Ah ha, thanks D4D for that much appreciated. I presumed it was some thing like that but wasn't sure. It wont take much for the guys at work to make some thing up. I will print up your picture so they can see what's required. Thanks heaps for that......Cheers Steve

Actually looking at the picture I might just get some thing made up just to go directly into where the tied down bolt goes, may be some thing like this I come across.... [IMG][/IMG] Either way wont be difficult.... Cheers Steve

Challenge with that is the tie down point needs to come out, not a problem if you have drawers, and you'll have to cut the carpet away.

Yeah I have a draw and fridge slide that goes in but I see your point. Maybe just the extension part would be fine.......Cheers Steve

Sorry i didn't get back to you steve, But i see D4D sorted you out. I'm missing the plastic covers that go over the nuts so you can undo them by hand i'm guessing so i will go back to them tommorow see if they can order me some. I'm very happy with the barrier though, first car i've been in where the barrier doesn't rattle!.
Cheers

I didn't get those, I did them up pretty tight...

No probs mate. I was playing around with mine today. I've decided to make up a new draw system will be easier then to modify the ones I have. But Im going to have the base of the draws which has the draw plus the fridge slide bolted to it so Im going to bolt the base of the barrier to it. I figure if I have to pull the draws out to carry a load or pick some thing up using the prado then I figure the barrier will need to come out anyway. I do have some of the old fitting kit left over from one of my 90's and I have those grey handled nuts so I can use them on the bottom and I may modify the brackets that bolt up to the grab handles and remove the welded thread thats on there and replace with a welded nut on the back then I can use the grey handled nuts (what ever you want to call them) on the top ones as well. Will make it a lot quicker to remove the barrier if I need to...I use the tie down points anyway to hold the draw and slide in place. Always some thing to do lol....Cheers Steve

Hi Azzss, Im not sure you get them with this brand of barrier as they call them a tradesman barrier so they probably presume you will never remove it on a regular basis, also the grey handles have the thread on them not the nut....Cheers Steve pic below of the parts I intend using.. [IMG][/IMG]

Ah, that's right... I remember commenting on the 'draws with no barrier'

Sorry, no barrier (as yet) but like others, I will most likely be going for the AutoSafe brand due to it's ease of removal..

I use the Outback Interiors half barrier along with their draw system. Very easy to remove just big thumb nuts like in Steve M pic, No rattles yet and the car spends a bit of time on Pilbara gravel roads. Would recomend it to anyone. The Toyota barrier in the missis Prado is allways coming lose real pnta as need a shifter to tighten.
