Weeds...

I found this website that is located in Germany that build overland Defenders in a similar way to Mulgo.

Ex-Tec Expeditions- und Rallye-Technik - Kundenfahrzeuge

Search for the "katalog"

They have a bike carrier set up off the spare wheel on the back. Obviously you would need the spare wheel to be mounted off the chassis. This might be an easier alternative.

They have some cool ideas for interior fit out as well

something like this....





I have though about this idea when the rijidij carrier goes on.

I see what you mean, I got the SD roll cage doing that job. Technically, it is only a "Ladder Rack" according to the Engineer, as I didn't fit the internal bar.

I just bought a bike rack for the Mog and Discovery - ISI one that fits on the towbar. They seem to have a good reputation. The mog one is the biggest they make to clear the sloping rear and bag etc.
The bikes will be higher up than most but it folds down so we can get to the rear compartment. If we are stopping for any length of time, I'll unbolt it and use it as a bike stand

They work for big spare wheels as well.

Thanks Iain

I need the rack to open with the door.....i.e. Opening the rear door from the inside
