Does the alloy spare fit in the spare wheel well?

WK2 Bullbar thread, just dropped the WK2 in for the test fit and updated this thread.

Yes, the alloy OEM wheel fits in the spare space. I have an LT265/65-17 D697 on it. The false floor sits a tiny bit higher, but, strangely, the false floor I use with the fridge slide and compressor/air tank does not.

The tank is a very neat job.

Just fitted my pair of front recovery hooks - I'll use the tow hitch receiver at the back.

A mate who is a fabricator made them up for me.

They are similar to the Jeep Australia single one in that they fit behind the plastic covers. Mine have a bit wider/deeper hook and are welded instead of bolted.

They use the same mounting bolts as the Jeep one and also the tow hook on the driver's side.

I powder coated them bright yellow to make them easy to see.

Rough state:

He can make more, if people want them. He is pricing them up now and I will let you know. My guess is two will cost less than the single Jeep one...

Now I have two front recovery points for the Coongie Lakes trip in a couple of weeks!

Look great, well done. Never to be thwarted by dealerships and key aftermarket suppliers that don't serm to want to support our model Jeep, (mostly with 3 letters in their brand), we just build our own. Great outcome.

Excellent work mate!

Plus they look much much better than the OEM ones.

I hope he sells good, well deserving.
