I'm interested as my last one has had it.
Would need to see it on a wheel though as the D3/D4 is fickle with these. Too small and it does not fit over wheel. Too big and it can catch on the arch. Poorly designed and it can contact the rim. Just right and they are really handy for roof boxes.

I'd use them for a seat under the Foxwing for the kids, nice bit of kit but at £31 not exactly cheap.Club Exped trailer

Looks like it's adjustable for the tyre width but as said by Robbie, would like to see it on a D3 first.
Good idea though

Visited Steve and co down at Advanced Factors today and took this pic of step. The wheel could have been straighter when fitted, but it sat on it with no problems

Hmmm, the metalwork looks pretty close to the alloy in the picture, which is what I feared. Perhaps ok with smaller wheels but not the larger alloys?Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
