That may be the case with earlier models. FG's have no actual tub to speak of, if you took the plastic lining out you would be looking at the diff and fuel tank through a few rails.

When I first got the ute I wanted to fit some floor-mounted tie down points but there was no tub to weld/bolt to; had to drill through a couple of the (puny) members and use a backing plate to bolt on the stainless lugs I welded up. Carrying around say a gas bottle or heavy bit of round bar the side fitted lugs are good as useless. Handy they are adjustable though.

I have a 98rwkw tune automatically when it rains. At least forward momentum would indicate as much.

Mine seems to do it in the same spot up in the hills on the way home every evening if it's been raining. Just after I turn off of the highway. It's uncanny! I blame the cheap tyres.
