    Hi John have a look at this site, just made what your after. https://rijidijoffroad.com.au/?product=defender-dual-wheel-and-jerry-can-carrier I personally see no point in twin carriers, we always run the single on the rear & a carcass on the roof. That way it cuts down on dead weight but you...

    Finished the swing away rear tyre carrier about 2 days before our big desert trip & had no real test time with it on the truck & just hoped it would all hold together. The tyre carrier started life as a AEV unit that fit on a JK Jeep as I loved a number of feature in their design but thats...

    On the Passengers side we needed to mount the RTT access ladder due to the fact that there was no room inside the truck + more important gear needs to live inside. The ladder is mounted to 50mm x 3mm C section alloy & position in a way to allow direct access to the gullwing door locks without...

    For extra traction in sand or any condition we chose to go with the new ARB TRED traction boards. After looking at the all new design & the investment that TRED & ARB put into these it was a no brainer for me. I did like the Maxtrax but the ARB ones have just a little more work & design in...

    Tyres of choice are BFG KM2 255/85 R16. As we spend a lot of our trips in desert or sand island this size tyre is tall but not overly wide so when deflated you get a great long foot print in soft sandy conditions. I was very keen to try the new KM3 in the same size & have them before the big...

    Just before we did our big Desert trip we got a major service on the 90 & found the rear axle spline on the drive flange had excessive stress on them. So we contacted High Tuff looking for their legendary axles. They are massive when compared to the factory job, sorry I did not get a comparo pic...

    My wife is handy with a sawing machine & we needed somewhere to put our rubbish when out camping. I thought lets make a tyre cover come bin & maximise the space. The cover protects the rubber from our harsh Australian sun & the bin gives us extra storage for both rubbish or muddy boots. The...

    A good mate of mine has developed a range of Defender products that improves greatly the factory item. The factory is a complete wast when it comes to making the intake system water tight. Nugget Stuff's air boxes is water tight & has a dust restriction gauge incorporated. On our double crossing...

    Hi ar4me, The main reason for removing the cat has way more to do with removing the heat from the drivers footwell than anything else. On one of our camping trips in mid summer on a concrete highway the temp in the footwell reached 57deg C with the outside temp 27deg C, all this with the windows...
