Raslarr Rear Bar Upgrade on Y62 Nissan Patrol

When it comes to building a touring-ready Y62 Nissan Patrol, rear barwork plays a bigger role than most people realise.

Protection is only part of the equation. Storage, weight distribution, practicality and long-range capability all come into play — especially if you’re setting your Patrol up for off-grid travel.

This Y62 came back into the shop for the next stage of its build: upgrading its Raslarr rear bar setup with a spare wheel carrier and jerry can holder.

The result? More range. More practicality. Same tough Raslarr foundation.

This Y62 Patrol Build

This particular customer already had their Raslarr rear bar installed. The foundation was there — now it was time to expand the setup for serious touring.

We added:

• Spare wheel carrier
• Jerry can holder

Simple additions on paper — but game-changing for practicality.

Spare Wheel Carrier – Why It Matters

The Y62 Patrol is a heavy vehicle. When modified for touring, weight management becomes critical.

Relocating the spare wheel to a dedicated rear carrier:

• Frees up interior cargo space
• Reduces roof load requirements
• Improves access when running drawers or touring setups
• Keeps weight positioned correctly

For remote trips, easy spare access isn’t optional — it’s essential.

---

Jerry Can Holder – Extra Range for Remote Travel

When you’re heading off-grid, fuel range matters.

Adding a jerry can holder provides:

• Extended touring range
• Backup fuel security
• Improved weight distribution compared to roof storage
• A cleaner, more integrated setup

For long-distance touring or remote tracks, that additional fuel capacity provides real peace of mind.

Building in Stages – The Smart Way to Modify

One of the best things about the Raslarr rear bar system is that it allows staged upgrades.

You don’t have to do everything at once.

Start with the rear bar.
Add carriers later.
Expand as your touring needs grow.

That’s exactly what this customer did.

It’s a practical approach that spreads cost over time while still building toward a complete, purpose-built setup.

Why Rear Bar Upgrades Matter on the Y62

The Y62 Patrol is a capable platform straight from the factory. But once you start touring seriously, rear-end functionality becomes important.

A properly engineered rear bar:

• Protects against off-road impacts
• Improves departure angle
• Provides mounting options for accessories
• Supports weight safely
• Enhances long-term durability

And when it’s combined with quality carriers and correct installation, the setup becomes both practical and reliable.
