Bugger never thought of that but what a great idea......

Yes great product, and a nice bloke. Clancy is even on his Facebook page.

Regarding the yellow diff guards. Yes, I think it will tart up the truck a bit but more importantly draw attention to an excellent Australian made product! Just a little bit of differentiation so people will recognise them as APT.

Paul just wondering if you got stung on import duty and if so how much just out of interest....

The taxman certainly got his quota, but i cant remember how much. I think it was just GST. Will try to hunt down the paperwork.

Thanks matie much appreciated but if not a ball part figure would be ok........

I have ordered a number of accessories through the dealer for my new 110. This includes the APT steering guard, APT front diff guard and APT rear diff guard, as well as the Rijidij rear wheel carrier and Mulgo bumperettes.

Yesterday I picked up the truck, and none of these items were fitted (or available). They said Opposite Lock supply and fit these for the dealer, but have some excuse as to not being able to source them, despite having the car for over 3 weeks.

Given all the feedback on this forum, I find it strange that dedicated suppliers, i.e. APT, Rijidij and Mulgo, are all the reason for Opposite Lock to not have my car fitted, despite me ordering these parts with the dealer in January.

Hope other people have better luck.

I've dealt directly with Daniel (Mulgo) and Ben (APT). Both were up front with availability dates regarding the parts and freight where relevant. Both were very very helpful with advice regarding the products fitment and operation.

I've not dealt with Murray (Rijidij) but have met him at a LR event and chatted for a good while.

I'd regard all three of these fellas as top shelf blokes, with great experience and knowledge, and excellent demonstrated commitment to service. As such, I would also be very surprised if they were the reason for the delay in fitting out your vehicle.

If you were dealing with them direct, I am certain they'd tell you straight away what the likely timeframe would be.
