Steve.. how do you find the spare carrier? Does it block the view? Can it handle the load without bending the mounts? How is it mounted? Where from etc...

Hi Bogged,

I'm real happy with the tyre carrier. The only thing you have to be carefull of is that it is open far enough before you open the tailgate. Doesn't block the view out the back, you can see the top of the tyre but doesn't have too much of an affect, I'll get a pic out of the rear window tonight if I remember. Mine will take up to a 31, it's got a 30 on at the moment. You do notice it moving a little but it's certainly solid. There is a plate inside the bumper bar that mounts to the chassis, it also has a support that goes down to the tow bar mount, if you have a towbar it still mounts apparently.

I've done the Flinders and the corrugations out to Cameron Corner with it and also Fraser Island with no problems or signs of fatigue. I even had a work light on a stand mounted on it for the Flinders/Cameron Corner, the stand for the worklight split from the continual vibration but the carrier was fine

I got it from Chris at Consoles and Carriers on 0407 319 784 or 03 9704 7673 http://www.consolesandcarriers.com.au A great guy to deal with and he will customize them for specific tyre sizes.

Cheers
Steve

I'd be really interested to check out one or two of the side trails down there, a friend who lives locally is a NPWS dude so he may be able to let us in. Also know of a good little articulation checking place in Hornsby Heights.

Crikes, come to think of it. If we still had our house I'd have about 800sqm's of rocks to play on and a pool to sit and drink beers in too watch it from. Wonder if the ownbers will sell it back to me?

I need to see mine from a distance, there's a new renegade in the building at work and each time I drive past or park near it (have not had the chance to park alongside yet) or even see another one. I don't feel mine's all that different.

But there's a brighter side to that. Got talking to Heather about sometrips we could do and she was all for it. I then had to say we did not have a vehicle set up for them so result was I have to spend what is left from my tax (which should be a fair amount) on more mods. What a shame huh.

Hmmm sounds like a local day should be arranged, or at least a few hours I noticed all the tracks down there have been blocked off now, even 12 months ago there were a few open ones but not anymore. Be good to get in thier legally and have an explore though.

Cheers
