That's not good any idea of what's letting it happen?Slight mishap! Went over a few speed bumps and the bloody spare carrier swung open
Had to stop in the middle of traffic to refit! So bought a carabina which ill sling through the antiluce, one more thing to undo before getting into the boot
On a more positive note I did start painting the top cover in Raptor, which I planned to install on Sunday but accidents happen and
A trip to A&E and a few stitches later and im back home. Got my finger stuck in a ring pull/key ring coil used to hang me tools, I slipped back my finger had other ideas... Rather hard to spanner now! Even harder to use a drill!
Did get the top cover painted before that though!
Took a fair while to properly key up, the grinder was red hot by the time I finished!
Took a whole can plus a bit extra to get full coverage with the Acid Etch, Grip coating was also used around the edges, hinge and lock.
Masking up neatly took just as long, got it 99% perfect, few little bits need touching up around the edges and the lock handle
Two coats of Raptor, one bottle per coat 55psi with the Shutz, gave the texture I wanted
Swing away carrier is on plus a brand new 285/75 Cooper Pro tyre on a 16x8 Anthracite Steel Wheel
With the tyre on the departure angle is ruined, so much so the carrier swung open, snapped the securing cable and put a small dent above the fuel filler! So next time I go off road the spare will come off and sit in/on the back.
Good thing is though the NAS rear step isnt half bad, it does dig in a little but not like a plough, a small slider for it would help though.
Few more pics and videos from the day at Elham -
Not sure its meant to be this way up, but certainly looks at home!
Secured it to my mates landy stop it rolling down when we flipped it, was in gear handbrake on but cant be too careful!
Damage was less than expected, no dents just scratches and the window popped out but undamaged
Looks better already after a quick clean up!
Going to try some polish on it for now, then get those bits sprayed up at some point. Also probably going to push up the roll cage
I did notice a small chip in the Bowlers though it's small but there
Heres where the swing away swung open trying to climb, would have made it if I kept the momentum up!
Video of the recovery. Luckily we had a Mud Monsters marshal and two guys who run winch challenges often so was in good hands! 4 winches strapped on later and im right way up! Lucky I fit the sliders and the NAS Step!!
More videos coming, just go to trim em down a bit!
I brought a tomtom Bandit the other day will getting some footage over the next few week cost 200 so a hell of a lot cheaper than a go pro

Yeah will do I brought for off roading but told the missis it would be good for the family in summer on the boatThe GoPro is for taking footage off roading and when I go shooting haha. Though the tomtom one sounds decent, when you get some footage post it up.
You know im not sure to be honest but its got gps overlay so when you edit the footage you can put a map next to show where you were at the time along with speed and altitude and best of all a 3 hour battery
Haha your joking right , in a landrover no chanceThat is fine , as long as you are not speeding when you have the accident..........................
Cheers
Yeah its a nice little site, usually none damaging if the driver isnt an idiot haha, it happens and the damage is minor considering lol
Yeah next time we go down Ill send you a message, good you can have a look thru my videos, see what youd be willing to put the D3 through!
Not a dash cam its my GoPro Hero Session, though I do use the £50 Nextbase dashcam which is really good. Ill post some footage for you next week if you remind me!
@Jam1 I'm guessing its down to the weighty tyre bouncing up and down then knocking the antiluce connector out. Tad annoying but easily solved. Thing is supprisingly there isnt that much support for swing away carriers on pick ups... unless you fork out for the £1k Nakatenga one....
