same principle as a scissor jack
the threaded rod in the center, just screw that up / in / and the inside section(with the wedge pieces on the side) grip onto the tyre, and lift it up....
$159..gag,gag..!!!!!!!..........................those bed ends would be a perfect match for my van, it was built at the end of the week when the place closes for Xmas and all they could think about was their bloody holidays........great pics by the way.
wasn't too stressed today,
made a start on the vents for my box
hardest part was finding the Alli Flyscreen (I know its SOMEWHERE here) and trimming it to size
finally settled on
vent
alli flyscreen silastic to vent
double sided tape around hole in box
vent then pop riveted to it........
Im happy (and thats all that matters)
have to get another one the same size as used, for the other side, the small one I have, I will put underneath

but nothing I can use for my carrier.......

lol,lol, hey @bigcol sounds like my place, I had to spray some spots with roundup to see what I had, which meant a massive cleanup, found what I needed and place looks very nice now. I'm trying to keep it that way, it's hard.
well, a little bit of happenings over the last few days......
went over to my mate workshop to scrounge some scrap steel for my wheel carrier......
being the end of the month, there was very very little left over....
in the end, we found some 50x50x5 RHS & some 90x50x4 Angle
enough to get it done.........
piccies for all you guys.........
a few slight mod's as per @dagree drawing, and a few of my ideas thrown in as well...........

its still a work in progress..........
