In this week's episode, we turn our attention to the 12 Volt setup in the Prado. While mostly hidden away, getting your electrical setup right is important. The Prado doesn't need a huge solar setup, but we do want our system to work seamlessly and reliably. We also want to be able to troubleshoot challenges and adjust our setup as the car evolves. Plus, a few little luxuries along the way don'...

10 Second Fix for a Rattling Prado 150 Back Door
What a build. Well done Kaon team. Now could you do a 200 series build 😅 Also who did the vinyl wrap? Is that in house only?
Good work Tin... I'd be keen for the side steps water for a 200 Sahara... can never have too much water! Be interesting to see how the side windows hold up on severe corrugated roads over distance and whether the opposing vibrational forces on the windows is dampened enough with these suction mounts
That rear underbody water tank would that work with the ZR 150 with long range fueltank?
Would be great to see you guys and the Prado in Perth, help the wifey to visualise the benefits of some of the Kaon products too 😊
Just discovered Kaon. Genuinely impressed by the quality and thoughtful design that goes into these products. Inspiring story of how the business began also. Keep creating cool and innovative products 👍
When I get those side step tanks, I'd not have the outlets anywhere below the wheel arches. Since they have pumps, I'd plb the outlets straight to the boot area
Put ARB umder protection polymer sheets❤
Would it be the same setup for fj cruiser
Anyone know if this fits on a 1995 KZJ78?
Some really neat ones on there. Definitely keen on the rear door storage, steps and exterior window panels
Plz bring it over to Perth would love to see it at the show
I have loved following this project. Awesome Vids. I have a TJM Bar and have the same problem with the spottie brackets. Would love to get hold of some of those spacers. The Radiator Guard is a great idea too.
Wow what a build!!! Were just starting on our praod 120 tourer build, actually will be down to seeing you guys in your shop firat thing tomorrow morning. Cant wait to check out all of the products and see the now infamous kaon prado rig ❤
Can’t afford Kaon for my Prado but I can dream and enjoy your videos
I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, your focus on engineering and design is to be commended. Now onto a 300 series? 😊 Also keen for you to make the trip to Perth!
A lot of thought and design has gone into this Prado project , you've done really well. You should look into getting a troopy and designing stuff for that , a lot more area and space and little nooks. You'd get a lot of troopy support.
Awesome products mate, i hipe to call into your shop in a few weeks time after we do the Cape I searched through your videos looking for something like this. What an awesome back story, i could see the emotions when you were talking about your old man and the Greeks, it's like thats where it started for your family in Australia
do you have a usa distributor? trying to ship one unit is not very cost effective. this is a great solution that does not exist here in the states.
I want all your concept products but for a 120 prado and I really want to see you guys come to the Perth show
We're definitely working on it!
Looks fantastic.
Thank you :)
What a genuinely great build. I am sold, your approach and persona to engineer the Kaon Prado has me sold. Slowley and surely, my 150 is going to be Kaonised!
Looks awesome
Thank you!
The window molle panels are a fantastic idea...hopefully you make one for a 78 series
Perth please
Another vote counted ;)
Now I'm feeling sad about selling my GX150. Your car looks brilliant 👍.
Aw no, well glad we've been able to inspire you nonetheless! Thank you :)
YOU DOING Phenomenal job on the build guys! , it looks awesome!! Many thanks for all the team and for that Prado also .. without him we wouldn't have most of our Prado 150 products from KAON.😀 Much love from Saudi Arabia🤍
Thank you, always awesome to hear comments from people following from the other side of the world!
Awesome build mate. I have a few Kaon accessories on my 150 and build absolutely love the quality and the thought that has gone into assembly, not to mention your instructions are second to none. Better than ARB's and I like their products also. Will you be coming to the Adelaide 4x4 show?
That’s an awesome rig, personally I chose this model as well because of the no dpf etc. you could remove the 3rd row seats to create more space and reduce weight. Maybe you can fabricate a bolt in drawer system instead of the seats?? Happy to help you design!
Never fear, you are reading our minds - we have some ideas in store for the Prado storage yet.
Very well done Kaon
Thank you! :)
Prado SWB has massive rear windows that this would be great for. And absolutely come to Perth.
Would most likely be a direct fit, too! Another vote for Perth ;)
Outstanding! Great build. With the exception of the white front bumper, looks awesome. (I prefer black) Any plans to make a prototype of the rear external window guards for a Discovery 2? I’ll buy them and test them.
Excellent video series and great to have such an inovative quality Australian brand on the market. Would be interested to see mounting options for the ARB twin compressor particularly on the 120 Prado Diesel models which might also be compatable with the Prado 150. Keep up the great work and best of luck at the shows.
Absolutely unreal. Have plenty of your products and will for sure be buying more - love the rear window mounting option, hoping it comes out soon 👌
Thanks for the kind words!
Sausage rolls go good as well. 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Fish fingers🤣🤣🤷♂️, hell no, not cooking fish in my 4x4
What's the wheel size and offset et number. Did you choses for prado
I like the rear door basket! How about you come up with a rear door open handle for the USA Lexus GX 460 (Prado 150).
Thank you! How do you mean?
@@KAONaust the US spec GX doesn’t have a rear door handle to open the back door from inside. Would be great if you had a kit with all the parts.
The rear window basket 🙏🏻
Awesome little addition, isn't it? Thank you!
Rear window rack please. Would be perfect as my pantry. Also, the covers on the outside of the rear window look fantastic.
Thanks for the kind words!
Some great work on the Prado, love the external rear tyre accessories but unsure on the internal back window storage as would mark the tint and the side rear quarter panels 🤔🤔🤔. Water storage is 100% , a must for remote touring! Congrats, well done and tidy build!
I love your innovative products and the smart use of space around the Prado. I've already started upgrading my 150 Series Prado with your products and have been thoroughly impressed. The attention to detail, from product packaging to installation videos, is amazing. Cant wait to see you guys in Sydney. I have a suggestion: It would be great to have a refill point for water near the front grille. I noticed an Anderson plug installed in one of your videos, and a similar setup for water would eliminate the need to open the bonnet for every refill. The front grille's elevation would also allow for an effective gravity feed.
When will you have bits for the new gen mux
We're hoping we'll have the capacity to look at more MU-X items in the future, but it's not something we have planned on the schedule for the short term.
Probably balance like s**t…..
see you in perth dad!
Haha!
I have the same prado and a few kaon accessories. I DEFINITELY want that rear window Molle panel
Thanks for the kind words!
When can we expect to see them ready to purchase? I can’t wait for them to be available. 😊😂
If the production of the side step water tank is difficult, try to make the tank from plastic and put it under a metal sleeve. Great work...
We are working through a bunch of manufacturing options very similar to this as we speak! Glad to hear you're on the same page ;)
Very cool mate, thanks for sharing. Has given me some ideas to play with in my 150 build. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the kind words, glad to hear we've been able to give a bit of inspiration for your own build.
Love your work Kaon crew!! I just wish you did more stuff for the 90 series Prado cos theres a lot of them still around but I understand why you dont. I have fittes a 150 rear table to my 90 back door and it worked out better than I had hoped with some careful planning . Keep up the great shit!!
Thanks for the kind words, we are looking to see what we might do for the 90 in the near future! :)
The car looks great mate the side step water is ingenious as are the outside molle panels
Thank you, glad to hear you like the concept products!
