Re: Stephen61 2006 GXL

Thanks Stephen, the rack certainly looks a solid & handy unit. Re dust entry: can't say it's been an issue for me, perhaps others with very extensive unsealed road travelling experience could comment but I understand Prados have some of the best dust sealing characteristics around. Can you pin point where it's getting in? Do you have a faulty door seal or is there a chance the vehicle has suffered previous accident damage & thus a door or something is mis-aligned?

Re dust if you have a towbar fitted check where the trailer wiring comes into the body behind the passenger taillight assembly. Some fitters very slack in refitting the gromments in the floor and without them you have a 2" hole for the dust to get in.
Nice mods you have carried out as well, like the second row fridge mount but can't see me getting approval to do the same unfortunately :cry:

Stephen, regarding the dust. Very Very dusty up here and between cairns and weipa is shocking... :shock:

With teh bub in teh back seat we put mesh over the doors to stop the sun light, this allowed the fine dust in and you breathe and cough regularly. We removed those pretty quick and noticed on the back door the fine dust that sits in the seal. Sometimes it can come in through there but generally the prado is great at keeping the dust out, we've done a few trips up ad back and will do another one tomorrow and the prado has done really well.

Cheers,
