Rear door spare wheel carrier
William:
Hi guys
Ive got a landrover 90 1985 N/A and wit this model the spare wheel is fixed in the rear load area which is a rite pain in the arse! it gets in the way and whenever i need to use it for work i have to take it out to fit stuff in. Anyway i was wondering whether i could fix a spare wheel carrier to the back door, not the swing away type the conventional type. I was worried about all that extra weight on the rear hinges, would they hold it? also the door seems rather un engineered for the weight. How are these wheel carriers fixed? Any ideas would be appreciated. :?:
Tiki Al:
the rear door mounts buckle the door and make the hinges drop after time, you'd be better off getting a swing-away type ( only my opinion of course) :D

Cheers for the advice. How expensive are they? How hard are they to fit?
littlepow:
About £100 - £150, depends on company. Really easy to fit, I did mine in a car park at work in about 1.5 hrs. :)
Tiki Al:
got rid of mine altogether and opted for the bonnet mount, can't see sod all in front now but it looks cool :D
