Gee you blokes, been keeping an eye on this thread, when I saw there has been some activity, I thought, Woo... Hoo! There here!.. You got me!.. Seems we are all a very patient bunch.. Think there should be a prize of some sort, for the first one to post, that he is holding, in his hot little hand a "backbone"... Not long to wait now.. We hope.. Cheers Odog
Hi fellas, well, I got a call at 10:37am today... And called into pride auto at 2:00pm.. I got them! Woo... Hoo!
Hey didn't someone say there is a prize for who ever gets theirs first... I'm sure I read that somewhere... What have I won.. Lol
Hope you all get yours sooner than later.. Cheers boys.. Odog

OOh wow finally! what a ridiculous wait its been! post some pictures,

Hi trsmith, thanks for the photos, spent the day changing a couple of spare tyres around, thought I'd give the prado a good clean and polish, before fitting the rack.. Ran out of time, and got arm pump from polishing.. Lol.. Going to fit it tomorrow.. What problems made it a pain to fit? Just a heads up if you can.. Cheers Odog

Its a serious and exhausting job waxing these cars. I waxed mine 2 weeks ago so figured it will do. Though i did wax under the stock roof rails once i removed them.
When you fit the Backbone, the first bit of tightening the screws is ok. But once you need to really get them tight the angle of the backbone gets in the way of the allen key.
see this PHOTO
Yea but that's only for the start. Once you tighten it the backbone pulls in and the angle changes, then the Allen key won't fit from the top,
A bit of a strange design.
