Yeah did that to the last bar, they're not so low on this one though, so will see how it goes. May just chop out the middle........ The bar is only temporary til I get the funds for a steel one or custom bar made.

Tapped out on the phone MC

Either that or she doesn't like being in the ute without her child seat

Removed the old bar, ground off the scrub bars from the steps. Keeping the steps on for now because of the kids, will get some sliders on there down the track. Chucked on the replacement bar.........makes the front end look rather bare now. Thinking I might either spray the grill black or even bling it up with a chrome one

I can put one in mine too. Mine's a 2005 GU DX ute, with no frills. It's gunna cost me about $190 to do it and because I've still got my 'bench' seat, the anchor point has to go on the passenger side, not for the middle seat.

Over here, some fitters give you a compliance plate, too.

If you're considering doing this, check with your fitting station or government gurus on this subject - before you start drilling holes.

Yeah I had to take it to an authorised restraint fitting place

They put it in and gave me a certificate stating that it complies.

I have the 2 bucket seats and centre console. As I took out the bench seat

Same model ute as DX Grunt

I should have looked at the radar shouldn't I ? Half way through ripping the kaymar bar off , I got 4 bolts that just would not budge, and to top if off, that misty rain began soaking me very quickly. Not impressed lol.

Yeah thanks guys but the one to convince isn't me its the minister for war and finance and I can honestly say that only when he'll freezes over will there be a child seat in the ute.

I was on a farm when we were cutting wood and I know it's no excuse to have a child unrestrained I was the passenger and my mate was driving(his family farm) and we didn't get out of second gear idle because we were showing my daughter the cows and sheep and all the other animals on the farm
