    130 owners, Geelong, Melb, Ballarat etc ??

    G'day All,
    You might be familiar with the dual rear carrier I manufacture for the Defender 110 and 90 Rijidij Dual Carrier

    I've fabricated some chassis extension brackets to allow the fitment of this same dual carrier to the Defender 130 with the standard tub. Before I can go any further with this product I need to pre fit the brackets and a carrier to a 130 to make sure everything fits and operates correctly.
    Now, I have a 130 sitting in my driveway, but mine is fitted with a flat tray, so I'm hoping to find a 130 owner with the standard tub who's willing to let me fit the brackets and carrier to their car.
    What's involved ?................ No drilling or anything damaging involved, just need to unbolt the two outer supports from the chassis to allow the brackets to go on, all bolted to existing holes in the chassis. Bolt on the rear bar and swing arms to check it all out, then remove it again.

    This is not urgent, but if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. I'm located near Geelong, but I'm happy to make a trip to Melbourne or elsewhere, obviously the closer the better.

    Cheers, Murray

    Hi Murray,

    it would be great to see some pictures of your rear dual wheel carrier hanging off the back of a 130 tub.....and having 285/75 tyres on 16 x 8 rims.

    Cheers

    Thanks Nick,
    It looks like I'll have a customer coming to pick up a tube bull bar in a 130 in a couple of weeks, so hopefully I can have a play with it if he doesn't mind.
    Otherwise I'll keep your offer in mind.

    Cheers, Murray
