I would like to point out how the 461's have the spare wheel mounted on a bumper carrier instead of the rear door. Those doors are not meant to carry all that weight for hundreds of miles of offroading without wearing out or needing to be adjusted all the time. I plan on making a swing out wheel carrier for mine and a lightweight ladder that mounts on the bolts on the door and hinges like that license plate holder on the pic above.
These spare tires are body mounted not bumper mounted. The bumperettes on the Canadian version 461 would not stand up to any kind of prolonged stress from mounted accessories. hey are light and very cool though. The Aussie bumpers, front and rear, are much more robust.
Frankly, I would rather have my spare on the door than bolted to the body sheet metal. Of course it is great for a double rear door G-class, but on a large single rear door, the door mount is a no-brainer.
