Discovery 2 spare tire relocator $89

[FIVESPDDISCO]

New from our friends at Rover Bones is an all steel spare tire relocator designed to lift the spare tire an extra 2.5 inches. This will give you the ability to fit a 35in tire. They are $89 each.

why would anyone want to fit such an uncivilized sized tire to a Land Rover? the stock carrier is very robust as is.

You're robust.

Not as robust as the door hinges, though.

That's why I copied the Duke boys and welded the rear door shut on my Disco. I now have to use my hi-lift jack to lift the heavy-ass spare wheel onto the carrier, but that's a different story.

Cool, I'll be needing one of these soon...

This one claims 2-1/2" more which is much better than the RoverParts version. Flipping the existing tire carrier got me a bit more clearance than the RoverParts but still wasn't enough for my 33's. I ended getting a custom fab and they charged me $50. It works great and gives me plenty of spare (pardon the punn) room.

Flipping the carrier should have easily given you enough room for a 33" spare.

Maybe he flipped it twice?

I flipped my stock spare carrier and fit a set of 265/75/16 tires with maybe 1/2" of clearance over the stock plastic bumper (2004 D2). I put on a set of 285/75/16s and the tire hits the plastic bumper. The Greg Davis rear bumper I have sitting here on my office floor should take care of that.
