a simple catch system but in th 150 it's a bit more difficult (there's a few people who do it regularly though so definitely not impossible). I wanted to keep the rear seats in so built my drawers to sit on top of the seats so I could easily chuck them in and out for weekend trips. Not as simple an option though if you have the drawers designed for the seats to be out. On the other hand, if you're not planning to use the 7 seats, it's not so much of an issue. Just something to consider.

Hey mate, yeah I am not too fussed about having to remove the rear seats, just gotta find out how to do it! Lol!

That's one of the perks of my job.. 7/8 seaters available anytime I need one.... Provided I stick to the black stuff

The worklights I ordered on eBay arrived the other day so I fitted them up today on my RDO.




The top switch on the steering column is to turn them on/off.




Also spoke to Beechy at Drifta today and ordered my Drawer setup.
Will be heading down to Gloucester 25/26/27 August to have them fitted up and have a scout around the area while down there.
