    I'm with you Phil,

    We have a saying at work: "if that is the answer what was the question?"

    On the odd occasion that I would need to carry another wheel I could spend some money on a roof rack and put that wheel on the roof and have something much more useful for other things.

    Love to see the crossmember after a run up the CSR...



    They bend easily nowadays...

    And yes, way too much money for a second wheel for an occasional trip.

    Without sounding too critical .. for the recreational 4x4 owner, it must be one of the most ridiculous accessories ever made. I wouldn't fit one even if it was free ...

    thats got to be really heavy wouldn't you have thought with that great big chunk of metal on the side.......i know it has to be there as the rear bumper encompasses the rear wheel arch also, but still Pat is probably right it probably would be over the GVM

    my mates cruiser exceeds its GVM and thats with nobody in the car and he wouldn't be the only one

    when i did my simpson trip i'm pretty certain i would have exceeded some limits of my defender as well

    a while ago i was keen on a dual wheel carrier for the defender but i think i will stick with the bonnet mount and one on the roofrack when touring

    Defender has a 1 tonne payload capacity, that's a fair amount to add on to 2t to get to the GVM of 3t. The LC200 only has allowance for 600-650kg's before it exceed its GVM. For comparison the D3's allowance is 800kg.
