Spare Wheel Carrier from BRS

Finally it's done

Also clears the trailer

That's the good news. Karl doesn't think he will be doing any more of this specific model as they are too time consuming to fit

. That's the bad news

But watch this space - he thinks he has sourced a different make that will be easier to do

Only one major problem -

you can't see Karls' "BRS" plate when viewing from the rear

although I see there is something on the swing arm.

very neat I must say

The plate on the swing arm is for Outback Extreme . So a marketing blunder by Karl

Nope it's made locally in SA . It's a whole days job for 2 people to fit - that's why he is not so keen on doing them

Looks great Heine!

For moment I am sticking with putting the 6th on top. Only for the longer exursions and as the rack is doing its thing well.

Your ladder is also looking good. Is that LR or Karl? I am using the rear door handle and it is not showing any signs of stress despite 108kgs going up and down.
(Only stress is on me).

Which is the RWC that Karl is getting in?

Herewith a pic of the bracket to fit the PDC sensor. Not great, but its functional. Made of 50mmx 3mm ally strip. When I have time next year I will make a pro one. You need a 27mm hole saw, small round file and a bit of patience

And, a pic of my install with the right wheels:

Wobbles a lot with the extra weight of the STT. Will let you know if it falls off in Botswana
