It is a funny old story, back in 1971 Land Rover decided to change the radiator grille on the Series Land Rover from a steel mesh to a trendy (for the time) plastic grille. Outback travellers were outraged, as the steel grille provided the perfect implement to chuck over a fire and cook dinner on; and melted plastic sausages just don’t taste very good. Hey, us Aussies are an inventive bunch… much like the team at Front Runner who have fought back to provide a simple and easy-to-store BBQ grate that fits over your spare tyre. The grille will fit over a 29-35in tyre no problems, and takes up virtually no space when stored. Constructed from stainless steel for longevity, and weighing in at just 4.5kg, the Front Runner Spare Tyre Grate makes up for the last 45 years of having to lug a BBQ plate around like a sucker.
