Or the OE light guards 
Just another option.... http://www.kaymarcarrier.ru/products/jackm...lderkaymar
That way you can choose whatever wheel carrier you want and then bolt the jack holder to it. Glyn  |

My advice is to stay away from this type
Click image to enlarge Broke within 12mnths of purchase. OK...so was replaced under warranty 
Replacement broke 14mnths after it was attached to the defender 
Poor design. |

The one from Safari Equip/Exteme, does move the wheel very much to the side of the vehicle, which is a look that I personaly do no like.
Just mentioning it so that you are aware. Andy |

Thanks Andy i had seen that too, im not sure about it. I have been thinking about making my own but normally ends up costing more than a bought one and all the time and agro that goes with it.
I quite like Glyn's idea but dont think it will work with boost alloys?? Pete. |

First I suppose a couple of statements of interest.
1) I have used WVA/Safari Equip gear for a number of years on my own Land Rovers 2) I am a reseller of WVA/Safari equip gear. Their factory is about 2 miles away from where I live but apart from reselling some of their gear I have no other connections with the owners of WVA/Safari Equip. Have used Safari Equip gear for a number of years including the swing away wheel carrier. The one on our red 110 is about 7 to 8 years old and carries a 255/85/R16 BFG MT on a steel modular. The red 110 has not had an easy life and has done tens of thousands of miles off tarmac. Have not experienced any problems with it and have had it modified to provide a mount for a HF aerial. As a private individual they have made one offs for me so as a private Land Rover owner I am very happy with the service and quality of gear I have had from WVA. As a private individual have their diff guards, R+T sliders,wheel carriers etc 2) As a reseller of some of their gear I was in their offices about a week prior to Christmas. On a desk was what appeared to be the top bar of a swing away wheel carrier. I asked Jullian a partner in WVA about it. Yes they had experienced problems with some of their swing away wheel carriers. They normally sourced steel from a company which gets steel from UK/Europe. They had problems getting supplies of certain steel tube sizes from their normal supplier. An alternative supplier who got steel from India coud supply required tube and at a slightly cheaper price then normal supplier. Apparently all the failures in their swing away wheel comes from this batch of tube. They are not the first company to have experienced problems with their goods after a change n supplier. I will quite happily point out the pros and cons of any gear we sell WVA/Safari equip is no different. Good points? In general there stuff is well made and reasonably priced for the quality. i.e. their swing away wheel carriers varies between ca. £160-210. On ebay different makes varies between £130-280 (ignoring the alisport one at £600) The top mount is a long mount rather then the much shorter mount used by some other manufacturers. Their protection gear is hot dipped galvanised then powder coated rather then the cheaper electro plated or just painted. They are prepared to do one off specials. They do their best to resolve problems Some bad points. Their website! Lack of fitting instructions (they normally sell to garages etc and they assume that the fitters know what they are doing. I personally think they should at least put instructions on their website. Hot dip galv, they don't always check that tapped holes have not been clogged. Sometimes the fitting kits are a bit of a hit and miss affair. Yes I can understand Vixen being annoyed and personally I do not blame her! Yes as a reseller there has been a couple of minor issues which I have been able to resolve quickly. Probably helps that I am so close to their factory. Yes they have room for improvements Hopefully that will help to clarify what has happened Hope I have not overstep any forum boundaries Brendan |
