    Rear Wheel Carrier & Jacking

    Hi All

    Just thought I would point out a problem with the Bearmach Rear Wheel Carrier.

    Once fitted the carrier moves the spare wheel more to the right hand side of the vehicle (providing better access to door handle and improving rear vision), however, it also obscures RHS jacking point in the rear cross member :?

    Even when using an adaptor with a longer tongue for the hi-lift you still run into trouble. The only solution, is to remove the spare brefore jacking. Even then it is still a bit awkward with the carrier in the way.

    Just thought I would point this out and if anyone has come up with a better way of getting around this please let me know (some rock sliders with a jacking point would be nice :wink: )



    Regards

    Can't you fit the jack in when the door is open?

    you could try something like this:
    http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/GR_corner_mod.html

    or if you cut the rear panel to reveal the end of the rear crossmember would you be able to jack from the side? i dunno.

    bottle jack and a piece of wood for a base, not much use in the mud.

    i've exactly the same problem!!

    do you get jackable bumperettes?? that stiil enable the wheel carrier to work??

    good luck

    Heavy duty sills are the answer.....

    I always use my hi-lift on the sills, works a treat. The only disadvantage is that you can't cast off on the rear which, to be fair, is difficult when you have the spare on the rear anyway!

    Mark tested out my sliders on the Border track Trip.

    On the way home i got a blow out and Mark jacked up my rear Left with his High Lift and it worked a treat....
