G'day all, this is my first thread and I'm starting with a doozie. HELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPP !!!!! I have just forked out some pretty big bucks for a second hand 07 Diesel Prado and was in the process of arranging to have a 9000lb Warn winch fitted in behind the factory alloy bullbar. After contacting Toyota in both Australia and Japan, the dealership has been told that the winch fitting kit is no longer available for that model. About a thousand phone calls later, I can still find nobody that does an after market fitting kit. Some thing to do with air bag compliance and engineers not wanting to be sued by my wife when I crash and the air bags fail to deploy. The Prado is a pretty popular model with a good off road capability, I was hoping that someone else on this site has come across this problem previously, and more importantly... come across a solution to it. Replacing the whole bullbar is not an option as the purchase of the car has left me nothing in the kitty. Once again... HELP! I am desperate and I am running out of excuses for the Minister for War and Finance (AKA wife) as to why I spent all that money on a vehicle which won't do what it was purchased to do.
