Just wanted to pick your communal brain about the can and can't do's of spare tyre carriers. I have a quandry as to what to do with my spare tyre now that is doesn't fit in the standard rangie spot. It sits flat in the back now, strapped down with the toolbox. I'm looking at doing some longer trips and want to set up the back for sleeping and what-not. The problem now arrises as to where to put the spare. I really dont want to put it outside because A: it spoils the pretty Rangie bum (including bumper) B: It'll get caught on everything, and C: swingaway carriers are so cliched.
I was thinking of designing and building my own, higher up and out of the way that perhaps opens downwards like the lower tailgate. But this would eliminate most vision out the rear-view mirror. I've read through the ADRs (12/02 and 14/00 I think apply) and it pretty much just tells me that if, for whatever reason the internal mirror is useless, you have to have a passenger-side mirror, and thats it.
Just wanted to see if anybody has some insight into the legalities/technicalities of this, in NSW particular. I haven't worked out exactly what I'll do or how I'll do it so any ideas are also welcome!
I reckon it'd look tough on the bonnet, but forget getting it up there, the bonnet opening or the bonnet actually surviving!
