Range rover P38 rear bar and wheel carrier - eBay 4x4 Accessories, Exterior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 17-Aug-08 09:55:10 AEST)

Gents its been a long project but it's finally on the car. Due to health reasons I have only followed this up in the last 3 weeks. My bar was the first off the line and was a prototype hence I had to made a few small mods to meet my needs. I had it fitted by Davis Performance Landy's (SYD) and worked out the teething problems which were communicated to 4 x 4 intel hence I think the delay for everyone else.

Chassis dimentions seem to vary car to car so some adjustment was necessary.

I relocated the plate light and number plate and trimming off the corners so as to still be able to use the hi-lift jack points. The light stand is a rework of the original design installed by davis landy's. I have also added a separate antenna mount.

I will post photo's of the entire project when complete, just the snorkel to go. . .

Hi Captain;

I noticed that both Wheels are covering your rear lights but it looks as though 4x4 intelligence have incorporated lights ( indicator / brake / reversing lights ) in to their rear bar design , so I won't bring up the point that it may be illegal for tyre fitted to your rear wheel carrier to cover your lights

good stuff ...

Nice one Captain - looks great. I hope mine arrives soon. I'm getting tired of carrying the spare tyre loose in the boot or not carrying it at all.

I notice that you're also running Coopers. ST or STT?

I'll be very interested to hear how you manage to get a snorkel on the P38A - another thing on my wish list.

cheers
Paul.

That looks awesome!!!! Very nice!!!!

Paul I'm running ST as I believe the SST have a lower speed rating and I was concerned about road noise. But I hear good reviews so perhaps next time. . .

From my own experience, I suggest staying well away from 4x4i if they're building first runs. Michael took very little accountability for errors, blamed ATV for making my tyre carrier not fit & talked endless spin. Even though he blamed ATV for deforming the carrier with a hammer (which didn't happen) he took it back, rejigged it to suit my 4x4i bar, modified some parts & sent it back. It fitted with the bar 2nd time around but not without faults. Deal with Simon, I'd give Michael a very wide berth.
