My Rig

really nice example coming along here. very interested to hear what you think of the the outback drawers as I'm tossing up between these of the black widow drawers. the local 4x4 shop who sells both recommended the arb item over the black widow option, as they're about $400 cheaper and as good, if not better quality and fit.

Gidday mate, I have outback drawers......this is my second lot, the first being on a 100 series. The handles on the ARB one are better than the black widow drawers......much more user friendly.....Hope that helps.

Matt-mr4x4, will dig up the part #'s for the coils and post tomorrow..

Derek11, I am keen to find out first hand myself on the tank, the honest answer i got from the tank maker was that they cannot 100% guarantee complete accuracy of the tank working with the OEM trip computer/ fuel guage but in trials so far their have been favorable responses. A lot comes down to the people fitting the tank, we have fitted a lot of long range tanks to a lot of different fleet vehickles at my workplace, it's a bit of trial and error getting the guage on the tank to sit in the sweet spot that works acurately but haven't had any problems on any vehicles yet. This is the first 150 Prado though so will see how it goes.

Outback7, haven't had any dramas with the Kaymar bar so far. As long as the people fitting do a good job you should be right, couple of things to watch if you go the dual wheel. make sure there is a good gap between the left wheel carrier upright arm and the replacement door handle panel they fit. It can be a tight fit but you need good clearance or the upright arm will bang on it. Make sure they fit so the sidewings run flush with the panels, there is a support arm for the wings that can get pushed in when being transported that will make the wings sit inside the guard if they dont line them up properly and that will look shithouse.

brentonsav, i picked the outback drawers over the ARB because of the height. ARB overall height is 320mm where the outback is 280mm. I have a mate that has the ARB ones and they just look that little bit too high for me. I liked the blackwidow ones too because they were only 275mm but i prefered the drawers on the outback for the finger gap at the top of the drawer to eliminate the possibility of being in the bush and someone jamming their hands in them. could be a very painfull injury with the weight of a fully loaded drawer.

OUtback7 I too have a Kaymar fitted and have done for the best part of a year. Not sure what ARB are talking about with plastic bit but I can say that I've stood on mine to load the roof rack as well as packing the rear and never had an issue. I have the wheel carrier on the right and a twin jerry can holder on the left so don't have the issues Daimar96 spoke of re door opener. Might add, after coming back from Lakefiled late last year the door was a little hard to open. i think it was due to the excessive amount of bull dust in the mechanism. After a decent clean and some dry lube, it's fine. I would highly recommend the Kaymar.

Cheers,
Dusty

Thanks Dusty.....where I meant was on the side guard that the steel bar butts up too. That is flimsy. Have you found that?

[Dusty74 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Dusty74]

Kaymar provides a bracket that is riveted to the inner guard which prevents the quarter panel from flexing. The plastic guard isn't attached to this, it just rests against it. Mine was the first to be fitted by ARB here in Cairns and there are some niggly little things, but all in all I wouldn't be without one, despite the high cost.

P.S. Sorry for hijacking this thread,
