What did you do to your Patrol today!

[big_fletch]

Yeh I went down this track awhile ago as well for my 2 kids; options that I found were - install a crab bar (approximately $500!), make a custom draw set up that finished before the anchor points or buy a black widow / outback 4wd draw system with ADR approved child restraints that have been fully incorporated and design / tested etc.

I was advised at the time that you couldn't just install mounting points on top of a home made draw system and tick all the legal boxes, but let us know how you go.

Well basically your spot on, made a few calls and cant move or adjust anchor points. No chance of getting them put ontop of rear drawers either, no matter how good i make them.
Cant use a extension strap either as anchor point is still under the drawer system.
As for the C.R.A.B bar, thats another option which prices have dropped on, but still $380.
Being my drawer system is too high and i cant even fit a pram properly into the back i have too modify it anyway so i will probably make a new set with access too the child anchor points. The extra gap between seats and drawer system i will add a water tank and fill it with something else.
Then finish it off with a cargo barrier

just cut a 4'' hole in the bottom for the strap it will come about 4/5'' above the water tank that I have in

Bloody rear brake calipers are leaking. I rebuilt them about 2 years ago using aftermarket parts, but recently found some brake fluid dripping on the inside of one of the rear tyres. Being cast iron, they were in poor shape before I rebuilt them, so not risking trying to fix them I purchased new calipers. They are aftermarket but I'll swap the genuine sliders into them as I only just put new sliders and bolts in about 3 months ago. Bloody money pits.

Look at the motor and said my good byes to it.
Had confirmation today the injector pump had shat itself. I was concerned the new injectors caused this, or something. I was told no, it was purely conicendence and it was going to happen regardless.

Nice. Something I might have to consider one day..will be following your progress

[mudski]

Well yes. But its either fork out the coin for a new IP, around 4K. Or just take the plunge. Its going to really hit the pocket with this, hard. But I got the o.k from the boss so who am I to say no.
Hows this monster park out front of the workshop my car's going too.... A copper owns it and wants to road reg it. Lol. He reckon he can get it engineered. Prolly a dodgy engineer cert though.... The mechanic reckons it would cost around 12k to get this engineered and pass.
BTW BA, I spoke with Mark about getting an engineers for yours. Might be best if you ring him. He said its kinda a grey area..... Thats all he said. Then he point to this blue beast....
