Spider in the 4WD

I should of also said, You can use the Web to get help. :-)))))

I had picked up one of those arachnoid's on my last trip, I felt it was more scared of me than I was of it. I was surprised how quick it could go over slick surfaces.
My biggest concern was to keep it out of the bags that I was bringing home.
We have enough of imported pests here anyway.( Possums and the others )
Last time I saw it, it was scurrying under the back and up into the chassis rails some where. With the Troopy sitting up on the jack stands for the summer it hopefully might run out of tucker and find somewhere else to live.
The last thing I would want to see is it turning up here.

That happened to me but without the accident. Nothing like a 3" spider dropping in your lap in the dark to scare the crap out of you that's for sure. Mike

Hi Toyo

We had 3 cars to play with yesterday on my tracks , a newish Navara 2.5 diesel , a 2003 Prado diesel and an FJ40 diesel which unbelivably had been converted to 100% gas - however I will take your advice and tell that story another time.

As for the spider , I'd get rid of it fast , and the way I did it in my car was to get a quality can of surface spray and spray not only on the obvious places
but up in side the guards where secondary panels creat voids.

We had one that took a long time to get and eventually found that it lived
between the Radiator and the aircon condenser in the front of the car.

It lived in a near perfect place, low down avioding the radiators main heat and living well off insects that hit front of radiator.

Hi Robin.No offence meant from my comment above and said with tongue firmly in cheek.LoL. I will be interested to hear that story. Although I am the owner of a 120 series Prado I must admit I saw one a couple of years ago that seemed to go over much easier than it should have.I came along a few minutes after it happened. It was at traffic lights and the lady driver clipped the raised median strip as she turned right through the lights. I don't know what speed she was doing so that may have contributed but on it's side is was when I arrived. Regards,Bob.

Brilliant!!!!!
