Thumelo, Why not put the spare on the bonnet, like a LANDY. :laugh2: :boss: :clap: :silent: If im not mistaken, the bonnet of a landy is designed to hold the weight of the spare, so if you want to put it on the bonnet of a lux (IMO will look horrid) you will have to strenghten the entire bonnet, hi...

Wow this thread is very interesting... New to the forum and 4x4ing so here is a dum question for you.... Why did you move the front axel 35mm forward? is that just for arrival angle or is there more to it? Magic job very time consuming but well worth it.... And what a transformation....... :clap: :c...

Spare wheels on the back is a pain in the arse! Moving side to side, up and down or which even way you like, you always end up dirty, you must swing away the carrier before opeing the canopy door or tailgate, they tend to rattle, etc. Rather keep it in the original position and toss it on the roof ...

stupid warranty, coming up up bloody technicalities, to suit them to not to pay :punch: :punch: WTH, i need my truck back home, they better do a perfect job otherwise :punch: :punch: I think they need an unanounced visit and then you demand to see the parts from your LUX cos they might just put a p...

Hi Donkey I see form your PDF drawing you planing on letting your spare wheel carrier open down and hang...... Why is it that you have chosen that design and not to swing it open to the side..... Hanging it down will just make life tough every time you open the tailgate of the bakkie..... Or do you ...

Wonder what they will charge for my BABY'S canopy She is a SWB..... Any ideas on price.... Dam this forum will get me fired... Been on here all day it addictive.......
