Moved a seat to the top of a small block with a plantation of Xmas trees in the middle that the fallow have been frequently a lot lately.

Alas the fallow weren’t there but these two made the mistake of wondering out in front of me

Do you have a cover for that basket to permit use on the highway without spooking fellow road users? Thinking of something similar for the Jimny.

It’s for off road use only

You could easily use a cheap tarp from tool station & some bungy straps

Is that towbar mounted? What sort of weight can those baskets manage? I know that tow bar bike carriers have issues with point loading

It’s mounted using a Land Rover NAS (North American Spec) 2” tow receiver which it slides into & is secured using a cross pin. It’s not a Heck basket, they’re too small to take the use this often gets, was fabricated specially & will easily take more weight than the 250kg tow ball nose weight of the Disco!

K - don’t forget, if you’re using it on the road it needs to have reflectors fitted plus number plate & lights if the ones on the vehicle are obscured

If you wanted a cover for it I’d recommend getting in touch with Mark at DeerTrayCovers and I’m sure he’d be able to help you out.
