Great work, have you done it so that you can turn the back camera on at any time too?

Did you have to modify the switches to make them fit and if so what did you do?

Thanks Paul, yes to wiring up both at anytime, that is the second switch however reverse will always override.

I did, they are the ones I use to use so knew the trick to make them fit, have to love a Dremel and a scalpel. Basically you know all the tabs off of the switch, take around 4mm off of the top lip on the top and bottom and the cut the side of the OE hole and it slides in nice and tight. They are not going anywhere.

Cheers Dan

Might have to have that tech day that Hutch wants. I will have to seek your guidance on this mod.

Added some LED indicators to my TJM T13 bar tonight, LED Technologies make them to fit the TJM T13 and ate very easy to retrofit.

Big difference in quality of light, pass side new LED light, drivers side old TJM light.

From the photo it looks like it is all white, does it have the indicator in it as well ?

Has coloured LEDs for the indicator, I think it's 4 Parker, 20 indicator.

Ok, I will look into that, it looks like a another good modification.

Well I finally got my new ARB Steel Side Steps and had them colour coded, including the step tread. There is a couple of photos on the ARB Side Steps thread and when I get a chance today to grab some proper non iphone images I will post. The boys and girls at TJM Brendale installed these for me yesterday along with a new RedArc BCDC20 Amp Dual battery System and some front recovery points. I upgraded to the RedArc as I put in a new FullRiver DC105 105Amp AGM Battery a few weeks back.

Very impressed with the work, Darren posted a couple of pics of the handy work today on their Facebook site so I thought I would use his. They hid the Redarc in front of the radiator to keep it cool (they are not a fan of heat) and trimmed the shroud so you can see the indicator lights. Very happy with the work!

The bracket they made...


The hidey hole - very neat!


I will post some images of the new side steps and recovery points soon.

I like those steps, I'll pray to the ARB gods to make some for the 120

I prefer those steps to the TJM because the chequer plate doesn't wrap over the side rail.

Thanks guys, was in 2 minds over colour coding the chequer plate however after seeing it and getting the wife seal of approval - very happy.

Next mod - extended warranty on Tuesday.

MJ mine have been painted as well no longer have any sharp edges!!!


Hutch- 2012 Prado 150, some TJM Kit.

If there are no sharp edges maybe I need to drop the plate off my TJM steps and guillotine the roll over.

Great looking VX Daniel.

PS: Hutch any pics for me? OK I saw the picture in your build but hard to tell, did you linish the edges too?
