How Lucky am I

Same to you Signman, have a safe one to all your family. regards Steve

Hi Doug, yes Im going to go to ARB/TJM and see what they say in regards to the weight. That is my main concern is the extra weight hanging over the front end of the prado. Was told the steel ones are extremely heavy on the front of the prado springs. I had the OME fitted all round a while ago but Im sure the front springs will need to be upgraded to heavier ones if I fit a steel bar. I really dont want to add to the expense of fitting new front springs again to suit a steel bar. Should have thought of that prior to getting the springs done. I will see what they say anyway and if its going to require new springs then I will settle for an alloy one. I had steel on the old lux and yes they take a lot more of a beating then an alloy thats for sure. Use to use it as a plough half the time. It also had a steel rear step bar which was great but not available for the prado. Would probably look out of place anyway on the prado. I cant get brush bars either for the prado like I could for the hilux no one makes them for the prado.Yes its got dual airbags so needs to be airbag compatible. All the best. regards Steve M

You have to work out the difference in the weight which probably would not be all that much, If you already have OME front coils then I feel there should be no drama's, and even if you did replace the coils , what's the cost of replacing a ruined bullbar over a pair of coils, ...your call, ..

Thanks for that. I believe she got the radio from Action Communicatins at Kingswood but not sure will have to ask her. Thanks for the tip. Regards Steve

LOL Lucy, funny you say that after I had opened it all I said to her OK what going on, what do you want, what's happened to the car, she just looked at me with those puppy dog eyes and said nothing just that she loves me. Mmmm Now while I love my wife I'm going to be a bit wary till xmas day cause I'm sure there is more to it and is just softening me up but will have to wait and see. Definitely not pregnant, me thinking another animal god I hope not rotty just cost us $1300 this week for an operation.All the best to you and your family and safe travelling. Regards Steve

Forgot to mention but Im sure that pretend $1000 voucher is going to be coming out of my bank account LOL

'Rotty just cost us $1300'

Think yourselves lucky, I just picked our female Hungarian Vizala up from the VET $1600 lighter in the pocket.

Had to operate, to locate and identify, then remove a bowel obstruction.

It was a piece of the centre of a corn cob that she 'hoovered down' stuck fast in the duadendum.

As Laura ASsley said

"money is like manure, its made to spread around."

"Hungarian Vizala" swear at me like that LOL. Have never heard of that breed sounds like it eats the way the rottie does, doesnt chew the food sniffs it down like a vacuum cleaner then chokes on it then coughs it back up and has another go. Hope your dear friend is all good. There like one of the family. Hope she recovers alright. Regards Steve M

Sorry Stephen, not Footy.

Just reading Footloose's post and got the two mixed up.

Any way the deal still stands.....hehehe.
