- Hi, Andrew here from Accelerate Auto,
Electrics and Air Conditioning.
I just had a look down in my workshop and realised
we've got five Toyota 200 Series
Land Cruisers getting fit out today.
It's actually not that uncommon for us at the moment.
So I thought that we'd do a quick video,
we'd do a run around, and then this afternoon,
we'll show you what we've been busy doing today.
Okay, so back again.
This is one of them that we've finished today.
This one's had pretty much one of the most common jobs
we do to these 200's.
What we've done today is we've installed
a second battery using a genuine second Toyota tray.
This is actually the version that only came out
with one battery, if you know.
So we've used the genuine second tray in the other side.
And we generally end up installing some kind of light bar
or spot lights.
We've done a few of them.
I'll show you them later, but this has got the Titan
Light Bar on it.
We've installed that today.
We've installed the REDARC BCDC1240.
We'll show you some post ups of that mounted
behind the grill to help its cooling.
We've installed an RACQ Deep Cycle Battery on this one.
The reason why is the customer's a tourer,
and obviously with RACQ, nationwide warranty,
no better battery for a tourer out there.
Doesn't have all the bells and whistles,
but will definitely do its job, and anywhere you are
in Australia, you won't have an issue.
We've also installed Anderson Plug that we'll show you
down the rear, and various outlets in the back.
As I said before, we've used the factory Toyota tray.
We do this 'cause one thing that's very important
with these systems is to use at least 105 amp hour battery.
There's other systems around where they fit
a smaller battery up the back corner.
You just do not get the fridge run time
that everybody's looking for.
With 105, you'll get at least two to three days,
and it's really what you need in a system.
So whenever you're looking at any different 200 Series
dual-battery system, always ensure that you're gonna get
at least 100 or 105 amp hour battery, and then it's
very important with them.
We have a lot of customers who are disappointed
with the performance when they use a smaller battery.
Okay, so here we are down the back of the car.
Now, if you hear any strange noises, we actually back
onto a gym, so ignore any background noise.
The main reason why we installed this dual-battery system is
so the customer can run his fridge and charge various things
at the back here.
So the reason why we've got four outlets is
we've got a cigarette socket, and Engel and a USB socket,
and a volt meter to top it off.
Okay, so one other thing we've done on this vehicle is
they come out with a factory cigarette lighter
that's obviously wired to ignition.
We've replaced that cigarette lighter with a dual-USB port
that's actually wired to the auxiliary battery
permanent power, so that means you can charge your iPads
and so on with the ignition switched off,
or anybody in the back has constant power to running
any sort of devices like that while you're travelling.
Just a quick one.
We've also run an Anderson Plug.
The reason why I'm showing you this one is we actually use
the Trailer Vision Anderson cover.
It's really neat.
So, we don't see many people using these,
but we think its pretty much a necessity on the back
of such a good-looking car.
I'm gonna show you yet another Toyota Land Cruiser
200 Series dual battery fit out we've done today.
This one, we've used the Supercharge All Rounder
105 amp hour battery.
So again, that'll give you two to three days running
with your fridge in the rear.
We've also fitted some lovely King Spotlights.
Always a challenge, but they're going on quite well.
And this one, we've used the REDARC 1225 BCDC in the front.
And that's really most of it.
We'll show you some close ups of what we've done
in the bonnet.
Okay, and here we are down the back of the vehicle.
Now, it seems to be our standard, but we keep having our
customers wanna do it this way and see it this way,
and we keep doing it.
So what we end up doing is cigarette socket, Engel socket
and then dual USB socket with a volt meter, as well.
Seems to work quite well.
Give customers all the options.
One thing we do do a bit differently is we run a couple
of separate feeds down here.
You'll find sometimes it's easy just to run one feed
and loop it all up.
What that means is if you have a problem in one circuit,
everything goes, so you'll notice up the front,
there was a couple of different fuses.
And that fuses this all individually.
Okay, and another touch that we've added to it,
even though we fitted the Kings Spotlights,
kinda thing, we actually have fitted a factory
looking switch, rather than using the one supplied
with the kit.
We used this and it makes it a much more
professional install and actually fits in with the other
switches quite well.
All right, because I always get the outro wrong,
I'm gonna grab Briohny in to help me out.
