Wilco rear tire carrier

[Andy]

I’m hunting for a way to carry my spare tire on the back and came across this product. I was curious if anyone has experience with Wilco off-road, seems to be a robust tire carrier and I should be able to plug my bike rack into this as well! Only thing I’m slightly concerned about is the weight of the carrier(54 ish lbs), tire(60 ish lbs), a Yakima bike rack with a few mtn bikes(49 lbs plus 35 ish lbs per bike) so overall I would be looking at a tongue weight approaching 275 lbs if I had 4 bikes on there....

Thoughts Delica hive mind?

I can recommend the Good Karrma Rear Bumper with swing arm spare tire carrier.


It held up perfectly in Death Valley as we hit 90+ miles of sandy, rocky, washboard, rutted dirt roads and descended through some gnarly technical bits (well, gnarly for me)

Well, @Kellyn or @paul can answer better for the Good Karrma one that I have

But, @Porscheken can answer for the Xplormor bumper. https://www.facebook.com/xplormoroffroad/

I really should just bite the bullet and go that route....on a side note still can’t wait to see how your aux fuel tank works out!

For the sake of diversity, RiG’d makes some very nice hitch-mounted tire swing arms:

UltraSwing™ Multi-Fit Spare Tire Hitch Mount | RiGd Supply

The UltraSwing™ Multi-Fit spare tire hitch mount is a swing-out tire carrier designed for mid-size trucks and SUVs including Tacoma, Lexus GX, and Subaru.

www.rigdsupply.com

I like that they advertise it for use with bike racks, as this appeals to me as an avid mountain biker. Also, they have a lot of useful accessories that can be easily attached. I’m thinking about going this route for use between my van and GX470 (same bolt pattern), although I’ve bought most of the components to fabricate my own bumper with swingout that will feature a 2” receiver that swings out with the tire like the RiG’d.

Just for the sake of a wide range of options, something like this hitch mounted tire carrier is probably the least expensive option. I have no idea about quality, strength or longevity, but might be worth a look. Swings down to allow the rear tail gate to open.

I just chatted with RiG'd online and they said they Ultaswing would not fit on the Delica because the distance between the hitch and the rear gate is too small.

Did you end up going this route?

Just installed this rear hatch mounted ladder and tire carrier today!

Did you have any issues with the shallow hitch? I messaged them and they said because my hitch wasn’t deep it might not work.
