Looks like standard size tyres only would fit!

Looks like standard size tyres only would fit!
Tight in between.
There has been mention of weight being an issue as well. The OL one would way less.
Is the weight of the Kaymar an issue ?
Rich
Are the wheel carriers sold by OL, Frontrunner and Dollium the same.
They seem to have the same part numbers?
Rich
Yes I'm fairly sure they are the same.Quote:

Dolium and Front Runner are, but OL also sells the Outback Accessories one too.
Kaymar quoted 100kg when I looked at them....maybe they added the wheel too?
Thanks Brett, we did ask a couple of years ago, but I'm pretty sure Gordon at OL said no, must be a new thing.Quote:

Remove factory rear bar and associated stuff 20kg approx, could be heavier
Add Kaymar bar and wheel carrier 78kg to 100kg
There ya have it;)
Also no worse than having 150kg to 350kg of caravan ball weight on the towbar:o

Sorry but I'm just into keeping things as light as possible ( extra tyres not wheels etc.) I realise not every one knows how to change a tyre and some like to look like they go bush all the time. Kay mar bar, Two wheels, hi lift Jack, HF radio aerial + mount and shovel all on the back. This tells me, that person doesn't do a lot of outback travel.

I don't have a hi lift on the car, it's on the camper, don't have a HF radio either, sat phone and EPERB for us.
We have taken a lot of time setting this car up and making sure it's not too heavy, I would say with confidence, it's no heavier that the average Defender loaded up for a trip, most of our gear is in the camper, I reckon it will come in under 3.0t, when you consider they start out at 2.6t and they have a GVM of 3.245t.
Oh and yes we have done a fair amount of outback/remote travel, not as much as we would like, our previos tourer was pretty much setup the same way, never had an issue where ever we went, whether it was the High Country or the desert.
