Exterior 100 Series Bullbar

[gwadir]

Hi All,

Need some help, I've just got myself a genuine 100 series Estate (winch) bullbar for the 'cruiser having only had a nudge bar up to this point. Trouble is it hasn't got the swing out number plate cover which covers the fairlead that is suppose to come with it, previous owner had the number plate bolted on under the where the fairlead is mounted. The assembly is no longer available through Toyota. Does anyone out there have the same bar so that I could make up a set of drawings for the cover and get one made up. Alternatively does anyone know who manufactured the genuine bars here in Australia because I've found out through Toyota they didn't, they were designed and tested by Toyota but not manufactured by them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could try checking with TJM I know they use to make some of bars for the manufacture "BRANDED" ones, they use to do the Nissan ones.

'another idea is the great ring around, to any and all wreckers

small things like that they sometimes take off if the rest of the bar is Cactii and thrown out

Thanks @Bushman that's what my next move was going to be, ring them and ARB and see if they know who manufactured the originals.

Hi @gwadir, get your local dealer to try these 2 part numbers, PZQ29-60212HC, or PZQ29-60212FC, I am pretty sure one of these is what you are after, the first number if no winch is fitted to the bar, the second number if there is a winch fitted.

Cheers, Chris

I know you probably did the ring around in and a round wollongong,
I was thinking more country though - Griffith, Cobar, Broken Hill, Bourke etall

I have a few times found hard to get parts in Carnarvon & Kalgoorlie..............
(mind you, lucky the boss never know about the phone calls at lunch time..........)



as a side note - a guy I went to school with runs a business in Kiama, have to get back one day...................

That's a thought thanks for that @bigcol hadn't thought about that far afield, have been trying up the central coast, Sydney, west to Canberra, will keep looking and keep you posted.

P.S. Kiama's great, just down the road from us at Albion Park, have stayed at Surf Beach & Kendall's a couple of times just to get away, markets are great along the foreshore, folk festival's not bad either.

Hi Dave, part number PZQ29-60212FC is the superceded part number for PZQ29-60210FC, it is the only one now available for the Estate Winch Bar.
Cheers, Chris

Hi Dave, part number PZQ29-60212FC is the superceded part number for PZQ29-60210FC, it is the only one now available for the Estate Winch Bar.

Hi Chris, do you know if it's still available?

Hi Chris, Have just spoken to my local Toyota dealer, he informs me that PZQ29-60212FC is the current number and is still available, PZQ29-60210FC is the superseded number. He also said that part numbers usually increment when superseding they don't go down. Anyway good news is it's still available.

Next issue is going to be convincing SWMBO that a winch is a necessity and not a luxury, if anybody has any ideas on how I can manage that please let me know, mind control, hypnosis? Maybe I could try telling her she's looking a little bit stressed and it may be a good time to get out and do some retail therapy, at least then I might have some ammunition.

Glad to hear you've got it sorted.
As for your second issue, good luck!!
Cheers, Chris

Hey dave. Just tell her you will with hold bedroom duties until you get your winch;-)
Don't forget to let us know how you get on with that!!!! ! LOL

 

[gwadir]

What's bedroom duties?

Haven't you heard about the latest survey conducted by an English university, the most common position used by married couples in the bedroom is doggie! Husband on his knees begging, wife rolling over and playing dead
I'll keep you updated from the dog kennel

You'll find a way. My brother in law wanted a compressor, we went for a drive out bush where he got a flat tyre, his wife was so impressed with our compressor she let him get one. Miraculously, that the tyre never went flat again, I think removing the small rock from the valve stem was the fix from memory. Where there's a will there's a way.

when I wanted a winch, SWMBO reminded me of a previous Cruiser that had a winch (which we never used)

so one day, while on the sunny southern coast of WA, I drove onto the beach as she suggested, then stopped
"why are we stopping??"

well, my love, the beach is very very soft, and I dont have a winch to help get me out if it goes pear shaped...........

"why dont you get a winch then........ how much are they?????"

well, as it happens my love, I know someone who is about to replace their winch, with a bigger one - I may be able to snaffle that cheap.........

"well, you really need to set this car up for single recovery dont you....if we are going to be doing alot of single car traveling"

thank you dear, love you long time...............
