Cheers mate ill try that

Just had an idea. Im thinking magnets. If I can get some really strong magnets, put two or so of them under the metal backing and put the opposites in the bottom of the toolbox, the magnets should be able to penetrate through the plastic tubliner and still have a strong attraction to eachother. Ill let you know how I go. any critism is welcome. Jet

Yeah, I already have some slip proof rubber I brought from clark rubbey last week, it works but I dont think that will do the job alone. I tried tiedowns from the handles of the toolbox to the tie down points (this is along the backside near the tailgate). It stops 80% of movement, but it still moves a bit. When I tighten the tiedowns to stop the movement it lifts the toolbox up so my toolbox hits against the hardlid as the toolbox's handles are lower than the tie down points, which are right at the top of the tubliner (seems a stupid place to put them) I dont know, anyone tried rivets or something similar?

Hi Guys, Just sold my Turbo sedan and now have a 05 XR8 ute, mainly for work purposes. I brought a big toolbox that goes accross the back of my ute right near the tailgate for easy access. It sits about 10mm under my hard lid. Anyway I was looking at the tub floor and it appears that there is no metal backing under the rather thin plastic tray. I was going to bolt it down but dont think it will be strong enough to hold the weight of the box and stop it slipping around. I also need to do this so I can remove the toolbox every so often for holidays etc. This is why I was thinking bolts as they are easily undone. Any help would be appreciated. Rgds, Jet.

Yeah, dont no how you can give this cooler a bad report ? I run 330rwkw with standard plumbing and have had no issues AT ALL. I also had it installed in the VIC summer which saw 35+ degree days .... NO heatsoak to report I would say if plumbing was changed this cooler would be good for 380rwkw. Best bang for your buck cooler, and comes heavily recommended by ALOT of ppl Jet

Doesnt look too bad..... Although this is just another more expensive sports sadan that I will be hunting down & destroying ..... lastest casualty - VE GTS box It hurts me to embarrass these guys, especially when there wives are in the passenger seat Im guessing it will be in the same pricing bractet as the F6, perhaps a tad under. Jet.

very achieveable Im in the 1st stages of doing something similar! Jet

Not necessary unless you are aiming higher than 340 - 350 rwkw with a good tune. I have run stock pistons with 343 rwkw and no problems, they only started to suffer after I pushed it to 360 rwkw, and then not even dramatically, just have a broken ring land or piston ring, but obviously need to be fixed. ← Agreed, but allot of the time people wouldnt bother changing the rods unless they were going 340rwkw +, if your not planning to go over this power level the standard rods will not need to be replaced.

While its out you might aswell go a set of forgies aswell Jet

Yeah, fitment in vic... Should be pretty easy to do yourself, if you have done that kind of thing in the past. Jet
