Hi there,
Can anybody tell which are the pros and cons about these 2 tyre carriers for 80series. I am looking for one but cant tell which one is best.
btw, its to carry a 36" simex, so maybe tyre weight also has to be considered.
This one is a factory carrier which comes in the VX models
And this one is a Kaymar Carrier

Hey there udm,
Like Matt said, the factory Toyota style option would need a lot of bracing, especially if you are running a 36in tyre and a steel rim! I know
mine put a lot of load on the rear bar I'm currently using. It would be hard on the rear panel if you're doing lots of km's on corrugations.
You should also
check the clearance of the 36in tyre for the Kaymar carrier, the bar(box section) that the rim bolts to only slides out so far. I know that when I had one of these on my 100 it was a really tight fit with a 33in and needed some mods to fit the 35in. Might be different with the 80?. Seemed like a quality product, and only had minimal surface type rust on the reinforcing chassis sections when I removed it.
Cheers,
Ross.
