Again, very informative.

 

I just bought one of these with my last lucky 8 order. works very good with my 275/65/18 and says its good up to 35' tires.

 

Well quite - after all, fixing it on with just 2 nuts must be every bit as safe as the 3 that Landrover (and the type-approval authorities) thought was necessary for that big heavy wheel and tyre.

Being serious, it's worth noting that on my D2 all 3 mounting studs had cracks most of the way around them and were in danger of coming away from the carrier. I had to weld them up around 3/4 of their circumference. The time that you've spent on here trying to justify NOT doing it right could have been used to do it properly.

 

The WWNTI's have really come out in force on this one. According to the replies on my other posts my truck should have burst into flames months ago and now my spare is going to fall off and cause fatalities.

I guess I should only ask Seafoam questions and maybe every now and then ask if it's possible to change coil packs without removing the IM.

 

!!!!!!!!!

 

If it works as well as it looks it'll be good kit. Is it solid mount or rubber mounted between the offsets?

IMO I believe offroading obviously imposes far higher inertial shock loads on the spare carrier which, IMO, causes the wheel studs to fracture as there is no center spigot involved to share the thrust. Maybe welding on a centre spigot would overcome the problem BUT it would transfer the shock loads to the spare wheel bracket fixings and the rear door hinges and locator wedge lock mechanism.

 

A real man would have used 1 toggle bolt and a 1x4

 

If you flip it, it will just barely hold a 255/85R16. (33") It slightly rubbed the bumper on mine. I probably could have kept it from rubbing the bumper if I would have had a helper lift up on the carrier while I tightened the hardware.

 

1x3........1x4 is too much strength.
