oi nupty, they only fit on one way :roll:  as I have said before, jack up the body on the drivers side to get the track bar to clear the fill plug. Also get a 14mm allen socket (have one spare somewhere) and a B&Q water sprayer for fill your diffs as PTP has posted many times on here.

horse...water...can't drink..etc

What type of water sprayer? Anyone got a link?

My suction pump / oil transfer thingy just covers me in smelly GL5 every time I do the job.

OK ...spent ages this pm reading 4WD and Qtech catalogues for adaptors to fit 33's as spares using standard wheels eg going 33 x 10.5 R15 tyres....Don't want swingaway...

Any info would be much appreciated before I possibly take the plunge...

Stew,

Got a set of these for the back of the TJ to hold the spare in place as our 31's were fouling against the bump stops.

The picture is for ref only, got them for about £2 each IIRC from local car parts place. I have got a spare set of 3 if you want to try them, spose you just need to borrow a 33" x 10.5" wheel to see if it will do the trick. You should be able to get em in various lengths from somewhere

the weight of a 33 on ya door bkt will fook up yer door in no time without some sort of re- enforcing/fab work. best top carrier is the best idea. Manda has one on and it works well and the spare sits in tight against the back.
