Nice build thread you have going there vscorsa, I especially like the neat wiring job.
Just an update.
Installed the erps rust protection module the weekend before last. After downloading the installation instruction from there website and attempting to wire the doors up it got me to thinking. What if I ever need to replace the doors in the event of an accident? I quickly decided not to run the pads into the doors but to mount them in the sills as close to the door hinges as I could get. All up it took around 15 hours to install, start to finish and to achieve the finish that I was after.
While removing the rear drawer system I finally found out why it wasn't sitting quite the way it was meant to, lodged underneath was my 11mm socket that I'd lost all those months ago. Also went underneath the Prado with some ct18 and a hose, cleaning down the chassis and underbody. Also removed door panels and cleaned out the interior. Next I went over the entire care with heavy duty lanolin that was applied using one of those pump up pressure sprayers you get from the hardware store. The long nozzle allowed me to get into every crevice, above the fuel tanks and inside the chassis. I think now she should be ready for almost everything. Still working on suspension and waiting for the new roster to kick in before booking it in for a set of Cooper STmaxx.
Cheers,
Chris.
