Over the last couple of weeks I got around to the spare wheel carrier.
As I don't like weight that far back, and since I didn't want to add lights in the bumper, I kept the wheel in basically the same location but placed it back to front in order to get it as close to the door as possible.

Next (and probably last) step will be a corner guard for the left side tail lights.
Similar easthetically to the bracket that holds the swing arm but coming around the back a bit further.
Mag ons ons kenniskry met lekkerkry aanhoukry.

So tyd om my Patrol weer bietjie te "bederf" plus ek wil die spaarwiel van die deur af he......

Het jy al die "corner guard for the left side tail lights" gemaak?

Toe ons laas gepraat het, het jy gedink dis moontlik om 2de swing arm op te sit met bracker vir iets soos jerry can of boks, is dit moontlikheid?

Dan... sal jy kan "barwork" doen om die bumper oor agterwiel met rock sliders te verbind? ek het dit reeds voor so dit sal dan kar mooi afrond dink ek.

Dink dis beter en kry al die goed reg en vat dan kar vir oom jan dan kan hy quarter tjop doen en sommer als fit.

Jy reken ligte in die bumper is nie opsie nie, net dummy lights laat werk?

Laaste vraag watse towbar werk saam bumper?
