Just fitted due to advice on here the RLD Spare Wheel Protecter, (Fits like a glove Ray ) whilst underneath I noticed two lumps of heavy metal behind the rear bumper, like weights, lump of metal then through the chassis rail and then another heavy lump of solid metal, probably about the size of a Shot Putt, same on both sides, they just sit there, you can swing them backwards and forward. Just wondered what they are for?

Got 21 years out of the first wife so far. She is almost broken in now, like a comfy pair of shoes.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
