Land Rover Defender Truck Cab Wheel Carrier - Heavy-Duty Swing-Away Tire Carrier for Off-Roading

Upgrade your Land Rover Defender's functionality with our premium Truck Cab Wheel Carrier, designed for maximum durability and ease of use.

Key Features:

• 
  Pre-Greased for Immediate Use: All wheel carriers come pre-greased, ensuring smooth operation right out of the box.


• 
  Automotive-Grade Timken Roller Bearings: These high-quality bearings ensure long-lasting performance, making the carrier fully serviceable via a grease nipple for easy maintenance.


• 
  Custom Stainless-Steel Mechanical Latch: Features a spring return and safety pin that keeps the wheel carrier securely closed during travel, with a gas strut and damper that supports the wheel during opening.


• 
  Adjustable Head: Supports wheel and tire combinations up to 37 inches, making it versatile for various setups.


• 
  OREsome Powder Coating System: Coated with our super-tough OREsome powder coating, tested to withstand a 1000-hour salt spray corrosion test, providing exceptional durability akin to British tank armor.


• 
  No Drilling Required: Installation is hassle-free, requiring no additional drilling, and is fully compatible with the OREstyle rear step and genuine NAS rear steps.


• 
  Fully Compatible with Ifor Williams Canopy: This wheel carrier is designed to work seamlessly with popular Ifor Williams canopies, making it ideal for utility vehicles.


• 
  Additional Compatibility: Suitable for 90 and 110 Defenders, but not compatible with 130 double cab models. May require an additional cross-member hole for increased rigidity and involves swapping tailgate hinge pins for optimal fit.


• 
  Safety Consideration: We recommend not using this wheel carrier when passengers are in the rear, as the tailgate cannot be operated from inside the truck.

Product Overview:

After 12 months of complex development and rigorous testing, including a 3-month tour of Africa, we are proud to introduce our Defender Truck Cab Wheel Carrier. Designed for ultimate functionality, this carrier opens independently of the tailgate, making access to your drop-down tailgate easier than ever. The custom stainless-steel mechanical latch mechanism, combined with a specially calibrated gas strut, ensures that the carrier opens effortlessly and locks securely in place. The arm closes against rubber stops at the cross-member, not on the tailgate, for a cleaner, more secure fit.

This wheel carrier is not just built to last; it's designed to perform under the toughest conditions. The use of automotive-grade Timken roller bearings and a custom bearing housing allows for easy maintenance, ensuring that your wheel carrier remains in top condition for years to come. The adjustable head can accommodate wheel and tire combinations up to 37 inches, offering flexibility for different setups.

Manufactured in Great Britain to extremely high tolerances (0.02mm), our Defender Truck Cab Wheel Carrier meets our ZERO COMPROMISE standards of quality. Whether you're overlanding or using your Defender for work, this wheel carrier is built to handle the rigors of daily use, ensuring your investment is protected.
