Hi all

Need some help please ..
What does that little A/C rear button do ? :roll:
RTFM I think is the first thing to do

RTFM is always a good place to start!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: New to this...
Just used the Fortuner boot mat as template and some super wood, covered with carpet. The wings in the back corners you need to cut off otherwise you can't remove the 'plank' when needed to (thats with jump seats still in place)Blackadder wrote:Len. you got a drawing for that bak-plank or was it just cut as you go...???
