Thread: Spare wheel carrier - 130 trayback

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.

Hi Iclick, quite a few Trayon owners just let the camper overhang the rear of their tray. It can require a little ingenuity to adapt the rear tie downs but I have seen it done. My tray was purchased extra long to suit the Trayon and allows me to have the spares against the headboard, keeping their weight forward while not having the camper overhang at the rear. 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!

I thought a video might be better, that way you can pause wherever it suits for the best shot.

Hope this helps.
