just the latest small modification ive made... nice bash plate made of 3mm stainless steel, strong,,,and prolly a little too heavy for my application but its all i had lying around here at home so i made use of it.
all i need to do now is make another similar bash plate/skid plate to go under the auto gearbox sump..as its the last thing exposed to rough terrain under the car

the one thing i need to do is make the rear brackets for the corners of the plate and make the front mounting points a tad stronger

and this is just another little minor modification:) i think it suits the car well.teeeheh

cheers

Matatak · Post by **Matatak** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 11:03 pm

sorry if im wrong

D3V1L · Post by **D3V1L** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 11:05 pm

oh u mean the left over shit that still running down after i fixed the hose...i never cleaned it so its still slowly falling down

and matt....method of bending was a press in a machine shop:) amazing stuff ey

i just had to modify the bend in the top a little to fit the holes...hence y i looks abbit messy up there..but ill get onto that shortly

how about...NO....caus this is all i could find for less then $40, that actually FITS my pint sized spare

its only there to cover the horrid looking steelie spare i got

dave

Matatak · Post by **Matatak** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 9:42 pm

looks Aight.

how much room is there to fit the Car trailer on still? and whats is the OD of ur spare ?

alot of people are going to be looking at this set up i reckon

Subafury · Post by **Subafury** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 10:24 pm

arent you sorta blockin the road there haha.

is this very similar to the beige wagon's SWC?

btw we have cheap fishing ones etc at work

D3V1L · Post by **D3V1L** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 12:23 am

its a bike rack

... and no...if this is on then there is no trailer...but i only plan on using this for offroading where i wont need a trailer...it only takes 5 minutes to take off

and my spare OD is only like 24" or whatever the standard spare on an OB is

works well..in near future ill relocate to the side and modify for a swing arm caus ill eventually get sick of having to pull it up and down to open the tailgate:P but then again its a good step or table to use, just like subarinos idea..top idea in my view:)

only minor mod i have to do soon is change the verticle slightly so it sits closer to the car..atm it sits too far out

Wouldn't the trailer still fit on anyway? Being a bike rack I thought they were designed to still allow a trailer. Or does the actual spare wheel get in the way now?
