What do you put on the other side of a custom tyre carrier?

Post by pongo »

Im out of ideas

I dont need fuel jerry cans
Caravan water tank in the camper trailer ( maybe)
shovel, highlift taken care of
More water in pvc under the roof rack
Outboard motor on camper trailer or back of car.

Only thing i can think of is another tyre, 100 litre fuel tank or maybe a tool/storage box with a bloody good lock on it.

Whats your ideas people. Maybe some IFS or extra wheelbase maybe ?

Cheers

I wouldn't put anything there if you have no need for it. It's just added weight your carrier would have to cope with.

Nah, shes an ugly duckling but shell handle the weight no dramas, I basically just added to a haymen reece towbar that has been flipped. It runs trailer wheel bearing, etc, etc.

Tough as nails but uglier than a dead dog run over by a mack truck

A seat for the misses

How about an empty box that is just for throwing muddy recovery straps in or even rubbish.

I put a alloy box, attach number plate and lamp to it. The box is large enough to take to two jerry if need be, but it is also really useful for muddy items, rubbish, baby seat :) , etc

I would put a jerry holder for water, never know when you may need it if you arent towing and dont have the water tank to rely on.

One idea I keep thinking of... you sound like you tow a camper and all the other gear - how about mounting one of those tall pipe style gas hot water / showers (I think they are an Aussie Camp Shower?)

Seen them mounted on the A-frames of campers, but with my water in the 4wd and 3kg gas bottle in the back I think it would be a good place to put one.

Thats a possibiltiy, wont take up much room and should work nicely there.

quickest shower ive seen was a pvc pipe setup on the roof with a normal shower head hanging off the back.
