Still trying to find a ute for work and was wondering if there are child anchors for the gq or gu utes?

I don't think there are any legal ones and I do know someone who has removed the passenger seat belt female slot device and made that hole to anchor point which does "seem" logical but interested to read your thoughts on this?

Not saying its safe but just interested on opinions.

Straight through the floor mate and a rated child restraint anchor with the designed big washer each side of the floor pan and bobs ya auntie mate

Logical meaning if that point failed then obviously there is a issue with the initial poi t of the device for a standard passenger sitting there in case of an accident.

Yes i cant see the difference of that set up through the floor behind the front seat and the floor behind teh back seat mate? only consideration is a passenger airbag. My XR6 Ute had the restraint through the rear wall of the Ute. You could do that?

My brother does not want to buy a ute for me unless it has an hydronic tipper.

For 8-10k it is a nightmare trying to find one.

Has to be 4wd as well...dreaming!

I'm driving a cab over bongo van at the moment with a blown head and its a joke...lol
