A bit heavy handed with the red paint aren't they ?
That could be a reasonable idea for most defenders I would think.
And with a double joint would allow you to drop the wheel nearly to the floor under control heaps more helpful.


How dya go getting a back on the 130 or did you not bother ?

It's not a spare wheel mount - it's a service platform. You fold it down and then step on the spare wheel to reach under the bonnet.

It seems like it would create an even bigger blind spot being mounted so much further to the front.

As said it may hinder, forward vision too, i know they were talking on the SA forums, about these, someone makes a kit, it was bad enough on the old 300tdi, hate to think what it would do to a new puma..Lol

Still looking, Nenoveland, do one for around $2500, but i am hopeful i can get some one local to make something up based upon there pattern....

Try Mulgo - he can work miracles...

I understand that a standard TD5 or 300Tdi bonnet fit a Puma...... so why not use one of those. Spare wheel kits available for them.

If a standard bonnet would fit why did they put a bump in the new one ? Sounds wrong to me.
