    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?

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

    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.

    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 . 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"

    Regards

    Stevo

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