Did anyone seen **PROPER** fitting instruction for this? Did anyone fitted it by himself? Their instruction **TOTAL CRAP**. I have "D" version which means "Driver Side" (i.e. right)
Thanks

KSV, I bought and fitted one of thier snorkels and Diff Lokkas for my 75 Series ute and the instructions were about as usefull as an ashtray on a motorbike!! Spent more time trying to understand the instructions than actaully fitting the stuff. Good luck.

Why not just call or email 4wd Systems directly? I am sure they would email or fax the correct instructions?????

Already did. Although fellow been very nice and cooperative it still leads to nothing. He faxed me the same> pictures which sits on their website. Difference is because they came via fax they are **TOTALLY** useless :-).

You get what you pay for.
That's why I go to ARB for everything now.
Might pay a little more, but quality, backup.
Have a few stories.

Hmmm. Depends. Quality of this wheel carrier is very good indeed (as far as I can see so far; let me install it and I will make final conclusion). Service, delivery, packaging – everything perfectly fine. Spare wheel from ARB cost 1.5 more – IMHO $1000 for two welded pieces of metal is way too much. From another hand I have spare fuel tank from ARB and quality not really as good – it was unpainted and in particular I was not satisfy with fastening. Plus their instruction was crap as
well and I have to figure out my own way.
