had a win on ebay and picked up a cheap cargo barrier of ebay,,, finaly got one at the right price yay and it was a genuin nissan barrier :bigthumbup:

how ever in doing this i found out i had an issue with this. i needed a fitting kit for it so first stop was ARB soiuthern who told me that milford would not sell anyone fitting kits because they were sick of their product being sold on ebay for half the price.

next to TJM just down the road who said yup we can get them and made a call as sooon as he said it was genuin nissan barrier i got the bad news that i would have to go to nissan for the fitting kit. ("u have got to be sh&%$*^tting me"):blowup:

long story short i went home in disgust and put the thinking cap on,,, turns out the brackets on the cage were the right lenght,,,, and i was able to use the bolts out of the boot area i.e. removed the grab handles for the 3rd row seats and the short bracket on the top fits in where grab handle was and recieves the bolt that held the handle. the bottom brackets reach the floor tie down points. remove the tie down points and reuse the bolts on the bottom brackest of the cage. once i worked that out it only toke me about half an hour to fit. will throw up some pics of the fitting tomorrow

Nice one, Iv'e been watching out for GQ ones too and they don't come up often and if they do then they sell for a good price!

ok as promised here are the pics showing how the barrier fits in the GU patrol bottom brace goes to a tie down piont on floor removed the tie down and recycled the bolts

the top bracket goes into the hole left by removing the grab handle for the third row seats. bracket fitts into the front hole and again i recycled the screws from the handles as i was not going to spend a rediclus amount of money for bolts and screws from Nissan as i was told i had to by TJM. because it was a genuine nissan/milford barrier!!!
