Finally got a phone call from one of the stores this afternoon, so should have one in custody tomorrow

How long was the wait Deano?

looks like a good buy Bruce, should be more with the camo material!

Got this for $3000, it came with free draws, cargo barrier & seat covers.

we also have the black widow one but downside is...

difficult to mount on the patrol rear wheel with the silly rubber strap they supplied, so we made up a canvas strap with clips, much easier.

difficult to clean the inside, the flap is a funny shape.

difficult to fold up and store when not in use.

Next time would go for the more boxy type, bushranger for example.

We are in the process of making a canvass one right at this moment! Had some canvass in the garage and some time on our hands so here goes. The "construction" has the wheel shaped thingo at the top and a strap will run from that around the tyre to ensure it is held down. The bag is stitched to that. It is 60cm wide, 52 cm deep and 21cm width. Is perhaps a little bit wide but what the heck will hold lots of things - empty cans and alike... Further straps to secure will be attached as the production continues.
Will post photos as soon as I can work it out...techno challenged plus!

what are you going to line it with to stop all the fluids soaking into it making it smell like a labourers armpit in summer?

Heavy, Heavy duty plastic bag inside (just happen to have one in the garage)...then garbage into own plastic bags. Will also give it a coat of water proofing agent that we have used on caravan annex in the past (ditched the van for a camper!). Then we'll see how it goes.
