If this si less than the height they state then I think your argument is won. If it is what they state then it will come down to the fact that all vehicles have an overhang so ANY angle change will cause a change to the height of EVERY vehicle and so you would be arguing there allowance for this is inadequate. They will just argue though they are only stating the clearance at location and cant be required to know every vehicles overhang and what there effective height will be. In this argument I would be giving you 60% and them 40% likelihood of winning

Years ago I reverse parked my Rocky and collected blasted fire extinguisher plumbing jutting out from the wall.

if the do straiten up the bent bits it will become very weak as ally does not like to bend of flex too much, I think $300 is a fair price but just tell them you would like some extra plating under the rack mounts welded in, if it's an extra $50 then so be it.

New things since last post;
Suspension - had the rear springs replaced by ironman after the knock returned. Nothing they did stopped it returning, so they pulled em out and replaced them with a new set. Done about 7500 on them so far and nil issues.

I have been on this site for a while now but have been very inactive of late, the last few years haven't been good for me.
My trusty Ml hasn't been used much in the last few years being a manual, so I'm in the process of looking for a new ute (auto this time!!I had to have a rebuild on my clutch foot )
What I'm thinking of doing is just what you have, get rid of the body and put a tray on....now we are on some land this will be useful for me. But, not so good when you are traveling.
The main thing I was interested in was how you now feel having the pod on the back???
To me the concept of being able to remove it when not needed is great.
I have heaps of questions for you, but won't fire them at you all at once.
To me the way you have gone is value for money, do you still see it that way??
Thanks for the write up, it was very valuable to me.
Cheers Johno
