finally received my luggage hooks...

Hey mate, where did you get the luggage hooks from? I want to tie down my fridge like you without adding in a slider or anything.

Cheers,
Nick

They are actually a BMW part and available from Pelican Parts in the USA. If you do a Google search with "site: pradopoint.com" tacked on the end you should find some thread references to the specific part. Seems Toyota dealers don't know how to source these luggage hooks despite the system being in use on so many Prados, go figure!

A great quality light bar. What size and where are you mounting it?

Hi Rob,

It's a 30 inch... I'm going to mount it under the platform like the rear lights.

I see Rhino have made forward mounting brackets for light bars now, but I want it under to ensure anything on the roof doesn't touch/move it.

Finally got the bar mounted... Wiring will be finished tomorrow



No extra wind noise at any speed... May even be a little quieter.

Just clocked over 175k on original injectors and it's still running sweet.

This looks amazing! Literally just read the thread from start to finish in one sitting. That platform setup is the exact one I was imagining!

Hi Jason.
Such a nice 150. What did you end up getting to replace it?
