Michael's Kakadu 150

[craigm]

Is it just the angle of the Pic or is the ARB Protection plate not mounted flush with the Bullbar stone guard. From this angle it looks like an unusual fitup with the gap considering they're both ARB products fitted up at the same time?

Looking Good Michael, go the V6 kaka.

Mick thanks for the recovery point info. Just what I was lookin for.

Michael

Thankyou.
I want to get recovery points for my Altitude with ARB Bar & was unsure if they were compatible.

I presume you do not have to drill holes to fit them???

Where do you buy Outback Ideas stuff?

Hi Disco4

I got ARB to supply and fit the Outback Ideas recovery points. I notice that the side panels under the bar slot nicely in the gap in them...looks like it was all designed that way.

Not sure about the holes bit as they were fitted by ARB.

ARB don't yet have their own recovery points as you would have seen in other threads, but will probably do so as their other development work for the patrols and bt50/ranger work progresses.

HTH, Michael

Paul...I note that as you said the rear transfer case protection doesn't offer protection to the transfer black box, so in all likelihood I'll replace this with your plate.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers Michael

No worries, get my number of Daniel if you want or just PM me when you're ready. I've got about 5 left at this stage from the first run if you're keen.

Outback Ideas Recovery Points







Relocated front camera. The guys made a custom camera mount made of 3mm high grade steel...it won't move or vibrate on any roads. Also extended the cable to the camera.

Thanks Paul...more updates below.

Well the bar work, under body protection and recovery points is all done and I'm really happy with the result. They team at ARB Coopers Plains did an excellent job and Tony and Mark were superb to deal with.

Things that were done were :
- ARB Deluxe Winch Combination Bar colour coded in Crystal Pearl
- ARB KDSS Under Body Protection
- Outback Ideas Recovery Points
- Front camera relocated to bar

The camera relocation in my opinion is required, as they did a test with the camera with the bar on (and note no spotlights or winch box) and there was very little to be seen.

On with the photos.

Nice going Michael, good to see them start evolving.

Looks great Michael looking forward to seeing it with the bar on.

Will pop up some photos late next week. I'll be literally picking the Prado up on Tuesday arvo after the work is finished then heading off to the airport to catch a plane for work for a couple of days. I'll hardly even have a chance to check it out myself.

Its as if the initial purchase of the truck becomes the cheap bit, the accessories end up costing as much. Its all fun though, and as the saying goes, You cant take it with you when you go.

Yeah...there's a good and steady demand for accessories and I guess places like PradoPoint continue to help spread the word and share information about what different people are putting on. Definitely fun to do and watch progress...it's like watching your kids grow.

Well guys I thought I should put my latest mod up I got done today.

Went up to TJM Brendale and got treated to first class service by Darren, Dwayne and Justin...a top bunch of guys. Got an Airtec snorkel fitted. I love the look of it and it is super quiet on the highway.

Some pics...








On Tuesday will be getting the colour coded ARB Deluxe Winch Bar, ARB Under Vehicle Protection and Outback Ideas Recovery Points...

Cheers
Michael
