Has anyone used or seen the above and can vouch for it? I was after a military one but those seem difficult to find and this Front Runner one came up. More info here http://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/la...e-wheel-mount-defender-200300tdi-and-td5.html

IIRC the rear door mount works on the bonnet as well , same as series versions will fit , I think you need to mod the under bonnet frame, but its just pop riveted HTSH

ps you remove the hoop

Had a look at one of these the last time I was in Craddocks, the seem well made but I'm toying with either sticking it on the bonnet but probably using the rear door jobber cos I'm a tight wad or using one of those 'well' things you used to have in series land rovers and having it inside where it's a bit more secure as I've got boost alloys.

I do like the 'look' of it on the bonnet, it's just the thought of having a few hundred quid stuck on the bonnet open to the elements and thieving gits that puts me off.

I had a military one on before. I've got the wheel mounted on the rear door at the moment but I really don't like it there. Managed to find a military bonnet mount for much cheaper than the Front Runner thingymabob, plus I don't think that looks sturdy enough for my liking
