Vellfire advise
CraigA ·Hi, I'm looking to buy a Vellfire and would appreciate some advise please. I have aspirations of doing the North Coast 500 next year and plan to sleep in the Vellfire. So my question is can the seats in a 7 seater be made into a bed (for 2 people), or is it only the 8 seater models? Are there any major differences between the two (7 and 8 seater) apart from the extra seat. As I'll be doing the NC500 should I consider a 4wd model. Any idea what the average -
Big Brake Kits?
I'm finding my 2010 GGH25 a bit under-braked, can anyone recommend a brake upgrade that won't break the bank? I have looked at Brembo kits and the other big brands but don't really want to spend £2500 + just for the front. EBC do four new discs and pads for under £400 but I would like to upgrade the calipers ideally. Any suggestions/recommendations?

Does anyone have access to the Toyota Service Manual or Service Data Sheet for the 20-series GGH25W 4WD and could provide the relevant values, or a screenshot/transcription of the appropriate page? Many thanks, Tom

My van is full of junk and I'm away at the moment so I can't measure it easily, but I do know it's 2.44m from the back of the front seats to the tailgate. So assuming everything is flat and you are up to 2m tall there isn't a ton of extra space. If you are shorter then I think you may be able to slide the rear seat forward to create some more space, or keep it in the seated position which eats about 20cm but gives you a seat back behind which you can stash stuff. Those with rear conversions can confirm but I expect they take about 30-40cm which still leaves enough for the sleeping area. Also, I'm not sure if there are versions with electric middle seats which don't have the solid sides. I would probably aim for manual middle seats in case the electric ones are less flexible.

Do you know how much space is left from the back of the last seat to the back door when in "bed mode"? I need to fit all my stuff in that space and want to see if I can have stack boxes or what back there depending on the width left having all the seats spread out.

The 7 seater version with folding armrests can also be arranged into a similar lie flat layout. You have to remove the head rests from the second row before folding the seats. It's still quite lumpy so you want a mattress on top, but it's usable without any permanent modifications. You can also just fold one side, so you could have a single bed plus a seated/cargo section. The 7 seater with solid plastic armrests won't do it, I think.
