Wheel carrier
« on: August 16, 2005, 23:34:06 »
Anyone know if a wheel carrier from a series vehicle will fit on the bonnet of a 90??
If I could only find some mud to play in, I would be as happy as the preverbial pig!!!

Mine fitted on a 110 but be aware that I did have problems due to the width of the tire being more than was expected for a series (I think thats the reason but it could have just been me bing thick). The wheel fitted but it was a bit of a struggle.

There may also be issues with the strength of the bonnet but as my bonnet was fairly knacked any way I put it on. I didnt see any further deteriation but you pays your money and takes your choice.

I think it is Blanchards that have the full kit for a 90 for sale priced at about £80  :!:

Don't do it man.  I had a wheel on the bonnet in Sweden, i had to take it off to offroad.  You can't see owt, its like looking through a letterbox!  (And my tyres are 235 which is slimmer than most).  

Nearside's invisible, slightest incline and your heads out of the window.

I think you'll notice the army stopped putting them on the bonnet too.  What about the front bumper? or can it go in the back.

Reason given (in the appropriate PC speak) was that members of the army of 'smaller stature' had trouble lifting the bonnet.
