Range Rover Club - Victoria

We were contacted recently by a 2000 HSE Rangie owner who has been trying to source a rear bar/wheel carrier - without much success. He's found one manufacturer who may do a run if  there are a few people interested and has asked if we could canvas RRCV members. So, if you have a Mk2 Rangie, and have always thought a rear bar would be useful, this may be your chance. Read on - and contact James direct if you are interested.

Subject: Rear Bar / Wheel Carrier P38a

Hi there I'm a RR owner ( 2000 HSE 4.6 ) trying to get some support so a new product will be produced for the P38a if several other owners are interested, can you canvass your members?

I have been trying to source a rear tyre carrier bumper combo for the P38a and have been frustrated by the lack of aftermarket products available for my 2000 RR. I have convinced www.4x4intelligence.com.au that a demand exists among RR owners and they will commence a limited run production if other owners in Australia or over sea's prove me correct and commit to ordering a bar with what ever custom variation they want. I personally want to order a bar with a twin rear wheel carrier. I have no commercial interest in this company. I just want a stock part to be made for my vehicle rather than paying a fortune for a custom build. All the other manufacturers ARB, Kaymar etc have refused to consider manufacturing or in kaymars case even releasing details of the old design so I could have it custom built.

If members of the community jump on the band wagon the opportunity exists to have a standing stock part. Pricing on the initial build is as follows if you or anyone else are interested email me and I will send you their details.

[FROM www.4x4intellignce.com.au]
we will have to do a complete rear bar with the wheel carrier. We will only start this project with a firm order and payment for minimum of 2 bars, with or without wheel carriers.

$1240 ea. for 2-4 bars, 1190 ea. for 5 or more bars. GST included.

To add the wheel carrier and jerry holder is:
- add 100/stub axle each side = 200
- add 720 for jerry holder
- add 680 for wheel carrier

Extra 380 for lights if doing a dual carrier, as the OE lights will be obstructed. Freight for each bar will be 200.

If you want to look at the product it will be a modified D2 bar that 4x4 intelligence already produce. ( see http://www.4x4intelligence.com.au/rear_bar.htm )
