Toyota Fortuner Spare wheel carrier
Toyota Fortuner Spare wheel carrier
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

Re: Toyota Fortuner Spare wheel carrier
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.

Net een vraag, hoekom het jy besluit om die wiel so hoog te sit?

Re: Toyota Fortuner Spare wheel carrier
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'nJohannes van die See wrote:Daai lyk sommer lekker Mark

Re: Toyota Fortuner Spare wheel carrier
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.Racing snake wrote:Jacques, Sien jy kaans om vir my so 'n carrier te bou?

Re: Toyota Fortuner Spare wheel carrier
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.
