Out of interest how much as my rear bumper is almost beyond repair and it may be more economical to replace? How long you staying in Tassie we came back last week, could've stayed another two months

Insurance is paying just under 2k for bumper and side step so from memory bumper is probably around 1500 fitted.

now regarding the paint quality, newer cars have much thinner paint compared to older ones because of cost. it sucks really :/[B]CANYONEROOOOO *whipping in the distance*

Fitted the towpro in anticipation of the camper arriving Ne t weekend. Also ordered some new rubber for the Prado and my trailer. The Pirelli Scorpians in 275/65 17 are about half worn and will go to a good home. The camper is fitted with 265/70 17s and I took this opportunity to grab some new KO2s in that size all round.
I still have to run 12V to an Anderson plug on the towbar but I don't know which side yet. I also want to fit an Anderson plug direct to the auxiliary battery in the rear so that will get done at the same time. Auxiliary auto cooler and winch still on the list but the former will happen before we go away at Christmas and then I need to plumb the compressor to an outlet on the bullbar and fir a manifold block for the rear locker solenoid.
Going to be a little busy in coming weeks.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic
