Extra spare wheel rack


I'm considering a rack for an extra spare on our VW Trakkadu  .. no room inside or on the roof.

I came across this photo.. can't find the maker nor so far any other source, but it's pretty much what I'm after.

Anyone know a manufacturer?  Thanks for any help

My spare wheel carrier came from ARB, have you tried them, they have a big range but to me, mainly for 4x4.

Hi, Have you tried enlarging the first photo and seeing if you can read the sticker to the right of the towball. Looks like a manufacturers sticker to me.

What a great idea fried rice. Would suit my van too having a liftup back door.
My spare is under the van, doubt I would be able to get it out if I needed it. The one on the front is only for show or to protect me from straying animals.

Thanks for responses folks..

PeterinSA.. ARB only do "Standard" 4WD brands  .. VW Transporter not included

Hako.. I'm trying to contact 4WD systems  will phone them today, Thanks for tip. I wonder how I'll get on with my vehicle in Bris and their factory in SA.

Yuglamron..Enlarged image becomes too vague to read. A good idea but....

Happy Wanderer.. My spare is under the van as well and a bugger to get out; I reckon you should learn how to "download" your spare though, even if

it's just enough to show a good samaritan how to help you one day. I'm investigating a second spare wheel in case of need while in remote country. We almost had that

experience in WA a couple of years back, partly because our VW was wearing odd-size tyres. I've now switched to a different size which is more readily available.

I will be interested in how you solve your dilemma as I'm looking at VW T5 vans.

It won't be brand new though. Maybe up to around 140000 kms and no older than 2005 manufacture.

Newer and less km would also be good....if I can find.

I will have more space....only 3 of us. Me , myself and I.
