Toyota Fortuner Spare wheel carrier

[OOOOMS]

Well after being shocked by one of the major suppliers for the spare wheel carrier ..... only!!! (without replacement bumper @ R9k.....yes take a deep breath ) I contacted Jacque Kotze, in Senekal and he agreed to custom make one at a third of the price.

Firstly....thanks to Jacques ( 08232one8816) for going the extra mile and building a decent spare wheel carrier for OOOODS. Finally she is very happy with it

So off to Senekal I went on Friday (05h00) morning to be invited for a lovely breakkie made by his wife. Then off to the workshop where Jacque cut. welded braces and who knows what he all did. All I know he can weld :!: :!: :!:

Finally he finished at around 19h00 and with a freshly baked bananna bread hit the road home around 21h00

Worth the trip.....abserlutely and OOOODS's Tuna is looking mighty fine

Here are some pics of the process, and will post the final pics tomorrow

Now I still move the number plate and wait for the paint to dry.

Will post final pics tomorrow

Dis n slim idee, waarvoor gebruik jy die vertikale bracket met die drie stelle gate ?

[Ali3n]

It looks awesome Gertjie! It looks even better in person.

Lyk baie goed.Net 'n vragie het hy 'n tiepe briek of swaai hy maar heen en weer

As die swingarm oop is, het hy 'n spring latch wat hom oop hou.

Finally almost done and dusted

[NardusJVR]

Well done! Lyk 100.

[Racing snake]

Mark. That looks awesome in silver. Paint or powder coated?

[Racing snake]

Jacques. Thanks. We'll take it easy. Talk when we get back.

[jacques kotze]

Ooooms, het vir jou die end caps gemaak, ek bring dit saam more, het hulle sommer cold dip galvenizing gesprei verf, behoort naby aan jou silver tuna te wees. Jy kan maar later self net die regte kleur opsit.

Looks like its for an adjustable drop plate.

Looking good, Mark / Danelle!

[Johannes van die See]

Daai lyk sommer lekker Mark
Net een vraag, hoekom het jy besluit om die wiel so hoog te sit?

Die swingarm moet oor die trailer se nosecone kan swaai as hy gehaak is. Lyk hoog maar is min of meer dieselle hoogte as Outback Extreme s'n

[Johannes van die See]

Maak sin.

[OOOOMS]

Maak sin.

Maak sin....? Wanneer gaan ons op vakansie.....

Yes Brian, When I bought the material for ooooms carrier I bought enough for your's as well. Already made the bearing unit and the the "L" shaped bracket. Just need to get it on the right size and make the latch and the rest of the little things. It'll take a day to finish it, but I need the tuna to do the rest of the arm.

Yip that is correct with hammer-rite and a roller, come check it out for yourself, pretty cool me thinks

Hi Jaques,

Thanks. As I said I'm not in a hurry so when it suits you Give me a call and I'll bring the Tuna to Senekal. Look forward to meeting you.

Hi Mark,

Would like to see what your painting expertise is like. Painting a carrier with a roller sounds a bit dodgey but I'll reserve judgement until I've seen it. Give me a shout when you've got time.
