Builds Eric’s ‘08 GX470 build (2 Viewers)

Why did you go with that table? It’s about $170-$200 more than the Front Runner table.

I went back and forth for sure. In the end I wanted a bigger surface area, I felt the quality of the Outback was much better and I found a deal for a little over $200 for it.
And we live that Patagucci life

I’m a little behind on posting progress

Gobi rack and ladder install!!
Yes! It took about 4 months to get our rack made and delivered from Gobi. Worth it.

Alu-Cab shadow 270 awning install.

(Snuck some sliders and a 10” spot, light bar on as well but no good picture of that.)

-July 2018-
First big trip with our current setup. 2 weeks in British Columbia, Jasper NP, Banff NP, Alberta and Washington state.

Got our camp lighting setup, kitchen in good order and realized we wanted a drawer system

Hey mate, are you running our drawers still? I don't see them in any of the photos. If you could post up photos and your review of them, it would be great for everyone else to hear.

Dobinsons rear drawer install

The install was pretty straight forward. Can’t say there aren’t any annoying parts but technically easy enough.
Pull out the OEM 3rd row floor anchors. Bolt in the drawer ribs.

Throw the empty drawers on top and adjust for desired placement

Redrill some mounting holes. I do wish the had more hole options already drilled.

Adding the wings took a little more adjusting of the whole drawers. I have our system pretty far towards the front from what I’ve seen others so the wings don’t match the molded sides of the cargo area perfectly.

I’ve read that the prado guys had to “lift” the whole drawers up to fit the wings correctly. This looks true on the GX470 as well. I’ll add some sort of spacer underneath soon. All functionality works great though.

Looking good! I'm in the market for a GX and move on from my Tacoma. Test drove a white 07 a few days ago and the v8 really impressed me.

The prado 150 kit comes with 26mm aluminum spacers to raise it to the correct height for the wings (comes with wing kit) I'll have to check the 120 kit and see if it's supposed to be added in there too.

Thank you for looking into that. It’s not terrible but I’ll probably raise the box up a half inch with plywood or something to straighten it out if you don’t have any other options.

Pelfreybilt hybrid front bumper and ComeUp 9.5rs winch installed

Epic build man, truck looks great with the Pelfrybuilt addition!

 

[JoshieWho]

Patagucci haha

 

[subspd]

Wow that Alu-cab is epic!

 

[Tak555]

love your build! any reason why you went with the 17x8.5 instead of the 17x9 wheels by scs?

 

[ArBrnSnpr]

Lucky you got your bumper.

I was one if the unlucky Pelfreybilt customers.

The build is looking good though!
