Twin spare carrying holder for rear of vehicle?
Seeing photos of Defenders with twin spare wheels on the back, I wondered how and if such holders were made as opposed to the single swing-out type. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

Rijidij Offroad in Australia do them. Apparently very high quality too. But as you will see in below pictures, the Defender being a very old car design, meaning it is not very wide, two spare wheels will stick out at both sides. And you will have to relocate your rear lights too.

We have one of Rijidij's single spare wheel carriers, wonderful bit of kit.
It swings with the door and locks itself and the door open, bonus is no latch to use when it's all shut.
Murray also does a bracket to mount 2 wheels to the one carrier, the inner needs to be a steel rim for the addaptor to pass through. Cheers,
Kyle.

That must weigh a ton.
