Dual Spare Wheel Carrier for 110

[pbroz]

Does anyone know of who manfacturers the Dual Spare Wheel Carrier for the Defender 110? I've seen one around Fremantle and seems like a good way to carrier that 6th wheel (if required)...

ARB I belive make one for the landcruiser


if you do some searching on the forum you should find the drawings for a defender dual spare carrier. You could take that to your local engineering fabricator and they should be able tp knock one up for you.

Unfortunately, they only make a single wheel carrier for the 110 / Defender, see at the bottom of this page:

All the swing away parts can be bought, the Defender has the huge advantage of having the rear crossmember RIGHT THERE in your face:)

Easy to make your own, and it'll be WAYYYY cheaper.

I see cewilson found the drawings I was refering to earlier.

rijidij has also put up some pics of a project he put together for a single wheel carrier (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/projects-tutorials/72442-rear-wheel-carrier-defender-county.html). He found a good source for the bearing/hub to get the pivot. With a bit of imagination and a tape measure I am sure that you could come up with a dual wheel carrier.


But as others have said, Why? For the times you need a sixth wheel you could find a storgae location for the trip. I used roof bars and put the spare up there.

I did 2 this trip, i know of 1 RR that did 3, and 3 otheres who were doing the 550klm trip home with nothing with air but the one in each cnr.

and its horible driving with no swaybar and 4 wheels on the roof. even 2 is not so nice.

I can't quite remember who to credit for this (needless to say it wasn't me), but here is a CAD drawing of a dual spare wheel carrier that I found on the forum some time ago.

If you do decide to use it, I'd check all the mesurements just to be sure it fits.

enjoy
