Welcome, Gidyarp!

Interested to know what you put in the second row seats to get a head rests, and any tips or tricks you learned. I have an 89 Mav wagon and the cargo barrier looks like it would win a head butting competition

Hi silver,

I got a set of middle row seats out of a higher spec model that had headrests fitted to em !!!! If you cant find any of them around I have seen guys permantly fix a headrest setup directly to the cargo barrier...

Gogman,

Yeah Drew is back over here as well now and is working for the shell distribution plant in Brissy !!!! His truck is still as impressive as ever and has had a locker and a few other bits and pieces added since leaving WA.
