Load space on the bed is already tiny though on the 90Plus looks good on the bonnet (beauties very much in the eye of the beholder.)
Yes, cos its an off-road vehicle!
If you want load space, get a transit or a Volvo estate! Whatever it looks like on the bonnet, it takes a lot of visibility just where you want it when picking your way over tricky terrain. Just my personal opinion, though, its your motor, if you like it you should do it!

I cant mitch. The lights are positioned in such a way that they would be crushed when opening door, if door mounted. The normal rear cross member is replaced with a heavy duty angled bumper which means that the body work has been adjusted in rear corners, not therefore enabling fitment of a swing away carrier without quite a bit of modification again. That was my preferred option at beginning. Just seems too much agro having had a couple of people look at it first hand to doing this.

Also a pain wjen you are working, swinging the wheel all the time as you open the door to reach in for tools, wire etc. palls after the first few hundred times.
Sub optimal for cooling!

I agree! The less I see of it the better. They're feckin big, awkward things to carry about. I've had one puncture in a year, so for me it can stay up on the rack until it's needed!

Does anyone in reality do this? as this is a computer gen picture.There is always this option, don't know what the plods/VOSA ( or whatever they are called this week) view on it would be though

I have a van for load lugging but a 235/85 in the back of a 90 leaves about a cigarette packets worth of space in the back.
when i go to a trial i will take the wheel off and leave it in the pile with all the toolboxes and other guys spare wheels at the pits.
and since we have no legal green lanes near by - offroading any other time is really out of the question.

when you have a 90 pick up theres not many convienant places the rest of the truck over.
ideal world id have a swing away over the tailgate but thats where my bike rack goes
So get a wheel mounted bikerack. they just strap to the spare wheel. then you can have both.
for mounting any spare I'd always say go for a swingaway carrier.
