Hi
Went to the 4x4 show in Melbourne today and they had a rear bar fitted to the 120 Prado.Its a real neat unit.There are 3 options with the bar.Single wheel only,dual wheel or single wheel and twin jerry can holder.It also comes with a tow bar so dont get a factory or after market tow bar fitted if you plan on getting a rear bar(it already has one factored in).
Compared to the opp lock or strong arm rear bar it does not look as bulky not does it cut into the left or right guards on the sides.The example shown to me was dual wheels and it required no effort to open for it runs on some sort of ball bearing setup.
The arms can also be removed so you are just left with a steel bar for when you are just doing city driving and when you go bush you just fit the swing out arms and attach your wheels or jerry can holder back to the arms.
The bar will not be released untill January 2008 but they are taking orders.the price was about $3200 - $3400 depending on what set up you go.
One other thing.You can adjust the arm so that it can take different tyre and wheel sizes,so you dont need spacers.There is also a bracket set up to take a rear work light.(thats 2 things).
Regards Rob
