handling the tyres once they are on the ground is not too big a problem, getting them there is - I plan to fit a 150 lt fuel tank where the OEM tyre goes under the cab, so I'm looking at making a rear mount and that will have a winch/crane for it.
The photo shows what the it will look like in a few month's time.
I've very lucky that my wife is understanding - she also helps out on the truck where possible.
Here's a few videos on Unimogs in the UK - gives a good understanding of how big they are when you seen them next to normal cars.

Just an update on the works this month.
I've figured out how to fit the Range Rover seats into the cab - they are heaps more comfortable than the OEM seat. I have fitted an early D1 a/c condenser and fans into a roof console. Progress has been steady, with most of the time being focussed on fitting new portal axle gears to allow me to cruise at 100kph @ 2200rpm.
Other works include the designing of the rear cab. Here is a Solidworks model of the rear section of my Mog - A full size double bed is at the back of the cab, and we have space for a toilet/shower as well. The rear part opens up as does the top. The inspiration for that came from this build up which makes my truck seem tiny:
