Cheap £37 DIY Spare Wheel OR Cargo Carrier - Peugeot Boxer, Fiat Ducato, Citroen Relay!

[@jwcgroup]

Think its great, love the diy mad max effect. I can see you growing in time and selling these. Brilliant job. Roll out the van accessory range ... obvs make them super pretty with your stealth logo! Ive seen some crazy priced options from the likes of Hymer that hold bikes, a spare wheel and box storage for 3.5k upwards. Cornwall campervan accessories here you come!

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

Thanks mate really appreciate that! Not sure if I could make it to that quality to be fair! I have another project up my sleeve but it’s a lot more complex than this one! Sooooo that will be coming at some point!

[@Richbbieslifesadventures]

Great vlog ,looks amazing thanks for sharing

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

Thankyou! ❤️

[@grahamunderwood9353]

well done ,good job ,better to be able to make one to your own specifications if in the future your needs change you can alter it accordingly and learning new skills will set you up for any challenges that come your way

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

Thanks mate! Really appreciate it! I also love learning new skills and getting play with tools! 😂😂

[@SpyderLEE]

Nice one 👍 I’d always rather make than buy if I can. Personally I’d have made the bottom cross bar a right angle to make it ocd proof but good job 😁

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

Don’t! It did hurt my OCD but I wanted as much support as possible behind the box! If I was doing it as a wheel carrier I would have done 👍

[@teedee3765]

Hi , is there a video showing how you fitted the spare wheel to the ladder ? Thx

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

No unfortunately not! However it’s a piece of unit strut attached with exhaust clamps and then ratchet strapped to the ladder. Very crude but it works well for us!

[@FromMetayou]

I noticed the squint and pray grinding method lol

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

You saw nothing!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@WagnerGimenes]

Epic results, mate. Expect some SEVERE criticism from me regarding your welding skills as soon as I learn to weld 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

Hahahaha! I’m surprised I’ve not had someone tell me I’ve done it all wrong 😂

Hi Alex, first of all, loving the videos your putting out, this may be a long shot but could you or have you got footage of you installing the Land Rover Discovery 5 seats?, I’ve purchased a set purely based on your van tour video, they are very comfortable seats and both front seats are half the price of 1 genuine peugeot boxer seat, if there’s no footage could you put up a wiring diagram or photo of the wiring if that’s possible,,, I’ve got the motors working but not from the switch unit.. getting confused , many thanks in advance John…

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

Sooo sorry I’ve only just seen this comment! So there is different types of the seats (I was unaware of this when I bought ours) some you can just put 2 power wires too and the whole lot works. Typically I bought the ones that need canbus and without them the seats don’t work! So I’ve ended up wiring in the motors I wanted so back tilt as well as forward and back on 2 separate switches for both seats. Sorry again for leaving this unanswered for so long!

[@jonnyg956]

@@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure Hi Alex, no problem with the reply, it was a long shot to ask anyway, I have however managed to get my seat in and all motors working, including the heated seats and the air lumbar, the lumbar is a game changer, I had to strip out all the Land Rover ecu and wiring and start from scratch, they are so comfortable, and seeing your Artic van tour inspired the decision.. not being a you tuber thou means I can’t share my knowledge.. Maybe one day bump in you in Cornwall and show you my van, our daughter lives in Perranporth so we visit a few times a year… keep up the great videos 👍👍👍

[@SpyderLEE]

Do you have have videos showing your roof rack? I’m thinking of doing aluminium flat bar sides with extruded aluminium bars. Yours looks very similar to what I’m thinking. 👍

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

We don’t unfortunately! So ours is made out of 42x42mm unistrut, the sides are then made out of black pvc soffit material.

@@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure cheers mate 😁

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

No problem! ❤

Great job! Have you got a link to the storage locker

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

Sadly not, it was some new old stock on EBay that I managed to get for £100 about 9 months ago!

[@arcticbunyip5005]

Nice job mate ..... Although its not so fabrication related the fact I work on, modify and can do major jobs on the Landy - originally ZERO experience - its truly satisfying to get in and do it. Made and make many mistakes but thats oart of doing it yourself and you feel pretty dam good at the end. If you ever told me I could remove and replace the windows and a rear door, alternator, full service and clutch i would have laughed at you. .... Now - bring it on

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

Thankyou! I know what you mean. 5 years ago I didn’t really know my ass from my elbow. I could do basics like brakes and servicing. But last weekend I had the engine completely out of it, swapped the clutch, dmf etc. It’s awesome being able to do stuff yourself! I always just refuse to pay some of the mental amounts of money companies are asking for stuff like this.

[@arcticbunyip5005]

@@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure ain't that so true .... My problem in Luleå is access to a place to do the work, I have access (sometimes and not exactly when I need) to a workshop for a weekend and another place just for 6 hrs a week night - it's my biggest challenge and one reason the 110 is in Germany getting it's interior done :)

I’d have thought space wouldn’t be too much of an issue up there. Everyone seems to have a shed 😂

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

@@arcticbunyip5005 ahhh ok! I must admit I’m amazed how little housing costs there compared to the UK it’s madness and it seems like such a better place! We found the people to be very nice! And they run about on snowmobiles in the winter seems more exciting than the rain in the UK 😂

[@thebeardedgeordiephotography]

Cracking job mate! 👌👌 can i ask what ladder and wheel carrier you have? I need to source a spare 16" rim for my duke and would prefer it mounted on the rear to keep the space under the van for future ideas 😊

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

Thanks mate!! So the ladder is a rhino ladder we got for free from a mate and the tyre holder is a mix of random bits. Essentially it’s 2 pieces of uni strut hold onto the ladder with some exhaust clamps. Then it’s held in place with 2 ratchet straps in an upside down Y configuration.

[@thebeardedgeordiephotography]

Cheers mate, I will keep my eyes open for a deal on a ladder 👍

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventure]

Good luck! 🤞
