Swingaway tyre carrier ?

Post by dpradford »

I have a coily with a cracked rear door, I'm assuming it's cracked because the tyre hanging off it is a bit heavy.
So does anyone know where I can get a rear bar with tyre carrier to suit the coily?

you would have to make one up i suspect, there are no aftermarket options
im currently making one for my lwb.
theres quite a bit of technical fab work to get one looking good and having it functional.

I figure you have done the search by now by i'll throw in my 2c anyhow. One of the biggest reasons that zuks work so well is that they are light. If you add a tire carrier you are going to add stacks of top cog weight to your car.

My advice is to spend the money on a new/ 2nd hand door and rethink your spare wheel/tire choice. Also you could brace the back of your stock carrier.
Just my 2c.

Just strap the spare to the floor in the back. When with passengers leave it at home or strap it to the roof.
