It is in the footwell area of the third row, under the renogy battery. It is wired to the battery in the back drivers side and I put the control switch in the spot where the third row control buttons were in the far back. So to use it I open the back and the hose connector is right there.

Both easy if you proceed carefully.

I have found that the Toyo tires perform well. I air down as appropriate and have installed an ARB brushless compressor to make that process easy. When the tires get worn, I will likely replace them with something else, but have not found the need to do so early. Other tires might look...

The seats are heated, ventilated and have air bags in them. I am sure it is possible to disconnect all these features, however, I do not believe it would be without its complications. On my 100 series the second row come out by just removing 4 bolts. That is the difference.

No, the design gives the vents plenty of space to draw air and function normally.

My 700H Overtrail is finally ready for some long trips. After removing the third row it took me some time to sort out a Drawer and Fridge rack system for the back of the vehicle. Not being able to remove the second-row seats I had to find a way to make maximum use of the cargo space in the...

I mounted the ARB brushless compressor in the foot well of the third row which I deleted. It will be under a new floor when I get that installed. Very convenient for wiring to the battery and I used the button spot for the third row for the switches to control the Compressor. Works great...

I go out that forest road all the time, Usually past the Devils bridge turn off and to the end (about 5 miles) to hike the trails deep in the Sacred Mountain wilderness. Almost nobody is encountered out there.

The Prinsu rack adds real value with the side panels. 6 gallons of gas on one side and my recovery boards on the other side makes me much more comfortable to go where I like to go. Without the ability to remove the second row seats I needed a solution to store my Max Trax boards. this...

She is almost ready for her first overnight trip. On top is the Roofnext EVO 3 XL rooftop tent. I have a Roofnest Falcon pro on my 100 series. The EVO 3 XL is 8 inches wider and a few longer to make for a much more comfortable sleep for my wife and I. Thank Toyota for AHC, so that this...

I took out my Third Row as well. Not too difficult. I left the frame which the seat was attached to to protect the battery until I sort out how to put in a drawer system which would then cover the battery, Also installed a compressor in what was the foot well of the third row.

This past week, I added the side panel and some Rotopax gas containers. I had intended to use two 3 gallon but the forward 3 gallon came to far forward and blocked the rear door from opening. So, at least this gives me an extra 4 gallons in this configuration.

It seems to be an issue for those who do not have the vahicle, for those who actually own one it is not an issue or a minor adjustment resolves it.

Mine has zero hood flutter at any speed.

I have yet to drive it at speed. The front wind screen goes right and tight to the roof, so any noise would be turbulence over the top. I plan to put a roof top tent on, and when I do that seal the airflow from the rack to the tent. I did the same on my 100 and got no increase in noise or...
