Even without the Jerries... A dual rear wheel carrier for under $1000 is goddam cheap... and he says it is 100 X 50 X 3mm Box.

yeah but have a very close look at the pics he has there. This is NOT a Bumper Replacement! It looks like the mounts go inside the chassis rails and i assume that you either cut big holes in your rear bumper or take the bottom tail lights out and that exposed the end of the chassis rails.Quote:

^^^^^^Look at that Tab hanging out the end to open the side of your leg when your walking past

It Looks POX on the back of the GU IV i reckon and the departure angle has been smashed with this thing added to the back.
Looks like junk to me sorry. I can see the extra $$s in the Powerful full bar replacement job, i struggle to see the $4,000 in the ARB one though, nice! but not $4K.
I agree, and Yes it is a Dual Wheel Carrier not a Rear Bar with Dual carriers. It sure looks like it bolts to the Chassis Rails hence the reason it is under $1,000 I reckon. Heaps less engineering and materials which is thinking outside the square.
Not saying the design doesn't need some work tho... esp that 'stopper plate' just hanging out there as you pointed out. I also thinks it would be easy to get a better departure angle esp with no Jerry Holders.
I know just the man to do the redesign and fabrication as well if it is viable.
Anyone know of any other Dual Wheel Carriers that use a Thru-Bumper Chassis Rail mounting concept?
everything is wrong...tail lights stick out to side and all. Just grab old MQ spare wheel and jerry can rack and get it fitted.

I'm not so much interested in his Carrier in the flesh just the concept. I know a GUN tradey who could fab up something waaay nicer if the mounting method is viable.
As an aside from earlier... as best I can determine it's OK to have Jerries on the back or on the roof here in W.A. Dunno 'bout the rest of you guys
Indeed, I think it's only illegal to have them in the cabin which makes all the modern hatchbacks and cars with split'fold rear seats an interesting proposition. The regs also seem to be consistent in mentioning 'Petrol' so not sure if they mean Petrol as in specifically Petrol or Petrol as in Hydrocarbon Fuel
Well I give the bloke a pat fer having a go, not the flashest of fab jobs but he is probably proud of it and it does the job for him.
We all have to start somewhere, I know I did and you'd all probably laugh at my first attemps at welding, I'm a whiz now tho!! he he
