I presume they won't be developing in Perth though?

Opposite Lock seem to do a pretty good bullbar in steel, although not much cheaper than ARB's when you ad foglights and colour coding, about $2900.

Just called them Russ, yes they want the car for a week to fit a twin wheel carrier, replacing the standard bumper with a steel one. They've offered a discount down to about $1500 including fitting. I'm just not convinced I'd want all that extra weight hanging off the back of the car, the twin carrier alone (without wheels/jerry cans) is 75kg, against only 26kg for the single one. I think I'd rather just the single one, and carry a spare tyre carcase on the roof or the camper trailer boat loader.

Yep it's a fine line between adding 30kg to the roof for a platform rack to carry a spare and a few other things or add the extra 50kg to the rear.
Only 20kg difference really and whether adding the dead weight to the roof or the bumper is more beneficial is questionable seeing as the roof will create wind drag too.
Personal preference again i think.
It's more a question of weight distribution I think. The camper puts 200kg plus on the tow hitch already, add the weight of a wheel carrier plus wheels and you're talking big numbers and a lot of pressure on the suspension etc.

Hey Greg.....Do you really need any of that apart from the brake controller and second battery (with battery manager)?
Yep whereas if you weren't towing you would nearly be better off with the spare on the rear. Gives you more options for roof top tents and so forth.
