Dual wheel carrier on 75 series

Thanks Wayne,
You obviously know what prompted me to ask the question :-)) The Kaymar web site could certainly show some better pics. I have a hi-top 75 series camper and there is no where else to store a second spare. I had thought about just carrying a carcass behind the bull bar but I am not to keen on that.

Agree with Richard, mine carries two 265 x 75 x R16 BFG Muddies and they are within the vehicle sides.

G'day Richard,
Where have you mounted the ARB compressor???

Signman

I have the one in the plastic box and its in the rear sliding _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx, have thought about mounting a second unit but may go down the path of mounting it in the caravan..

Tyres do not stick out

Thanks Doug,

I have sent them an email requesting info and cost. Have you seen one of their wheel carriers ? Also, do you have any thoughts on which is best - two wheels together on one side or twin carriers ?

Kiwi Kia
I sure have seen them , I own one , had it for over 2 years now, Although I got mine at Cost price and fitted with L.E.Ds It was still $500 cheaper than a Kaymar , I think the retail is about $300 under a Kaymar, and that is only a guess, I have a friend in Perth who had one and thats where I first seen it when I met up with him at Rocklea some 4 years ago and he use to work at K&N so that was a plus for me, He has a dual carrier but because he uses the split rims and narrower tyres he now has two on the right side , called military mount and he has cur the top frame of his left side and welded a flat plate on it and mounted a 2000kva Generator on it .
If you have wider wheels I don't it would be ideal to put 2 on one side ,In a few minutes I will put up a link to a photo for you

Doug

That's about 4 minutes Doug, how long is a few minutes in your book LOL

K&N Carrier



.

Thanks Doug, Good photos, do you not have a rear window wiper ?

K&N have not replied to my request for price etc yet.

Kaymar around $3,100 fitted with original tail lights.

Opposite Lock $2,750 fitted.

Kiwi Kia
No wiper mate, It's not an RV , Mine is a commercial in every aspect,
My Tyre carrier was $1600 fitted , but as I said that was because I knew someone, you know the story , and that was nearly 3 years back, I had a problem with the right tail light LEDs , , half of them had expired so K&N replaced it no charge, back about January 07

Me again Doug, Thought you may interested in the following info received to day.

Kaymar - complete with tow hitch receiver and using existing lights $2700 plus fitting $340

K&N - No tow hitch receiver, no lights, $2200 plus freight to Melbourne $300 - $400, plus fitting $?

Opposite Lock - No tow hitch receiver, no lights, $2448 plus $280 fitting

Add lights and tow hitch receiver and the others are not far off Kaymar !

Kiwi Kia
Good to see your doing the homework, but you didn't read my first post did you , have you got a tow bar now ...??? because with K&N you keep yours, with Kaymar you lose it because it has to be removed to fit the new Bar, K&N rear bar is like a table too , but fitting and freight is your dollar killer, I didn't have that cost . So now you have to decide don't you,....go for a drive to Perth .

I don't have any rear bart at the moment and I will not be in Perth till about three years time as I go around the block. Tassie in Feb and move up to Bris in June

Thanks Kev,

I have had a look at their web site and thats the same bar that K&N are offering but $200 dearer but without a $300 - $400 delvery cost. It still needs lights and a tow hitch receiver plus fitting so it looks like they are all about the same price.

Kiwi Kia,

There number is 03 9532 5558 Speak to Dragon, he's a nice bloke to talk too i am getting one fitted to my Troopy as well. I'm going down there today so i will see what price i can get for you i take it you need a tow hitch as well i'll send a MM when i get back.

Cheers Steve.

Thanks Steve. I was also thinking pluging an large alloy rear step into the hitch receiver when camped. Old bones don't like the long drop down when they are stiff :-)) I will not be using the truck again till Feb so I have plenty of time to work out what I want.
