Hi Jamo, Will, Haggis, Stevo & HSV,

I have, now, carefully re-read the posts in this thread. Sorry for my slackness earlier.

Also, sorry to hear about the unintentional customising.:(

Looking forward to further info.

Hi All,
I guess that the next (logical???) question is:

What size rims & tyres do you have mounted on your rear bar?

17"rims, 265 70 17 BFG AT's

Have fitted Cooper ST to my D3 - 245 70R 17. An excellent fit to the Kaymar rear tyre carrier.

Perfect! The same tyres as I have. :)

Hi Gordon,
You are right, my fingers are working ahead of my brain at the moment.:(

I guess that, now that I'm committed to the Mitchell Bros hitch, I might have to come & visit each of you and see if your wheel carrier is compatible.:twisted::twisted::twisted:

Be AFRAID, be VERY AFRAID.

Hi Bushwanderer, have a look at the installation pics min my gallery, it will show clearly how the 4x4 intelligence unit fits up.

Ohhhh...........bummer :eek:. Must have been a hell of a whack to modify the bar as it seems very strong. I have a couple of slight dents underneath from some nasty rocks from a recent trip. Had it been the whole bumper, it would have most likely been ripped clean off. I so much prefer the look with the wheel carrier though, I think it looks "horn" :D

It just got a bit wobbly around the opening for the tow eye and trailer sockets.
