Nomad's Lexus GX 460 - aka - Land Cruiser Prado 150

Do you prefer drawers or a flat cargo space? Leave a comment below. I revised the rear setup to give me more options and storage here: https://nomadsgx460.blogspot.com/2022/08/more-versatile-rear-storage-drawers-3rd.html I won't be using the 3rd row electric seats so I pulled them right away. 127lbs of associated seats and brackets gone! Heavier than I thought!  I also removed the large class IV hitch which was another 85lb or so. With 200lb less weight in the rear and 6 inches lower trunk floor I have something a little more useable and versatile.  In order to finish it all off I built a cargo floor with locking tie down points. I used much of what I had available and only bought what was necessary.  The silver you see is two layers of my favorite -budget- sound deadener which is "PEEL N SEAL" window seal. Look it up. It's only $20 for a roll of foil backed butyl. It deadens the resonance of the steel panels. Same as Dynamat. I used two layers as I heard some more ...

 Now for the easiest install yet! Husky molded all weather mats. They are made to fit perfectly and not move around much, they even have the mat clip holes and cover the rear center hump. These are mandatory for me as my wife is none too pleased when I come back from a day offroad or after a week worth of hauling the kids all over. The amount of dirt and leaves drug onto the carpet adds up.  These mats are better than even the Lexus versions as the molded shape "catches" the grime and typically keeps the carpets very clean.  I had just ordered the front and rear Husky mats for about $160 online when I saw a local ad for 5th gen 4Runner Husky mats. Well, these are interchangeable with the GX460 so I jumped on it.  When I showed up he gave me the rear Weathertech cargo mat for free!  Sometimes you have a good day.... These scrubbed up factory fresh with dawn soap and a brush. Good to go!
