Swing Away Spare Wheel Carrier - TF051

• Suits Hard Tops and Station Wagons (1983 to 2016)

Originally Land Rover mounted the spare wheel on the bonnet of early vehicles.

This was fine on a Series III with skinny tyres but as wheel and tyre options began to increase the logical choice was to put it on the back door. Ever since then Land Rover owners have suffered with rattling, cracked and broken rear doors, the larger the wheel & tyre and the rougher the conditions the worse the situation. Terrafirma Defender swing away spare wheel carrier suitable for Defender 90 and Defender 110 Station Wagons and Hard Tops 1983 to 2016.

The TF051 Defender spare wheel carrier is attached primarily to the body capping and to the rear crossmember for improved load bearing as well as the rear door via an anti-vibration sliding piston assembly that allows the carrier to move automatically when the door is opened and closed. The hinges incorporate tough nylon bushes for long life and a rust-free joint.
