Well done. Very clean and simple mods to get you out for a weekend or do some touring! I have the same model running the v6 and couldn’t be more happier with it. Reliable and plenty of grunt !
Literally best build I’ve come across. I’m here in the states and really wanting to pull the trigger on a GX470 If I had the skill and patience I’d spec it out just like your rig. Thanks for the inspiration man!
Having just bought a Prado with plans to get out and about this has been a fantastic video to kick me off, well done, great ideas from front to rear and everything in between 👍👍👍
VERY WELL EXPLAINED AND SUPER TIDY,,THX FOR TAKING TIME IN MAKING THIS VID AS I JUST PURCHASED A PRADO 2007 AND WAS LOOKING FOR IDEAS ON HOW TOO,,I AM GOING TO BUILD A REPLICA OF YOUR SETUP,,,MUCH APPRECIATED,,MANY THX
@@rt-ks2bh it was a full size cargo barrier, it was actually to suit a mitsubishi van I got it for free and just cut it and bolted the bottom to the top of the drawers. That way it left room for the water bladder between it and the seats.
mate, one of the cleanest builds I've ever seen. Very nice work. If you haven't already add a rubber plug to your air compressor outlet on your bullbar so you don't get water in there.
Thanks mate - Yeah I ended up moving my compressor to inside the car in the boot so not so much dust gets into it and its cooler in there, I have an outlet at the back now rather than the front
Great build! I don't even have a Prado but yours is pretty much what I dream of doing in the future. For the next videos please consider asking a friend about doing the camera work so you don't have to do everything with just one hand!
Great setup my Prado 120 is the same you gave me some good ideas, as for the bull bar I used the Toyota one and had a Toyota cradle added, had fitted a Carbon 12000lb winch, thanks for the walk around
Thanks mate - yeah probably I'll do an update video of some sort, I have added a lift kit and winch and a bash plate and some other small changes since this video. Just subscribe i suppose and you'll see when I end up making more.
Hey mate, any chance you could give us an in-depth explanation of how you built that table on your rear door. i Understand its been a long time since, but dying to know cause it looks amazing. cheers!
@chapelle121 mate love your rig setup. Thanks for your generosity with answering everyone’s questions. I have a 2008 un-modded Prado D4D and want to go in this direction but was a bit stuck even knowing what’s possible. The way you engineered some of those solutions was inspiring. Thanks mate, subbed!
What an awesome build! In the off chance that you see this 4 years later: Do you ever have issues with rain leaking in through the door seals where you have run wires from the roof and into the car?
Nope, never had any water come in there. I have since re-wired those and ran the wires just to look more tidy. I now have them come out of the left tail light and up to the roof there.
Hey mate, what's the bracket that you have your strap going through to mount the gas bottle carrier to the spare? Would appreciate to know, bought the same carrier but have no idea how to mount it!
Thanks mate appreciate it. Looked online after I commented and they only make the carbon fibre trims for left hand drive. Assumed you wrapped. Looks great mate. Just started setting mine up now 🙂
Firstly: before you put allll that extra weight and bling on, did you upgrade your suspension?. I assume not. You will be near GVM before you know it with these cars. Trust me I know because that was the first thing I did to my 120 and boy does is handle better with the extra weight. I eventually removed abit of unnecessary weight but still getting up there.
In this video it was stock suspension but since then I have done a bunch more to the car, soon after filming this video i upgraded the suspension which was a good upgrade to do. It is quite common and easy to get near to or exceed GVM with these cars I know that.
Wow, what an awesome setup! Very, very impressive. How did you mount the fire extinguisher - is the bracket drilled into the step by the rear seat? Great solution to get it out of the way. Love the removable divider and shelf idea too. Thank you
Hi mate, yes - 1 hole is drilled and just a nut on the back of the plastic, and then got 1 longer bolt of the same thread to go into the original threaded car body mounting hole.
Hey like your set up. Wanting to put a shelf and divider like yours in my Toyota prado 2018 150. Just wondering what thickness wood did you use? Also how exactly did you attached it to handles. I can see the O bolts on the actual shelf but could t quite see how it attaches to the handle up top
It was so long ago i don't remember to be honest, wood i would guess around 18mm. Attached to the handles by getting some threaded eye bolts that goes into the same thread as the handles. then another eye bolt on the shelf, and then a turnbuckle that goes between those eye bolts. and back the back just bolted to the cargo barrier.
