Hi Guys. I have recently bought a pre-owned 2008 Fortuner D4D 4x4 with long range diesel tank installed. I do not like the low mount of the spare tyre and would like some advice on the possible installation of a swing-away mount on the back door. Is this possible and are there good units on the market that will not break the piggy bank completely?
Some advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, Lagpau.

Thanks for the info, OOOOMS. I will contact them and hear about costs and different styles. Otherwise I may have to remove spare and load into the back when encountering tricky areas off-road. Lagpau.

Hi.
Mine is available! PM me your e-mail address and I'll send some pics. I want R3000 plus your towbar, because the whole thing is build on my tow bar.
