Because TH-cam copyrighted the music and removed it, that’s why. Hot tip, hit mute. 👍

Hey Richard, thanks for the kind words mate. I sure did pull it all out. Seeing as most of these end up in land fill when they die, I’m happy that mine and likely 100s more kept going with some “cheap chinese piece of crap”. Sounds like you’re a pro, so you do you mate and enjoy your non China expensive fix. 👌 Over 2 years on, mines still running strong 💪. Beers were ice cold today for Christmas. Merry Christmas 🎄

I’m not too sure sorry mate. Would need to pull it down and have a look at the controller

Replaced it with a Hayman Reese HD bar. I didn’t trust the cast factory tow bar for recoveries.

okay thanks!@@ShedintheValley

I moved it on unfortunately. Not sure where it is these days.

Great to see your vid Matt. Glad this helped!

Mate sorry for late reply. LT 265 70 17s in this video.

These are to suit a 150 Series. They fit nicely around the ARB bar. You can get them from eBay or places that sell RoadSafe brand too.

I have a run down of the Prado in my other video.

@@ShedintheValley ive checked your other video out and im surprised the fact that you put these mods on. I would appreciate it if you contacted me I really need help with modding my 120 Prado cheers

That’s a shame! Could have fixed 5 for the price of that one part.

It’s fairly straightforward. 4 wires and that’s about all it needs. I will though make a detailed step by step if I get another fridge to sort out.

Sorry I’m not sure Pat. No issues with the aftermarket controller. The buttons take a bit of force to change. Mind you, mines been set and forget.

It’s off a FJ Cruiser. I had to fab up a bracket to make it fit, but a lot neater and also mounted a rear camera in it. I have to make another video shortly of how I built it

Unfortunately no, however I run a 240v to 12v transformer. Something like this. www.jaycar.com.au/12vdc-7-5a-switchmode-power-supply-mains-to-cigarette-lighter-socket/p/MP3575 There are also cheaper alternatives.

With the age of the 120s now, after market parts can be sourced for good prices! We have just started a new project, a touring Dual Cab Ute, so watch this space for the new build!

Exactly.

Hi Lee, try something like the STC-100A. Just make sure it’s the 12v model.

@@ShedintheValley Thanks! Now I see there are many 12v DC temp controllers with relay. What a deal they are only $10-$20. I have one on order that looks pretty good. I am looking forward to getting into the repair and my Waeco cf-50 back on the road. I bought in 2003 and this is the first time it's ever broken.

@@leefitzgerald5601 perfect. These earlier ones have the DanFoss compressor in them. They are great.

@@ShedintheValley I purchased mine in 2003. So long ago and it never failed until August 2021. If this repair fixes the problem, it will almost be better than new!

Roughly 2.5” on both, and 265/70 17s

@@ShedintheValley what brand suspension?

I run Bilstein Stuts/Shocks and King Springs. Ryan is running Dobinson allround.

Haha! Don’t have the time to finish the bits in mine. Electrical does take ages to do. Got a lot of respect for auto sparkies

I’m a technician in the fire industry and you’d think I’d eat this stuff up for breakfast but noooooo chance haha. Shed full of gear to wire up and install and that’s where it’ll stay until I cbf’d lol

Hi Andy, thanks for the comments. The AC fan was off ebay from a wrecker. They are hard to locate but if you keep an keen eye on gumtree/facebook etc can locate a Grande, they run them. Its not that well known of a mod (not like the trip computer!).Best of luck locating one.

@@ShedintheValley thanks mate, I'll try Tony's wreckers in Perth. Cheers

Caleb Howell sure do, but I would get it checked out first. Consider it insurance for your motor. Watch some of Anthony 4x4 Diesel for some good guidance.

Also regarding your rear fridge and drawer setup, I also need the space in the back for carting crap around when not out bush and I have been looking around for a setup that can be taken out easily and quickly and uses the existing mounting points in car. Check out forbyfitouts.com.au . I saw them at last 4X4 show in Melb, quality gear with optional setups to choose from.

Chris Duxson yes AMTS makes some good gear. Yes to switch between cameras I have run a 3 way switch that allows me to switch between the 2. Power from reverse comes to the switch, then power to each camera from the switch when selected. As for RCA, I have the cameras going from 2 into 1 adapter. (Works because only one camera has power at a time). It’s been great.

Rampy mate did it via doors but I didn’t like the look of the cables coming out that way. I took the strips off up the sides of the front windscreen and put cables up both sides, I also have one running up the rear from outside the tail light. I’ll take a video of how I did it and put it up for you.

@@ShedintheValley cheers mate

hi do you have the link of how to conect themo fan

Sanjay Singh it’s from Jaram Roof Racks in Perth. I think it’s a copy of the track lander. Alloy and strong. Been very happy with it.

Cameron Upton they are strong mate. Also come with little holders to make them sit in the Windows, though I haven’t used them. They fit perfectly to the windows. I also use the front window ones for the back window crossed over, you can see them in the video. Just jam them behind the trim panels.

BE GTS-AV in 20s.

Dan theman it’s a 2007. Injectors need to be replaced just as maintenance. I got the intake and EGR cleaned and acid bathed at the same time. That also included all labour which was a good price.

Volcanic I kept it pretty tight. Though I have replaced the body to chassis bushes which stops a bit of movement. It doesn’t rub when general off-roading. I would say it’s 20mm maybe a little less.

@@ShedintheValley Thx for the reply, were your bushes worn/compressed much ? I've been considering to renew mine though also thinking about a 1 - 1.5'' body lift but not sure yet what else will have to be modified..

Volcanic I haven’t body lifted, only suspension. There is a few things you would need to sort out including steering etc, and you will have a gap between bullbar and body you will need to fill the gap.

@@ShedintheValley Yeah cheers I will have to look into it more, just want to be able to squeeze 285x75x17 mud tyres in there with my 50mm lift and minimal body lift.

Fishing with Deeanno you can file out the plastic, then also file down the under dash panel to fit the switch panel upside down so all the switches are on top row. Factory mirror control is at the top.

@@ShedintheValley Awesome, Thanks!

Tim Reynolds yep bolt straight up.

Agree, interesting to know! I was told they would fit on ARB Bars with some mods but finding out that 150's bolt straight on is great. I bet most suppliers don't know that!
