Must say, I bloody love having a ute!

Pictured here is 13 x 42l flexible tubs from bunnings. The square kind. They perfectly fit the tub, which I can then have half a cubic meter of soil dumped into at the landscaping shop. Saves a lot of effort with the wheelbarrow!!

Looks like you need some sort of tub liner protection in there asap....

You're not wrong! Sitting in the shed is a spray on Raptor liner kit. Just been so flat out that I haven't done anything about it yet

Its pretty good stuff did the patrol last week and so far very happy, i would suggest lay it on thick on the tub👍

This water tank looks interesting too

One thing to keep in mind regarding water tanks in poly is that tank i saw in your supplied link is whats called "natural" colour for the polyethylene, if the tank is going to be subject to any sunlight i would not get that particular colour otherwise you will end up with pond water. Go for black then your water will stay crystal clear.
Im really quiet surprised that a poly manufacturer is advertising any water tank in natural.

Yep it was $1450 installed at my local ARB. Now bit of a back story to that price though.....

I initially paid something like $1720. Then I saw on a facebook group people saying they had theirs installed for $1450. I got quotes from 2 other ARBs not too far away which were $1450 also. I spoke to ARB head office and they told me there's actually a RRP pricelist on the website which includes parts + labour, that does have some minor changes based on postcode. I checked the price list and again it was $1450.

So then head office said that the ARB I went to was technically an ARB re-seller, not an official ARB store. Apparently the resellers can charge different prices.
Well I kicked up a stink about that because there is no way to tell it's an ARB re-seller, especially considering the bloody 40 ft sign out the front that say "ARB". And that they are listed as "ARB xyz-suburb", and the fact that they don't sell anything other than ARB gear!!! It is no different to any other ARB mega-store I've ever stepped into. Ridiculous.

I gave the store a fair go, spoke to them and said that they must have "accidentally" charged me more than the other two nearby ARB stores. They apologised and refunded me the difference...
At $1450 I'm happy with the price, especially considering the roof lining needs to be dropped so they can properly bolt the backbone rails on. As I said, rhino is just pop-riveted from the outside only.

Moral of the story is double check the price list on the ARB website first. Other than that, I was happy with the service and very happy with the product

That would put me off dealing with them again 🙄
