I saw it in a South african 4x4 mag in february. Dont know much more than that I am affraid.

Looks good Brad (the fabricator) and I had discussed going for something similar but thought that it would be prudent to spread the anchor load across the rear cross member oppossed to just the corner due to the stresses involved.Quote:

The main mounting bracket of a well known brand of carrier doesn't actually cover the full height of the chassis (wagon version, but similar). I make my brackets the full height of the chassis and I've come up with a different type of backing plate which sort of wraps around the chassis to make use of the horizontal parts of the chassis. I'll post pics of the 130 mounting bracket when I get a chance. It's similar to the wagon version below, but it has two wrapped brackets.
