Reidy's 150 build

[Ian Reid Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close Ian Reid]

Well it was not supposed to happen, the 95 is meant to be my bush machine and the 150 was the tourer. It just needed a couple of little things. Then a few more until now it seems time to start another build thread.
It all started with a Prado Point sticker

Then a dual battery unit to feed power to the camper trailer


Fitted a 100A circuit breaker on the output of the dual battery controller

A little while later diff breathers went in

Then out came the third row seats

Not sure what happened there. Photo is right way up but displays upside down...
IN went false floor. That gained me almost 4 inches more clearance

And in went a Waeco fridge slider

interested to see how you mounted the lights under the awning and where you get the power from at the GTG

secondary fuel filter fitted, kept the factory as primary filter so the sensors there will give me early warning

Stuck them to the bottom of the aluminium channel. Drilled several holes for cable ties to secure it. Can open the awning cover and use the lights without extending the awning. Cable runs down rear door seal and enters grommet in the floor near jack compartment
