I wouldn't have thought that so important considering its hidden behind the wheel.

Some pics of the latest pole being fitted to the Prado. Unfortunately, the new pole is 5mm bigger in diameter than the old one. This means that only 265mm wide tyres can fit in this setup. The pole used is the shorter version (0.6 - 1.2m). At full extension, it is about 1.5 feet above my roof rack.

Nice.
My 95 looks to have a lot more space than your 120 but I'll measure it tonight.

Do we have a sale-able product now?

Such a tease...

Every time I see an update to this thread I get excited at the thought of having some light behind me in reverse...but like Moz said, it's just another tease.

Keep up the good work Amts, looking forward to getting one when they're ready

Its looking Great Andrew! Did you have to make any changes to the black plug on the inner tube for the curley cord?

Can't wait to get one on the Prado. Keep up the good work

Any update Andrew?

Sorry guys, this light mount is causing a few headaches. I'm currently reworking the light bracket to eeek out a few mm. I'm looking to have 275 wide tyres fit on as well as that is legal in most states.

Bigfoot,
That black plug might have to come out and maybe in its place is a rubber chair tip with the base cutout. A bit like a heatshrink layer between the inner and outer tube.

Heres a pic of my 95 with a 275 tire mounted. The gap from the casing to the door is 45mm.
The painters pole diameter is about 28mm

Andrew
Would you know what the outside diameter of the yellow extendible pole is?

cheers
Malcom

From memory, 32mm.

Hey Andrew, Any news on how this is going?

[Guest Close Guest]

I've put in the order for the spare tyre bracket so at least those who wants to space out the tyre bracket can still do so. I'm rethinking the light pole bracket. Currently it's OK for those running 265 wide tyres but not wider.
