Hi all,
I've been following the good work done by you guys for a while now, but never got around to adding some of my own.
I started with a 2009 GXL manual diesel. With the release of the 150 series just around the corner, I got the last one in WA with metalic paint. It was delivered with the factory bull bar, towbar, headlight & bonnet protectors, rubber mats & Airtec snorkel.
Soon after I added the UHF. Pics of install below. The pointless factory top rails have been removed & replaced with Toyota's 3 bar commercial set to accomodate the board.
Have built a rear draw incorporating a 120aH AGM battery, RANOX charger & extra power outlets. The main criteria to work around here was that 1 of the 3rd row seats still had to be able to be put in when required & the fridge also had to be able to fit in with the extra seat in place. This basically set the dimensions of it. Some pics of the final fit up below. The finished product is a bit further on. Also got heaps of the building for those intrested, but not yet uploaded.

On board air has been added under the bonnet. With the aux battery in the rear, I put the compressor in the space upfront. An extra air outlet was also run to the rear of the vehicle for the trailer. I tend to use this one the most now. It's easier than popping the bonnet & dragging a hose across the engine
Front & rear diff breathers have been extended, as has the transfer case. I found the gearbox breather, but cant work out how this can be removed without dropping the box, so unless someone can shed light here, it remains factory. Have left room in the manifold if it happens.
Like everyone still heaps to do, just not enough hours or $
