Hi All.
Just a warning for other pod owners.
I noticed a couple of strange dents this weekend where the cab and pod have met. (See pic)
My mechanic investigated and found two mount bolts and rubbers broken and 4 loose.
I drive on pretty extreme roads/tracks every week for work so wear n tear expected.
Just thought if you own one it's worth checking your mounting bolts.
Marty.

Whats the space between the back of the pod and the cabin,
Patrol body mounts allow for a fair bit of flex

I'm guessing 75+ mm

I don't think Telstra expected the Pods to be subjected to such harsh conditions.
Is it the Pod moving or the cabin you think?
Unless you can space it back to say 100mm you might need to pick your line differently
hard as that may be.
Use grade 8 bolts to hold it on
