Halfords Dog-Taxi

also took some pics of the blinds fitted







pinched some of the wife's tights and stretched them over the blind frame and they worked a treat in giving more blackout (but could still see out), only problem was they were too tight and distorted the frame, will have to see if I can get some tights for "bigger girls" as they should fit better (and I do me fit the blinds better - not me) :blink:

Last time I looked through a fishnet like that I was 16!

Iv got a set of them free of a mate iv got tinted window and thay are dark with the blinds its hard to see but i need them are due to what is some time carried in the rear

clean version ... :laugh:
and then you went on holiday for 10 years


got sick of limited space with the armrest and junked it :ohmy:

took the rear to bits again and connected the tow-bar electrics, connections shown here for future reference.


think I've enough anchor points now :dry:

What do you think of the blinds halford?

I assume you have the correct clips for the side windows, and the rear window ones are tight enough to hold themselves?

Hi Adam,

yes I'm quite happy with the blinds thanks, and for what they cost I can get my money back no bother should I sell them at a future date.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I'd prefer the blinds to be slightly darker/private and have experimented with stretching some tights over them which worked well, but distorted the frame as they were tight tights :S will try to find some big tights or similar material (maybe even coloured) that still lets you see out.

I do prefer having the option to remove them as opposed to full time tints, maybe one day will get the plastic Swedish ones but they cost too much :pinch:

I do like the look of those blinds, was thinking about tinting but like the idea of being able to remove them.

Any info re cost etc? (or have I been blind :whistle: and missed that in this thread?)

got them local on eBay for £30

as far as I'm aware you can't get new ones any-more, Adam would know ? :dry:

Now I have seen this thread I understand all and you have done an excellent job.

I also managed to find a set on ebay a year ago when I first bought my Jimny.
They are still available hth www.uvcarshades.co.uk/shades-suzuki-jimn..._3707_3724_3725.html

Ohh may have to order a set while they are on offer


Edit: Purchased .. hmm are we going to have a strange conversation between Halford and myself about tights now :ohmy:

I have some of those blinds as they came with the Jimjam and they are good, although if sunlight shines brightly in the day or with a torch at night you can see in but at least it stops the casual glancer and anyone purposefully looking will be obvious and suspicious to any onlookers, not that they would do bugger all in todays society!

Halford I would love to see you go into a shop & buy a big pair of ladies tights! The looks you would get!

You do realise you're gonna hang your dog with those bungies & wotnot in the back don't you!

Mark, what do you carry? Are you a drug runner? It's ok, I won't tell the filth! An offroad drug runner eh! Smart idea, they'll never catch you offroad!
