Spare wheel carrier double cab with ladder

Hi all

Just a quick one.
I’m after a spare wheel carrier to free up some space in the back and don’t want it on the roof rack as can’t fit under car park barriers in town !
I’ve got a pair of ladders going up the back and want to make sure it doesn’t foul them.

Does Anyone know of one that fits ? I don’t want to spend a fortune on a nakatenga etc and would rather stay around the £350 mark if possible

Thanks

The Allisport one would fit with no problems, but you won't get one for £350 unfortunately.

I think that your choice will probably be limited to the upper end of the price range since the cheaper ones all tend to have a hinge on the body capping where you o/s ladder is located. The better ones, the type that only mount to the crossmember, tend to be more expensive.

If your ladder is bolted into the capping then I reckon the safari equip one would just about fit! This bolts below the capping, you would loose your rope tie down point though.

It also had the option to come hot dip galvanised before paint so should last a while. Purchased from Brendan at 4x4overlander

Pickup with drop down tailgate the choice is reasonably limited

Choices start at the Safari Equip mild steel version (several versions) then move up in price to Nakatanenga, Alisport, Kaymar.

Now the safari equip one bolts below top capping and onto the anti luce latch on the nearside. As Roy says you may have issues with the rope cleats. You may have to get creative if you want to keep rope hooks.

Get the best. A Nak carrier will fit, no holes to drill, no rattling, no rust, will hold it’s value, easy to fit.

Brilliant , thank you for the replies.
I’ll have a good look at the safari equip , galvanised sound great.

I would love the Nakatenga but at that price I can live with my spare on the roof ! https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/

The other alternative is to change the drop down tailgate to a side hung half door. That would mean a lot more of the standard wheel carriers will be possible solutions.
