Space is always a premium for overland tourers and weekend family 4WD getaways. This is my solution to make the most of wasted space…
In today’s episode I’ll be talking through and showing you how I went about designing, building and fitting a custom storage box to compliment the EmuWing side access panel on my Toyota Landcruiser 200 series.
The space between my existing fridge box surround and the rear quarter panel window was wasted. From narrow and inconvenient access to the inability to organise or divide the space, this area was in need of some attention to create a neat, organised and easily accessible storage space for overloading travel.
I have done a full review on the EmuWing side access panel for those who are interested: • EmuWing Installed on a...

@Oz4me_craig 2 года назад

Absolutely a work of art, you are inspiring so many more additions to my rig! This after the disappointment with the emu wing installation, must make it feel worthwhile, everytime you open that side of the 200, all that dead space is now so useful👍

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Cheers mate, appreciate the comments there! The success of this project has definitely made the EmuWing fitment a little less of a sore topic... definitely a useful space now. Cheers, Nathan.

@paulchaseling9154 2 года назад

Hey Nathan another well thought out design and exceptionally well detailed video. As a new 200 owner I'm constantly reviewing your vids to plan my build. Like yourself I'm to waiting for the new van to arrive at which hopefully most restrictions would have eased over here on the east coast so the family and I can start exploring this great country of ours. I rate you as one of the best content creators on this platform. Keep up the great work mate. Cheers Paul 👍

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Thanks Paul, it's awesome to hear that you are enjoying my videos and able to get some useful information from them. Have fun building your vehicle, the planning and building stage it one of the most enjoyable parts in my opinion. Ahh, the waiting game, our van has definitely taken longer than expected, however I can only hope it will be worth the wait. All the best with your setup, I'd be very interested to see how it all turns out in the end if you're keen to send a photo through on our Fb or Insta pages? Cheers, Nathan.

You kicked up the editing a notch.. especially the intro! Nice video again mate and that cruiser is a dream to travel with.. keep up the good work.. cheers mate 🤙🏼

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Thanks mate, alway trying to improve, little bit by little bit. I think I'm getting to the stage where I can say the cruiser is 'almost' finished. I enjoy modifying and creating the cruiser almost as much as getting out there and exploring sometimes!

@jasonhowe1697 2 года назад

note if you are going to support shore power whether it be at home, cv park or gen set you will be needing to be fused inlet at about 20 amps or so..

@michaeljf64 2 года назад

Nice work! I agree with ply vs MDF. Ply has more strength for flex and vibration, and it'll be interesting to see how the MDF holds up over time and over rough roads. I built a similar thing for an a Delica many years ago. Same methods. I found that clamping the carpet while it adhered made a big difference, too.

@XploringOz 2 года назад

For sure, that was a novice mistake, however time will tell in regards to how well it will hold up. Otherwise it will be back to the drawing board for another ply version... Cheers, Nathan.

@texlee1640 2 года назад

I wish we had this product for the 200 here in the states.

Yes, too bad they don't offer this over there. Would really fill a gap in the market

@anthonyconway180 2 года назад

Nice work I think you need a cargo barrier to protect your precious cargo in the back seat and cab!!

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Yes, definitely something I'll need to design moving forward. Cheers.

@Burnyzassoff 2 года назад

Bloody top job mate. I’ll be keeping an eye out for your water setup video. I’ve recently placed a 42L tank in the rear of my Prado and undecided on how to measure the water level and looking at a simarine display.

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it. For sure, I'll try and get a video out in the next month or so with an explanation on this system. Having a few teething issues with the system, but nothing I can't sort out. Cheers, Nathan.

@gavinchapple825 2 года назад

Great job mate…inspiring. BTW I have seen “Gullwing” side windows installed on the side of 76 series LCs. Do you know if they can be used on LC200 & are they possibly better than the emu wing?

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Cheers mate, I have seen these systems however to my knowledge they are only available for the 70 series vehicles at present. This leaves the EmuWing as the only option for the 200 series.

@overlandphotography 2 года назад

G'day Nathan. Very clever use of space. I can't imagine how long that would have taken you to design. Be safe.

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Thanks Jim, yeah a few hours of moulding the wooden panels into shape, but all worth it in the end. I'm happy with the final result. Hope you guys are staying safe over there at this time... Cheers,

Mate great job, super clean install! Perfect spot for recovery gear?

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Thanks mate, I was pretty happy with the final result in the end. I have thought about this, it's going to take a few more trips out on the road to find the perfect solution! Cheers.

@OTWD 2 года назад

Awesome job designing that. Suggest it could be a good spot for sunscreen, insect repellant, hand sanitiser, etc. Say you get out for a quick stop - its a good place to quicly prep the kids and be on the way. Could you fit a jetboil in there ?

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Yeah, definitely some great ideas there. Always need those items with a young family out in the bush. Yes, a JetBoil would also definitely fit in there nicely, another very possible idea. Cheers, Nathan.

@warrenplumb7740 Год назад

Hi, I'm about to do the same 12v mod to my passenger side on my 200. Have you got any tips on any changes you've done since making this video? I'm going to be using mine as a 12v hub to charge phones, drones, ipads, etc possibly a 12v oven later on. Thank you.

@XploringOz Год назад

Awesome mate. So this system is still working really. Very happy with how it's performing overall. The only two changes I would make: 1 - the construction of box really needs to by Plywood, not MDF. Nothing has failed, but it would be easier, lower profile and lighter. 2 - Change the switch type to a press button. The rocker switches get knocked everyone and then when full of gear leaving lights or chargers on. Good luck with your build mate 👍

@crispyinasia61 2 года назад

A great use of space indeed. I assume you have no need to access the jack behind the panel, or have you put one in another location?

@XploringOz 2 года назад

That's correct, I have removed the factory jack and replaced it with another heavier duty unit and placed it else where in the vehicle.

@petermorris3060 2 года назад

Looks great, can you provide some detail on the GPO wiring? I'm no sparky but I didn't think it was legal to wire an extension into a GPO

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Cheers mate, not sure I can provide too much more info on that topic without some more research. Cheers.

@scottdavis4689 2 года назад

Any 240v installation must be installed by a qualified 240v electrician, otherwise it isn’t legal. This includes having an appropriate CRD in between the inverter and GPO. Remember 240v can kill if wired incorrectly…

@Muamir23 2 года назад

How’s the emu wings performance. No air leaks or dust issues getting? Is it well insulated?

@XploringOz 2 года назад

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--fuN3bv2NEo.html I have done a review dedicated to the EmuWing and my thoughts haven't change too much since then. Cheers, Nathan.

@sumdjdude 2 года назад

How much of a gap have you left for the curtain airbags to inflate?

@XploringOz 2 года назад

Not much of a gap left there, however the force would push these components backwards, away from the rear seat passengers. Just as if the cargo area was full of gear. Hopefully I'll never have to test this theory! Cheers, Nathan.

Hey mate Who made those rear drawers They look awesome

Hey mate, these are built by Custom Installations in Wangara. Highly recommend, bit of a wait time on their products though... Got a couple of videos on them on the channel too 👍
