SECOND HAND SPARE WHEEL CARRIER GOING ON THE DEFENDER (Scotland Prep)

In this video I have purchased a second hand spare wheel carrier off Facebook Market place, which I believe to be Mantec one but unsure.
In the video I strip the wheel carrier down and grease up the pivot points and also have to drill hole in a perfectly good peace of my Landy.
I never claim to be a mechanic and have never fitter a spear wheel carrier before, so I'm working it out as I go.
I hope you enjoy this video.

Just dug my same carrier out of the back garden to go on my Y reg 110. Chassis has just arrived from Krakow ❤

Spare wheel is with little Bessy if you want to use it..I took wording off of it x

i bought a back door for one of mine brand new am sure it was 140 quid was about two years ago think it was off ebay,for the top mount make a plate to go inside i used some flat bar as mine ripped all the metal out with the weight of my 34 inch wheel just a thought for you

[@JoshsLandyLife]

Yeah it’s definitely a good idea to reinforce the door. I’ll definitely be doing that when I get a new door 👍

[@graham-martin5847]

@@JoshsLandyLifehi I meant the top hinge on the tub my bolts pulled through the ally and the cappings so I put a plate behind it

[@JoshsLandyLife]

Oh ! Sorry I know exactly what you mean, I have a nice thick piece of steel behind them 👍

SPEAR wheel?

[@JoshsLandyLife]

spellings not my strongest point

just put a galc chassis on mine. i painted mine for extra protection. wax inside aswell. howcome u left it bare?

[@JoshsLandyLife]

Purely down to time scale, I didn’t have time to wait for the galv to become paintable and I only had a 2 week window with the workshop I borrowed. But I would have loved to, maybe if I ever do another one in the future I would paint it up and that. 👍

@JoshsLandyLife i just covered it in some underseal that goes rock hard. i would reccomend spreying underneath it all, then leave it a day to dry. only what i would reccomend tho, u did a good job changing it, its not an easy task, well i didnt think it was lol

[@JoshsLandyLife]

I use used engine oil on the underneath of mine like on the axles and body. It work wonders on the inside of the wheel arches, but if I can get the chassis down now even tho it’s under the truck I definitely would. Just need to look in to it.
