SOLD. I no longer have for sale (🤣) an FB and EK front guard both in poor, but salvagable condition and an EK bonnet ( Project 2's) which is pretty straight and ok except for rust in both the adjusting bolt mounting blocks, which I started to undo but moved on to a better bonnet (Wilma's) before ...

Covid +ve for the last 7 days. Better off without him I'm thinking.

Barney is feeling cold and old. Oh, that's me.

For collapsible setup with the mandatory 127mm length of çollapsible column and space for the breakaway fittings, it makes it impossible ( for me ...

Yes. The concept is sound, but the logistics don't work. A pic of what causes the problem.

I have spent a fruitless few days attempting to add a Prius electric steering unit to the ute. The unit itself attaches fairly easily to the standard steering box. However, once on, there is 75mm or so of the input shaft and housing entering the cab through the firewall hole. The problem with this ...
