Hi all,
I've got a 150 series Prado (first gen, not the facelift model) and am doing some research on rear bars for it.
The problem is they (pretty obviously) weigh a figurative tonne, and will take me over my GVM limit when loaded for a trip.
All I really want the rear bar for is protection if/when dropping the rear down in a rut, scraping on departure angles etc. Don't need spare wheel carries, jerry can holders, or any of that.
I've seen a few pictures of these kinds of things from blokes in the states with Lexus GX's, which in my understanding is exactly the same vehicle.
This seems like it would be ample for me, and probably 50kg+ less than the stonking great square bars that the usual names sell here.
After much searching, I can't find anything remotely similar here though.
Does anyone know of such a thing being offered here in Aus?
I was surprised to not be able to find anything at all that was similar. Has me wondering now if these are not legal under our road rules or something?
