Re: Tyre Carrier
Hey Guys,
As for the departure angle, I don't really do any driving that this would effect departure angle. I mostly do beach or rough dirt road driving with the occasional creek crossing. I'm concerned that the opposite lock option won't fit now that I have the high tech exhaust. In the photos on the opposite lock website the steel bar is in line with the bottom of the tow hitch. That's where the high tech tips are in line with.

I'm afraid the steel bar will hit the exhaust. Thoughts Jalal???
As for the Jerry cans I want them outside the car and up here on long trips I have to carry petrol as its not available at all servo's. The only thing I ever put up on the roof is my second spare and spare fuel. I don't tow my trailer up the Gibb River rd so I can't put it in there, I have the ability to repair tyres but still always carry a second spare.
As for the recovery point, the TireGate branded one allows you to retain your tow point so you wouldn't loose your recovery point.

Re:
The OL carrier is for the T31. It won't fit the T30.

Re: Tyre Carrier
Ann,
If you have a T31 the opposite lock one looks pretty good. I think the tiregate one is better as you can retain your tow point however im turned off by the fact that that it doesn't a mechanism to keep it open so you're at risk of it swinging closed.
I am too interested in a rooftop tent and will loose the space up top. Have a look at the 4wd supercentre website im interested in the tigerz 11 roof top tent. they were on sale for $895 2 weeks ago with free shipping. im waiting until xmas as they sometimes have huge sales

Re:
Ann, my OL wheel carrier is up for sale + freight. Let me know if you are interested.
If you have the OL wheel carrier and get some some to fabricate the jerry can carrier for the left side of the car using the towbar as the attachment point, you probably can have the best of both words. Not sure how the weight distribution will work though. If you are not using the jerry can carrier, you can always take it off and still keep the towbar while keeping the wheel carrier on.
Max, is the import tax included with that price?

That's what I wanted to say too and you got me confused with your question about Hi-Tech tail pipes clearance Max

Re: Tyre Carrier
I think I would prefer the jerry cans either side of the wheel so it doesn't stick out so far
