Series 1 Disco Rear Wheel Carrier, I wish Kaymar made one!

Post by DirtyDiesel »

G'day Folks.

I found out about the joys of red dust getting into the back of my wagon after travelling from Brewarrina to Cobar. I now know why Kaymar spare tyre carriers are popular!

Unfortunately, Kaymar don't make them for a Series 1 Disco. They do however, make them for a Series 2. You can also purchase a Series 1 steel rear bumper from Scorpion Racing in the UK.

My game plan is to go and see a boilermaker and get him to do a cut and shut, using parts from the Kaymar Series 2, and integrate them onto the Scorpion Racing steel replacement bumper.

What do you lot reckon? I am interested on some feedback on this one. Is it feasible?

Cheers

Have you tried Op Lock - They have steel tyre carrier bars from Outback Accessories in W.A. Maybe they do a Series 1 ?
gute Reise!

Les Richmond Automotive used to list one but it does not seem to be on the web site now. You could try calling them.

Make one from scratch it will be easier than modding one and cheaper, look in general teck section, there is a full right up with pics on a jeep rear bar with wheel carrier that could easily be made to fit a disco.
Saddle up tonto, its the not so loanrangie! . 98 TDI DISCO lightly modded with more to come.

I'd say a S2 one can be cut and shut withoutn too much trouble. Have a look for Brooksey's posts, he makes them and very well too - maybe on 4wdrive monthly forums.

We made one from scratch - posted some piccies ... and I think on here somewhere (I forget)

The main issue will be the sides I think, which will require some guard chopping - but this is good anyway to provide more clearance.
Nice gq swb ute chop with a huffer for the good times
