So here goes.Mine is a 2010 plate charcoal SR5. I ordered it in early Dec 2009 around the time of the tax cut. There was a 3 month waiting list, so I only manged to pick it up in Feb 2010.
Heres some photos of it all brand new and shiny looking
She got a lil dirty on the way home
So this is how she looked 8 months on:
These were the mods at that point in time:
ARB Deluxe bullbar (colour coded)
IPF 900XS spotlights
Midnight Express tint on the front windows
Safari snorkel
Alphaline Auto tonneau cover
The tonneau I found to be very good, as it doesnt have the dicky looking elastics on the sides and involves no drilling whatsoever. It also fits the sports bar perfectly
It cost me a little under 400 bucks, which I found to be very reasonable. It took about 90 mins to install but it would have been much easier if I had another set of hands. The hardest part was taking the sports bar off.
She looks naked
The extender plates go on the outside of the sports bar plate then you have to squeeze the bar so that it goes on the inside of the 4 plates. Can be a little tricky. Make sure you put some towels or sheets on the side of the tube so you dont scratch it
Once the bars done lay the 4 side rails down and clip them together with the corner joiners. Attach the rails to the edges of the tub using the clamps provided, and put in the 2 cross bars.
Then clip the tonneau and shes all done. Heres something I prepared earlier
Note the rollbar sits just over an inch higher, but IMHO it looks so much better now and flows with the line of the body.
Heres a lil something I picked up on ebay
