Andy, he's trying to bling it up like his old van but 4WD styleeee

All practical stuff going on this van you will be pleased to know Syncropete is making me a wheel carrier now but i was just wondering how a highlift fitted to it. I think Dai had his on a wheel carrier actually thinking about it. I will hunt down some pictures of Ghia's and Stan"s.

Dai has got his on the spare wheel carrier. Hi-lift sits on a plate which goes off of the towbar over the top of the bumper. I would say that alteration is the best one I've seen. Saves the extra weight hanging off the end of the spare wheel carrier. It's alot of weight to have hanging especially if you are doing some bumpy stuff.



Not terribly clear, but you can see the back of the shovel and the plate by the tow bar

A quick bit of spray painting and the nudge bars werre ready for bolting up on Friday night.
Painted and fixed to the van.
