Defender Cargo Barrier

**Ranga** · 10th August 2009, 09:52 PM

The cheapest in Australia I can find are the Black Widow half height for around $420 ($480 fitted), and the Milford for around $548.

I did a bit of research, and I found these barriers:
Mail Order 4x4 GENUINE Landrover DEFENDER Special Offers

I got a reply saying they ship to Australia, but no pricing on shipping yet.

Given the current exchange rate the buy price for the half height is about $150, and the full height is about $168. It all depends on shipping costs now, but I reckon it should still end up a fair bit cheaper than the local products.

Also, the prices on snorkels seem good. Mail Order 4x4 Snorkels. I just can't decide which one I should go for.

Will do - however, I've just received a PM offering me one. I will probably come around anyway if that's OK...

I called into the Milford factory on the way to work today and asked how they were going with the development of a cargo barrier to fit the 07+ model Defenders. They had told me in March this year that it should be ready in July.
Apparently it has been developed and is currently in pre production trials. I was told that stock would be available on the 28th August.
I'll go back at the end of the month, get one fitted and put some photos up.

Cheers
Mark

Although correct me if I'm wrong, if you remove the seat clip plastic surround (not too sure why it is there anyway) and offset the base of the carrier by 60mm towards the rear of the vehicle (i.e. so that the Milford barrier base sits up against the seat clips), making Milfords installation measurement 930mm, instead of 990mm seems to be ok. I checked under the vehicle and the hole position seems fine too.

The top mount would remain in the same location... need to check again.

With the sloped wheel arch I can't see the issue, except for a bit of a gap??

I had OL try to fit a pre 07 Milford to mine back in October 2007. It won't work, at least not with the Outback drawers in too.
