    Yeah was definitely Gregs in Regency Park. Maybe I'll have to go see him again and ask what happened last time.

      Thanks Hutch.
      It's nice to be able to escape for an hour or two and work on the car.

        Nice drawer set up Gramps.

        Just wondering, what was the issue with carpeting last time?

          I used a Dunlop rubber based glue which let go during summer. This time I'm going to use a spray adhesive.

          Sometimes I love this forum. I have a piece of ply that is carpeted and left over from the last car that I used as a false floor to support the weight of the old drawer. Because I never throw anything out, it's been in the shed taking up room until a purpose is found. Well I saw a thread on a tailgate table which will be perfect. So minimal purchases are required, and I will make room in the shed.

          I won't get to it this weekend as my son has a u/12 STIC (State Talent Identification Championship) soccer tournament. Three days of the BEAUTIFUL game with the chance of training and playing in an elite squad for those that are selected.

          I might have to take a 'mental health' day next week to complete this mod. Where do you find a doctor that will write a certificate to cover for working on the car???

              Gramps - two things.

              1) Is that a Tekonsha Voyager brake controller? I have one that I need to install but not sure where to put it. I thought about the spot yours is in but was concerned about it hitting my knee/leg all the time. Are you finding this to be a problem?

              2) Despite what people say, you don't need to widen the inner hole near the radiator. As has been discussed previously on this forum, doing up that top bolt crushes the radiator member. It just so happens that the outer hole is M12 and the inner M10. All you need to do is slide a crush tube in there, like the tube of an M12 Dyno bolt, and use a M10 HT bolt in the top hole, and an M12 in the lower hole. The crush tube stops the member from crushing in, and also saves you drilling near the radiator. I've done this and no problems whatsoever.

                I don't think that goig down to an M10 bolt is a good idea, drill it and use the recommended bolts

                  Not sure what brand it is as it was on when I bought the car. I won't see the Prado until the weekend, so I'll let you know then. No probs with the placement and hitting my knees in the Prado. I had one in the Xtrail in the same spot and didn't hit it too often. It came down to seat positioning with that car.

                    The difference in strength / sheer capacity between a high tensile M10 and M12 is no where near as big as you might think. Crushing the vertical radiator member by using a straight out m12 is a bigger concern, and when you consider people snatch from tie down points regularly, I'm pretty sure an M10 upper bolt and lower M12 with after market recovery points is 1000% better already.

                      Recovery points are now on and ready for action. I ended up drilling through the chassis and using the provided bolts.

                      Yesterday the Bilsteins arrived, yay. They look ever so good sitting next to the Dobinsons springs. Now to get them installed.

                        Glad you used the 12mm bolt, looking forward to seeing her lifted.

                          I'd better get the camera out this afternoon for some before shots. Lift goes in tomorrow and no questions asked from the other half.
                          I'll get some measurements of before and after to post along with the photos. Is measuring from the middle of the center cap to wheelarch preferred or from the bottom of the rim to wheelarch??

                              Cool, I'll measure it first thing tomorrow morning.

                                Yeah baby! We are now that little further away from Terra Firma.
                                Lift installed today, and I could tell the difference straight away. The ride was a bit firmer and cornered flatter.
                                The wife only noticed the difference when getting out of the car, she slid down because the ground wasn't where she expected it to be. I had a bit of a chuckle, got a slap on the arm and told we just need a bulldog on the bonnet (Mack truck). Like F#%K........
