Tailgate Tyre/Jerrycan carrier.

[Big Bug]

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of being able to open the tailgate without having to swing out a tyre carrier as well.

Yes the gas struts definitely have to be upgraded.

The second photo showing the one using that adjustable tie down track looks possible to make. I think the track is held to the door with nutsurts and adhesive. It looks very neat.

This one is Canadian and is made by Gary Lee for the T4 tailgate. May be able to be modified for the T5. The swing-out versions he makes for the T3 are really well made.

Do you need to drill into the tailgate to mount this or does it clamp to the edge of the doorskin?

Trying to copy these ideas from the T4/T5 to adapt to my Holden Adventra:

That Gary Lee version hooks over the top of the door and is tightened by the clamps on the bottom. I ended not going with that version as it was way too heavy so I discarded it and went with a lighter version.



The Airline Track/Versa Track attaches to the door with stainless steel bolts, nutserts and adhesive. Then the frames are bolted to the track. I only lightly load it, 10 litres of water, 10 of diesel when needed, Maxtrax and shovel. Worked well on the Cape York trip. I based it on this design. I

I’m ever mindful of having too much weight on it as the door hinges are fairly small.
