if you’re willing to ship to SF, I might be interested in taking those off your hands...

Straps and tie downs can be looped through or under the grid sections without removing them. For anything else I want to bolt down I can just pop out the grid floor completely. I can also get to most of the first panel through the sunroof. I’ve attached one of @nakman vidoes if how the panels work. They are slick.
I use a few zip ties for safety. I can remove/install the entire solar setup and grids in just a few minutes.
Well this weekend I finally bit the bullet to do a deep clean of the interior. 12 years of nastiness, most of it not mine.
I feel like Toyota missed a golden opportunity for truly Cooled seats rather than ventilated. Seems like it would be appropriate on a flagship vehicle. Just needed to tap into the cool box. I’m imagining the normal ventilated system, but turn the cool box on and you get a little extra freeze on the underside.
of course mine is an ‘08, so I would gladly take even ventilated.

can you advise much you spent on that setup? I really like that.Installed the ARB outback storage system. Organizing gear in the drawers will definitely satisfy my OCD

Two ARB drawers plus side fit kits will run around $2000 USD

I paid around $2700 CAD.
Joined the 200 club today! This is my second cruiser, first was a 60 and reluctantly sold it.
Glad to be back in a Toyota after having gone to the dark side (heep) for a couple of months.
She only has 93k on her. Needs some TLC, but nothing I can't tackle at home. On it's original radiator still! My guess is it's a ticking time bomb so I'll be doing a cooling system refresh and a starter replacement. Also have what seems to be a very small exhaust manifold tick that needs to be addressed. Contacted the delaer I purchased from to see if they would cover repairs if an issue is found.

So how did you work out the fit kit for the RF side?? Need to know!
Part number RFFKADP1045L ("L" for left, also offered as "R" for right). Most US vendors (and ARB USA) are unaware that this item exists. . .I only found it thru contact with ARB Australia. If you order it there's some on-site engineering required. I'm happy to walk you through it.
Assembled and installed KISS drawer one of two. Added light to interior, and fabricated anchors. Second drawer and wing inbound. Still deciding on finish. Already planning phase 2 of system...sliding top drawer/deck and electrical on wings?

Ah.
I’ve never seen the short drawer with a side fit kit and frankly wondered if there were fit kits for the short drawers. Glad to see.
What I actually wish for is a side fit kit version that could accommodate the height of a standard height with a short drawer under it...so like 1.5x height fit kit.
If anyone knows of such a thing, I would find that very interesting.

How much ass sag do these cause for the 200? They seem pretty stout and heavy.

They are kinda heavy, but remember that when drawers go in, the weight of the third row comes out. Third row seats are heavy too.
Weight of items stored on drawers add up. But with proper springs it’s really not a problem.

Thanks, my 3rd row has been out since day one. Changing springs for the benefits of the drawers isn’t worth it for me at this time. I guess I’ll just stick with my rubber made action packer.

Not saying you have to change springs.
Just saying that when I added drawers, it did not lead to its own need for a spring swap.
Springs are quick and pretty inexpensive, btw.
Bought one.
