I would like to set the rear of my vehicle up with a swing away rear wheel carrier and just a lower swing out rear door like the one pictured. Any ideas who sells the carrier and door assembly?

Regards Warrick.

Not specifically that one but Rijidij does a rear swing away arm for the Defender.
Might be worth getting in touch with him :)

G'day Warrick,
That looks identical to the one sitting on the floor in my shed. I'll flick you a PM with my phone number if you're interested in it.
Cheers

Hi Warwick,
The door is a home made jobbie. Get yourself a rear door at the wreckers and chop the top off. Rivet a cap on and done.

I am assuming it was a 110 troopy so they just cut the door. Good idea and easy to do as the capping would cover the cut if it was a bit dodgy

I thought it might have been the way it was done but it is such a good idea that I was hoping it could be purchased as an aftermarket mod. Looks like I need to find a rear door from the wreckers.

I have no photos sorry, but I did this on my first Land Rover in the UK, a Series 2 Truckcab. I used a UK 'Swingaway' wheel carrier and a modified tailgate as it looked better than a chopped door! Good luck!
