Thread: CRAB bar in a Defender

Hi all,

I know this has been mentioned in another topic but thought I would also ask the good folk her in Deefer section if anyone has installed or knows of a place in Melbourne that installs CRAB bars. I have called (Vehiquip, AVA, OL, Kids in Cars & Tradesman Vehicle accessories) and none of them make or install them. I know people have done there own anchorage points but not willing to risk safety and a run in with the law and insurance company on the matter. I know there is a mob in sydney that does it (i think in Minto) which I am awaiting their reply.

Is there anyone here that travels with kids in a Deefer and how are your kids with the ride ?

Thanks for your help

I'd also suggest the registered restraint installer in Belgrave listed on the RACV/VICROADS site. They are able to install the restraints into the floor, which saves having that bar in the back. (total was around $250 for three points). I've had this done in each of the three defenders I've owned. The kids love the Defender.

(P.S if you don't want the restraint points fitted then looks for foam boosters they don't need restraint points. )
