I would get something sooner rather than later. My twisted wheel broke two carriers with its weight including the standard one you are using. You can get a Land Rover mantec from Dan for sub £200 with the extension bolts but I broke that one too as the wheel sits way too far out. Anyway we ended up cutting, shortening the bolts and welding on supports and it’s now spot on. Twisted use the mantec but not the LR wolf type. Andy

Oooh yeah. oneten has also seen the light. Aussie Kaymar, strongest no drill chassis mounted wheel carrier on earth. No cylinder wobbling like a by this community much loved continental European SS wheel carrier, no rust after 9 years, can take the weight of any wheel/tire combo you like and then some. Don’t think Kaymar have a UK distributor, neither one here in Switzerland, but the French Kaymar distributor sorted it all out for me. Thumbs Up

 You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Wow you have been very busy, can’t wait to see more pics Thumbs Up sounds like some great mods.

Ref the centre caps I got mine sprayed because wheel cleaner or anything like tfr will mark them being anodised Thumbs Up 2015 HT XS 90
