Old & Moved A-Frame Solutions

If you can fit a Honda EU20 and Weber Q220 in between the gas bottles, I'm in!
Awesome Burnsy, I just want to move the gas bottles over so I can get the spare out without take them off, also was thinking the other day of raising the spare, so it doesn't hang so low

Wise plan. I hated the spare acting as a plow. Gas bottles already outside frame. Cut the spare carrier off, flipped it, trimmed to fit on top. Made a plate with studs to engage two wheel stud holes and used threaded bolt into same central hole.
Hi Geoff, I just moved the spare from back to front to allow for the bike rack. The pole carriers have sullage hose in one and annexe poles in the other.
Cheers.
I just checked and our bed lid does sit lower like @crackacoldie stated, if you can adjust for that like you have said mate I reckon you are on a winner!
Just a little update, I modified my frame yesterday by removing the mounting brackets that were welded underneath and welded them inside the frame, this dropped the frame by 25mm. I then cut out the rhs in front of the spare wheel.....looks better i recon. An improved version on it's way and this time will be galvanized! Still working on the pop top design, I can't spend all my time on these unfortunately although i'd like to 
Nice work Burnsy. I understand about the time issue. I guess you have to divide your time up evenly between working on the A frame and typing posts on the forum!
Hi all,
Just thought i'd let you know that i'm also doing rear bars, at the moment I have an order for a rear bar with swing down bracket for spare wheel. I then have another 18-57-6 (on road) to modify, rear bar for bike rack then a frame similar to mine on the front to remove the "spare wheel plough". Also on the go is hinged gas bottle holders which will be galvanized and simply bolt straight on to replace existing holders.
I'll get some pics up as items are complete.....maybe start a new thread!
Cheers.

Jeez...You've reminded me to do the hinged gas bottles on mine. The note must have slipped off fridge!
We like pics....
Of Burnsy's work not burnsy himself
That one looks like a copy of this one

But not quite as good quality. Also the trailmax one includes shipping Aus wide. A mate has one and works a treat. I have the round bar style.
