You are going to enjoy it, plenty of road trips to be done here in Aussie

It looks like a Frontline conversion

 

[madmax800]

sure is.
my first thing is to improve headlights.
could hardly see a thing driving it home

I'm lucky i'm in Brisbane CBD, so the street lighting is good and i don't tend to drive much at night.

I put new bulbs in, it made a small difference, but not as much as i was hoping.

I swear a candle would do a better job than the factory units.

I'll most likely put on a one of those AR40 ARB Combo lightbars on a ECB nudge bar, when i head off for my lap around Aus.

Hello from sunny Australia. I need some help from my UK brothers please.

I need to fit some 'rated' Recovery Points to my van as I do some beach driving but want to venture further. I have only the standard recovery points (screw in front bumper and rear hook) which I fear will not withstand the pressure of a serious recovery by snatch strap or similar. We only have them in Oz for Amarok but nothing for a T6 2018 4 Motion.

Hope someone can help me please. Cheers Roger

For the rear, I would just fit a standard towbar and add a couple of nice swivel loops to the back face either side and drill large enough holes on the bumper cover to fit over them.
For the front, I would weld a pair of large loops to the subframe and use a webbing bridle that you can loop over your roobar.

I have seen some nice demountable swivels on a jeep wrangler that you could use on the rear these will probably look quite neat.

Gday two heads. I'm from up north in boags country. Have you still got your t6? I get down to st helens a bit from the mainland. See you around one day.

Still here.
I don't get to St Helens often, you're more likely to find me in the south or southwest.

Hello! My name's Leon. I was born and raised in Adelaide but earlier this year had to move to Asia for work. Waiting for me at my garage at home is a 2018 Volkswagen Transporter TDI450 T6 LWB.

Hi there, I just picked up my T6 4motion SWB Transporter yesterday and have been umming and ahhing over racks. Looking at Frontrunner, Rhino (just like yours) or a Tradesman rack.

Was really stoked to see yours. Do you have more photos you could share?

What size platform is it also?

Cheers for the help in advance.

[TassieT6]

Will get back to you.

 

[TassieT6]

It is a 2728mm x 1465mm Pioneer platform on 4 mounts (cross bars) attached to factory VW roof rails. I also have a front and side rail fitted to slow things sliding forward.

 

[wojo]

Fantastic, much appreciated. I think I shall do the same.
