I am exploring three options:
1. Use an aerosol tyre filler if I get a puncture and carry no spare
2. Mount on existing roofrack (but what mount do I use?)
3. Mount on after-market swing away rear carrier (http://www.duckworthparts.co.uk/acatalog/Off-road_Preparation.html)
I think the most elegant solution is the rear swing away. It has been seen on G4 vehicles, it is easy to access and a conventional method tried and tested on 4x4s and lambretta scooters.
The downside is that it may foul the removable NATO hitch I use for towing or worse I may no longer be able to fit the NATO hitch when needed.
The Roof option I think is out... I had a 110 double cab with this arrangement, it made a ridiculous amount of wind noise at anything over 45mph and getting it down was a farce when on your own. Putting it up again was never accomplished on my own.
I'm not keen on the aerosol arrangement as this is only any use on relatively minor repairs and is short term.
Has anyone else tried the swing away carrier? _____________________2005 G4 Discovery
