Different engines use different clutches though. If you have a TD42 there's a good chance you can just unbolt it rather than drilling holes in it.

Not so much the patrol, but a roof rack..
Bought this awning a while back for $250ish and this rack came attached..
But was a gu rack and 2.5m long..
So have cut it down to 1.8m and some flash new mounts to suit the gq..
So it's now done and painted. Just need to make the clamps, mount the awning and throw it on..
