Has any one seen or have a platform that attaches to the rear of a vehicle. Ive got a nissan terrano and i want to get something made so that when spot lighting you can stand on the rear of the truck.

Why am I reminded of the platform one attached via the 3 point linkage to the back of the Fergie tractors?
Haha, first thing I thought of too!Quote:

You'd have to sorta build a rear bumper then make your platform say plug in like a couple of tow bar receivers maybe. If your tow bar is strong enough maybe weld one receiver each side then box section and plywood platform Keeping in mind you want the back door shut so it doesn't smash into you I reckon that would be worth investigation ?? When you want it plug it in and you re. away !
I think its illegal or a grey area at least to shoot from a vehicle.Quote:

You could plug into the hi lift jack points, my dad has made a similar rack for loading my mothers wheelchair that weighs 120 kgs, will see if i can find some pics.
Something I have thought about too. Would need to be quite short or mounted high so you don't get the back end stuck. Another option is a hatch in the roof, either above the foot area of the rear seats or the boot area. This makes communication with the driver easier and is warmer.
Its called a landcruiser. Its kind of like a safari but better in every way.:p:D:D:DQuote:

Only illegal on public land. If you werent aloud to shoot from vehicles there would be alot of law breaking pest controllers/ skeet shooting plebs off boats ect ect.Quote:

You want one of theses:US ARMY Chenowth 'dune buggy' (FAV LSV DPV) 'Special Forces' | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Nah but ive seen televised footage of the easter bunny hunt in otago with like 100 vehicles with people shooting off them. People shootjng from quads and motorbikes for a living?. Charter boats offering skeet shooting? Its not rocket science .
I was thinking about this as well, not sure what the costs involved would be for getting it legal though. Maybe if the truck was just a farm basher would be ok?Quote:

Fark yeah.....now were talking Friwi.....buy an old battered VW bug and your half way there........SWEET
Have seen one of these around the traps somewhere. Build it above the bumper, has to be mounted at least one mount on either side, bars up on the 4 corners and a padded frame around the top at approx bum height - make it any higher and you belt the hell out of your kidneys. Make the front high enough to extend a platform over the roof to shoot off, but with low sides to keep all your ammo etc handy. Wire up a small 2 or 3 way switch with matching small 2 or 3 lights that you tape to the outside top of the windscreen, one for left, one for right, and either one for stop or both for stop. Much simpler and quieter than yelling instructions to the driver. Also have seen one made to fit on to the spare wheel carrier.
My dad built a platform for his Suzuki Escudo. It hooked on the tow bar and under the chassis at the rear.
It worked well. Being short you could talk to the driver if he had his window down.
