130 Rear Swing-Out Wheel Carrier

Are there any options out there for a robust 130 rear swing-away tire carrier?

I found this one from Frontrunner but can't find detail photos of it installed anywhere (besides these).

This one from Tembo looks nice but is $2,500....

As you know, the bed of a 130 sticks out several inches from the rear crossmember, so I'd imagine there needs to be a large bracket spanning the gap, from the crossmember to the lower hinge.

Anyone know what other options exist?

the front runner one will rattle like a a mofo because it similar to the britpart 110 soft top one and relies on the "anti luce" to keep the tire in place. i would just contact a local fab shop and have them make you one with an actual load bearing hinge and a latch,. you can get builder kits online cheap. what ill be doing

That looks like the right way to do it. That could possibly be my new favorite 130 ever.

I just went to the ORE site and i don’t see that option for drop down tailgates. Might you have a link you could share?

Thanks!

I wonder if this will work w/ HCPU. The mounting seems the be flush with the rear of the truck. A HCPU mount would need the mounting point to be inset (towards the front of the truck) from the rear tailgate, as the bed hangs out further than the rear crossmember.

Maybe it's for rear ends such as this:

Yeah, i realized that. Here is the note i got from Rijidij:

I make the wheel carriers to order, lead time is usually 3-6 weeks depending on how busy we are.

However at the moment it will possibly be 10-12 weeks due to a backlog of orders from last year.

The whole 4wd and camping industry is unusually busy at the moment due to overseas travel restrictions, among other things.



For more information, you can see the
fitting instructions here which will show you a lot of detail.



Defender 130 wheel carrier AU$1300 (Less AU gst 10% = AU$1182)

Shipping : Deliver to address at USA 98833 AU$647

Total : AU$1829 (US$1315)

As you can see, shipping is quite expensive from Australia now due to the COVID situation.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you would like to place an order.

I don't require a deposit for standard products.

Invoices are sent on completion via email prior to shipping and include links to payment options.

If you install a substantial rear bumper, a custom wheel carrier can be mounted to it.
If you have a receiver hitch and you don't tow, a custom wheel carrier can use it as a mount point.
