Hey guys

Picked up my 2014 GX 150 just before xmas, had it a few weeks standard before started adding to it (did 4700km through western NSW over xmas/nye).

So far:
- BFGoodrich All/Terrains 275/65/17's
- ARB OME 50mm lift
- Safaria snorkel
- Dual battery setup with outlets in the back (self install) (i'll attach more pics of that)
- home made storage shelf

Given its got the new front end I'm still waiting for ARB to release their bullbars ... was thinking the safaria bar.

Installed a ABR Sidewinder Dual Battery System, including supplied harness, and OffRoadDownUnder Prado150 battery tray.

Only change was taking the + cable across the top of the radiator as I didn't like to idea of running above the engine. I've checked often at first to make sure it wasn't getting to hot and seems fine. At some stage I'll tidy it up further by reducing some of the cable length. It's also got a 40amp fuse and switch with is easy way to disconnect all the power in the back. The isolator sits just next to/hidden by the main battery.

Nice car muzungu and one of the first new model here on the forum.
I'm curious what it gives with the saharabar from ARB and the new headlights.(still waiting for ARB to release their bullbars).

Cheers

Welcome. Im also interested to see the new look front end. I'm also intrigued by your screen name, have you got an African connection by any chance?

Hi,

ARB have a deal on for February, if you buy a bar and a warn winch you get a set of free IPF extreme lights. I'm going to order mine tomorrow for my 14 spec.

Nice job Muzungu! Did you just get the ABR kit for the engine bay connections or did you get the rear connection loom as well? Were the installation instructions easy to follow?

I got the loom to the rear, I've picked up the bits myself for the rest. ABR kit just made it simple and easy compared to other times i've done it. Still adding simple elec mods