Hey mate, there is a rubber bung just under the carpet near the rear left tail light area (near the jack compartment) . If you look under the car you will see it. Drill a hole through and poke the hose through
Mate… that’s a setup to be very proud of ! 👌🏻 Maybe a dumb question but have you done something to make your kings air compressor stop when it pressures up ? I have one but I don’t think it stops like that at a high pressure. Maybe it does 🤷♂️
If its a kings thumper max dual compressor, it should have an inbuilt pressure switch, you don't have to do anything it just cuts out when it reaches a certain pressure, which if your trigger is closed and it's not leaking anywhere it should reach that pressure very quickly and just cut out until you open the trigger or whatever again which will turn it back on.
I have another video showing that a bit more, check my channel and you should find it. I did actually since move the compressor into the boot as it still sometimes got too hot
@@chappelle121 Could you advice how tall they are including the bracket as have an ARB roof rack and would like to position it in the same location, I have a gap of 70mm from the roof to the bottom of the roof rack rail
back in the day when i got them they were specifically advertised as a draw set for prado 120. now i think you just buy the 900mm size twin drawers, and a 'wing kit' to suit prado 120. I'd suggest to contact 4wd supa centre to confirm that's accurate but that's my assumption.
Hi mate, thanks ! I don't have plans unfortunately, that one was all just off the cuff figuring it as I go. Basically just got a bit of wood for the divider and cut it in a shape that would work combined with the angle off the cargo barrier, couple hinges and carpet and its done! the shelf was the same deal, just got some wood and carpet and cut to fit in the space
Hey mate, I’m trying to do what you’ve done by ratchet strapping the gas bottle to spare wheel. I’ve got the same oztrial gas bottle holder but realise you’ve got some other small attachment between the holder and the tyre that it looks like you’ve bolted the holder to? Just wondering what it is, where you got it and how you went about doing it
I just went to bunnings, wondered around and just found something that would work. What i used is something called a "grunt e track fixing plate". If i was to do this again now i would just buy the kaon gas bottle bracket, google that and maybe that might be a better solution for you :)
Thanks mate! Yeah have had a look at the Kaon ones. Look the good but a bit out of my price range. How did you go about attaching the bracket to the holder, would u do anything differently if u did it again? I want to make sure it’s as strong as possible
What cargo barrier do you have there mate? I have the same car in the UK and I'm struggling to find anything better than cheap pet barriers ... cheers.
Its a Milford cargo barrier..a actually one out of a mitsubishi van that I got for free and just cut it and made it work in the space. It mounts to the top of the drawers in my case so it makes that bit of space behind the seats useable.

Sorry i can't remember now, i got it from bunnings some sort of tie down bracket but i don't use it anymore. Some earlier comment I mentioned it if you want to look though them all LOL
How do the Titan Drawers fit with that full cargo barrier? Looking at a barrier myself but wasn’t sure on fitment with the drawers. Is it a Toyota barrier?
The barrier is DIY, its actually from a mitsubishi van that I got for free, i just cut the bottom off it and mounted the cargo barrier itself to the back of the drawers, thats what gives me a bit of room for the water bladder to fit between the barrier and the seats. Probably with a proper barrier you wouldnt have the room to do that and maybe the drawers would interfere with mounting it. You could also look at a kaon pet barrier or something, they only go half way.
its just black melamine wood from the hardware store, cut to size, couple hinges, couple screws and the metal wire to hold it up. if you want like i did some carpet on the bottom is nice too. Everyhing you need can be got at bunnings (if you are in australia)
Its basically a heavy duty ratchet strap wrapped around the Tyre - I used a product from Bunnings called "Grunt E-track Fixing Plate" which has cut outs for a strap to fit though. so that is basically strapped that to the spare Tyre, then i bolted an oz trail holder to that plate with another little flat bar to make it more sturdy.
Did you have to run a board under the drawers to give it more height , so the drawers didnt foul on rear plastic scuff ? Ive heard of a few people with 120's doing this!
I didn't but a common thing that has to be done with those drawers, i wanted to save the weight so my side wings just are slightly angled but you barely notice
This is one of the neatest, organised, practical and well thought out setups I’ve seen. Well done mate, great vid
indeed
Amazing amazing, amazing!!!!! There's nothing that car can't do my man ... money well spent!!!🎉🎉 enjoy more family outings🎉
Well done. Very clean and simple mods to get you out for a weekend or do some touring! I have the same model running the v6 and couldn’t be more happier with it. Reliable and plenty of grunt !
