Milford Cargo Barrier Installation

[Mass Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Mass]

Hey all, I have just purchased a Milford Full Cargo Barrier 2nd hand in near new condition for my 90 series. I am puzzled how to install it. Does anyone have the PDF for the installation? It would be much appreciated. Or any photos or explanations would be a great help also. Ta, Mass.

They are easy to install, you need to get the measurements right though, I have done a few of them for my mate (he owns a 4wd accessory shop), only takes about 30-40 mins to do, just make sure that when you drill the holes you repaint the exposed metal.
Have you done a search on the web for the directions, if not, try it first, if no success, then contact Milford, they may send you the directions, another way you could try to get the instructions is to ring some 4wd accessory shops, and see if they still have the directions.

Hey Mass,

You can speak to the guys at Willshire Motor Trimmers 8292 2500. They're on South Rd at Marleston and are Milford specialists. As it is 2nd hand you will probably need to get the fitting kit

Thats right, I doubt very much the previous owner would want holes left in the floor there the barrier attached. Might have the installation instructions in the fitting kit.

Did you find out how to fit your cargo barrier? I have just got one off ebay, but have since found out that its only for a 96 - 99 prado, as apparently they changed from 99 onwards. The 96 - 99 model barrier apparently just bolted into some type of grab handles, but this is supposed to be different on the 99 onwards ones. Can anyone elaborate, as i am still hopeful that i can use this cargo barrier. I contacted milford who told me they dont have a install kit for it as different models, but thought someone here might know another way.

Thanks

Or alternatively, and probably even better, if anyone is able to post a pic or two of where a cargo barrier is fixed on a 2001 prado that woudl be magnificant!

Just trying to revive this thread,

cant really find anything useful after hours of trawling the web,

can someone post a pic of the way their cargo barrier is mounted.

Thanks so much guys.

Gday Matthew mine has rear air and apparently are harder to fit to. I have mounted mine to the rear grab handles and the tiedown points behind the second row seats. I have also anchored mine to the back of the storage unit and all in all is very solid and would take a fairly big hit to move it. I can take pics if its of any interest to you. Let me know.

Cheers Steve

Forgot to say I did have to change the top mounts as they needed to be much longer and luckily I have another barrier and various milford brackets I have accumulated over the years that I could use bits of.

Thanks heaps mate.

The cargo barrier had the long bracket on the bottom and short arm on top, making it sit to far back.

Thats what you get when you buy second hand.

Thanks again mate,

No worries mate I did swap and change my brackets a bit but they are all milford bits.
