The under tray option looks good. Mine is a dual-cab so I'm not sure that I'd have enough room just behind the cab. Perhaps raising he tray and tucking it under the rear is something I should look into.

Not sure if you have the tray built/installed yet - but with only minor changes it is easy to mount the spare under the tray and on top of the fuel tank of a 130 dual cab. My experience is with stock 7.50 X 16 tyres. Would be a bit more engineering for wider tyres.
No real need to lift the tray - its more about the distance between the main rails for the tray and the mounting system at the back.

My 130 dual cab tray back, not only has the spare wheel under the tray, but also a 60 ltr water tank and a second fuel tank of 125 ltr's.

I built my tray high enough to fit 2 spares underneath, but have since bought a bonnet with the wheel mount, so 1 tyre fits underneath, and for expeditions the other tyre goes on the bonnet. I can just squeeze 255/85R16 wheels underneath.
I also carry a Trayon ;)
Hey Ranga.. do you think you'd be able to send me some snaps of your tray setup with the tyres mounted below? No rush, I'm picking up the Trayon at the end of Feb and will look at where to store the spare once I've collected the camper.Quote:

However,the towbar needed the longest Hayman-Reese extension available to allow me to reach my trailer coupling conveniently. Cheers, 130man.
First, I forgot to send my congratulations on picking up a Trayon - I'm sure you'll be very happy!Quote:

Hope this helps.

This is all definitely food for thought and when I get the camper I'll see what works out the best.
