Thread: Les Richmond Wheel Carrier RRC ARB Bar

$550 is a bit steep...

What do you plan to carry on it? Says its strong enough for a 36" tyre, but I'm sure it could be strengthened. I built one from bits and pieces and grafted it into the rear step bar on mine - it was a lot of work. $550 seems ok to me once you realise how much work goes into designing and building them.

I have seen them cut and modded to suit body lift.
I think I remember someone on here modding one. Possibly Cloughy.

New truck has one but seems pretty flimsy

Hi Jason,

I have a Kaymar one mounted on an ARB rear bar (which you've briefly seen).

Has sagged with a 35 hanging off it, but the prob is an easy fix with the bar, not the carrier, and that info came from an ARB engineer.

Quite happy to sell it.

Please share! Is it a lack of reinforcement between the corner piece and the flat rear section? or something else?
Not a fan of the checkerplate mounting. I understand it's alloy, but since the rest is steel, what would have been wrong with using steel checkerplate on the bar? not enough in it to make a huge difference in weight...

I'd like a twin rear setup like Kaymar does fo the P-troll's and landbruisers though...

When I done my carrier, I thought the corner of the ARB bar was a tad weak. My setup has a boss welded through the bar, and a strengthening brace welded to the underside, sort of boxing it in. I used glacier bushes instead of bearings too. Seems to work ok and hasn't moved.......its only on 31" tyres tho.

Will get photos on weekend.

Think will be doing a more substantial carrier that bolts in same place. Concept is good. Latch average
