Double cab rear tub protection.
Right, Marie is away on a Netball weekend (probably come back a lesbian!) and I found myself sneaking to the dealers to look around.

My SW is out of warrenty in Jul 10 and I've got a chance to buy a tax free motor fom Germany. Probably cheaper than repairing the one I have when its out of warrenty!!

Its a chioce between an XS utility or an XS double cab as I've got two dogs and they stink! Oh...and I'm thinking White!!

I'm sure I've seen before that you can buy rubberised/grippy protective coatings for the back of pickups etc. I want to be able to:

a. Not scratch the back with the dogs.
b. Be able to just hose it out to clean it.

Any one got any experience of this sort of stuff.

Cheers

Yeah a loadliner would defiantley work, but I'd quite like to fully seal the tub.

Stuff the rear tub protection, tell us more about these lesbian netball players..... Laughing Laughing


I used "cow matting", bought from the agricultural dealers, about £40 a sheet, very thick rubber (about 20mm) but deadens the sounds well.

The only problem with white and an XS is that an XS includes metallic paint, so if you go for solid colour, they don't knock £475 off as they add it on a country or base if you want metallic. No reference to colour really, just depends if your tight like me and feel you lost something for nothing! Laughing Disco 3 gone but the memory of the bills remain...
XS 110 Utility maybe one day..... (did they fix the quality yet?)

Getting it tax free from ghetmny even with the XS spec the don't give metaic paint for free Sad cost m £350 extra.

Ian, I a looking at speedliner. It is a spray on mat like thing that is scratch resistant, and you can even eat your food off it. I am waiting on aphone call on the product to find out prices etc.

P.S. I should be heading through Farnbrough with a set of LH headlights about Fri/Sat time.

my current idea is to have a single sheet of checker plate bent from side to side, then cut a 'T' shape bulkhead piece to fit next to the cab, have this fixed to each other and droppend in in one piece. i haven't quite thought of how much tollerance i need to give to allow me to do that, but i figured i'd have to lose the small angle tight to the cab, but i'd like it so the front part is fairly water tight so when driving it didn't get soaked, oh and a lid.
