Over the last 2 days I have set about tidying up a couple of electrical items. First was the driving light harness - I never liked the way the Toyota Dealer left the cables, so I bought some split conduit and tidied up the whole lot. Annoyingly, every cable had been shortened to just the right length, meaning I couldnt reposition things the way I had originally wanted to. I also re routed the UHF Antenna cable through the engine bay.
In the cabin, I fixed up the UHF mic. connector in the centre console, it had started to sit at a funny angle. I pulled out the console pieces/trim and re-did the cable for this to make it sit more flush.
I have also installed some LED strip lighting into my Awning - Photos will come when next I camp.Spilsy

I have the unit turned up to full noise and can hear it clearly even with the radio on (not loud).
Ideally I'd have a remote speaker, but its not really been an issue.

Lucky me though, as my lease will eventually pay for this, I will only pay about $800 (after the lack of GST and my income tax savings)Spilsy

This is what I sent to my lease company:
It has become clear that the suspension on my Prado has started to sag and is struggling to keep up on rough/dirt roads making the ride uncomfortable, and potentially dangerous.
I havent got a quote from toyota for a genuine replacement, but I suspect it would be about the same as the OME gear.Spilsy
